Editor's Note
From the mind of screenwriter Aaron Sorkin (A FEW GOOD MEN) comes this controversial NBC drama, which became an immediate smash after premiering in 1999. Starring Martin Sheen as President Jed Bartlet, the series follows the hyperdramatic tension that accompanies everyday life in the White House. Addressing topical issues in every episode, Sorkin's drama features stellar supporting turns by Rob Lowe, Stockard Channing, and Moira Kelly. This release includes every episode from THE WEST WING's seven seasons.

"In an interview in the West Wing DVD package, creator Aaron Sorkin says that he had wanted to write about what happens in the minutes before and after the public political moments in Washington, DC. As the world now knows, he succeeded admirably when he created this often-decorated TV series set in the West Wing of the White House. Not only does it illuminate the people behind the scenes, but it does so with a style and substance rarely found in a weekly series. Added to Sorkin's exquisite dialogue are performances to die for and impressive re-creations of the sights and sounds of the office of the President." - Elaine Spooner
DVD Talk 10 of 10
"Every ten years or so, a show comes along that reminds you just how good television can be. A show that challenges conventional wisdom and wins. A show that leaves you speechless. The West Wing is such a show...The writing for this show is excellent. From the characterization, to the plots, to the dialog, every aspect of it is outstanding. The solid scripts gives the series a sound foundation that the actors and directors build on...The dialog in the show is wonderful to listen to. The lines are very fast paced, but they have a good rhythm." - John Sinnott

"It may just be the finest prime-time drama ever to grace the airwaves. The smart, snappy zingers of office politics meet the Gordian knots of global politics behind the scenes at the White House of the Bartlet administration, full of intelligent, compassion people you can't help but wish were more than the stuff of civic fantasy. The highly honored debut season of The West Wing, which won every award from the Emmy (the most ever for a freshman series) to the prestigious Peabody, is a gift to lovers of superlative television." - MaryAnn Johanson

5 of 5 West Wing Complete Series Amazing Tuesday, January 27, 2009
Susan from Stockton, CA
I love this purchase. This was one of my favorite shows and it is terrific to be able to load these dvds and watch a couple of episodes at my leisure. The box is very well set up and organized. The shipping was speedy and the product is of great quality. I couldn't be happier. Was this review helpful?  
5 of 5 Excellent all around Thursday, October 09, 2008
Jim from Delray Beach, FL
I order this for my dad as we both love this series. We already owned the individual seasons, but now we can both have it. The best part about this is the discs are one sided instead of the double sided when each season first came out. At least it was for the first 4 or 5 season. With all the extra material this made for a perfect gift. Best price and perfect sealed condition. Delivery was quick with no hassle. Recommended for anyone. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Excellent service, timely shipping, great product Tuesday, September 16, 2008
Parth Shah from Bloomington, IL
I was sent the product very promptly, and I received it sooner than I expected. The box, the paper materials, and the DVDs were all in perfect condition.
I also recommend to everyone to buy this product. The West Wing by itself is a very insightful series, but this collection even adds further to its elegance.
If you love the West Wing, you've gottu buy this!
And if you don't know much about it, I still recommend that you buy it, as I feel confident that you will relish the experience! Was this review helpful?
