Get out your hankies for the moving final season of The West Wing. It's not just because it's the last season, and the last time we know we'll hear that thrilling theme music. It's not just because it's the end of the line for the administration of President Josiah 'Jed' Bartlet (Martin Sheen), an inspiring, beloved fictional leader of the free world in a time of great cynicism about real-life politicians. It's also because of the sudden, untimely death of costar John Spencer, who played chief of staff Leo McGarry, who, like his character, was a recovering alcoholic and died of a heart attack in December 2005. Spencer's death was worked into the season's story line, and it's both exhilarating to see some of Spencer's finest work in the early episodes here, and heartbreaking to see the impact of his death on the cast. At one point, Martin Sheen delivers a moving on-air tribute: 'Johnny, it seems we hardly knew you.' Other highlights of the season include the fleshing out of presidential candidates Alan Alda and Jimmy Smits, both respectable, admirable and worthy opponents. And in abundance are the things viewers had come to love about the show: the witty dialogue and spot-on delivery, especially by actors Bradley Whitford, Richard Schiff, and the crack Allison Janney and the long tracking and circular shots of characters in their element (subsequently found on creator Aaron Sorkin's follow-up series, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip). If the story lines aren't as topnotch as some in earlier years, it hardly matters, as this is the season that wraps up the entire story arc. The gimmicks, like the live debate between Smits and Alda's characters, don't hold a candle to the true soul-searching and idealism found in every single episode. The set includes all 22 episodes, a glossy guide to each episode, and 'Live from the Director's Chair,' a mini-doc about filming the live debate episode. Hail to the chief! --A.T. Hurley

Rating:  - Rare is great TV progamming
I highly recommend this series for those who appreciate things that can elevate conversation and raise the level of the debate. The West Wing reminds me of how good TV programming and writing could be. I loved watching this series both originally as they aired as well as having the ability to watch them at my leisure.

The West Wing - The Complete Seventh SeasonThis is a great series. My granddaughter had not seen it the first time around.
She is 16 and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Rating: - Well, it all works out
Only the improbable event of a nuclear accident mars this compelling final season of "The West Wing" as the White House and the warring Democratic and Republican presidential campaigns interact in ways that eerily predict the current presidential campaign. Jimmy Smits and Alan Alda again are wonderful as the rival candidates (a little too good to be believed, but this, after all, is television), and many plot tensions that existed over the seven seasons of the series are satisfyingly tied off, including the return of Rob Lowe and Tim Busfield. It's great to watch it over the course of just a week or two -- it's like reading a novel you can't put down.
