Nah. It only costs 25 bucks from JB though.

It would be half that much just to pay for DVDs to burn it on!

let me here again express my total and utter love for this show. beautiful!

25 bucks! fark, i'm so there.

It's changed since September the 11th. I forgot how old it was before I started watching it from the start.

hmm....25 bux is good...but i only need disc 1....

actually i think i need the last disc too so maybe i will go buy it....

Torrents?

could only find torrents of the whole season (tho not exactly sure of the best place to look for torrents)

You know you can select which files of a torrent you want to get, don't you?

As long as the episodes are separate files, you should be able to choose only the ones you want.

Try IsoHunt or Mininova for a start

in jb hifi each season is selling for $114 now??

No way, they were about $25 only a month ago... new stock? Fuck knows. That's outrageous

Only show on TV that makes you feel smarter after watching.

hhmm - i worry that people think that west wing is somehow based in reality but i haven't seen any satanic circle dances and secret hand shakes so far...

Based in reality? No, it's the fantasy presidency of the writers, obviously. It surely hasn't escaped anyone's notice that for the whole period of Bartlett's presidency, George W has been in the Whitehouse?

It's quite funny to watch the "Democrat" way of dealing with things as opposed to how it actually happened.

i was thinking more about joe public america than all the smart chats here....

aaaah. acquired season 1-6 on the weekend. have already watched through to half-way through season two. dear god it's addictive. i love this show so much. i want to work in the fictional whitehouse!

I could sex on this show forever and ever and not get tired. ZOMFG!!!!

classy astral! who would be first?

sure it is fictional, but alot of the government and legal parameters discussed are for real. i'd rather people learnt about politics and law via west wing than shit like ally mcbeal or CSI

oyyeah - i so agree. plus, it is a show that can get people excited about politics, which is a positive in itself, because it means that they might be more likely to engage with their local political system.

well, in an ideal world anyway.

becuase josh doesn't practice/ go to temple

it is also mentioned a few times like when they are stuck on the election trail

yeah, it is definitely mentioned more than once, but josh is a non-practicing jew, unlike toby.

I thought I had missed something like him finding out he is adopted and is in fact a gentile like in that curb your enthusiasm episode.

plus, it is a show that can get people excited about politics

oh, totally. I've become much more motivated to read more about the US political system, rather than just the stories that come out of it.

Any my other half is now totally pumped about US politics. I never expected he'd get so into WW. I also credit this to Josh and Toby.

yes, it was great. i was at a party on the weekend, and they were all at various stages of ww obsessiveness. some were still new to the show, and only up to about season 3. some had been through the series once. some, like me, are up to their third/fourth viewing.

it was awesome and nerdy.

the os version has heaps of cool extras whereas the region 4 has NONE

yes, i love josh and toby. though i've only seen (most of 6 & 7). looking forward to going way back to the start.

oh, and margaret! so rad!

and apologies for the above bracket spazzness.

mellygoround said 28 days ago: i love toby too. but i wouldn't do him. i'd do sam in a second.

You wouldn't sleep with Toby? That is so bizarre to me. He is so intense and smart and noble. I love him in my body parts.

the os version has heaps of cool extras whereas the region 4 has NONE

i've been watching it from the US 'folio' version with all seven seasons in one pack. each season has it's own folder while files away. I haven't paid much attention to the extras, but we've only got about 3 eps of season 7 left, so perhaps I'll duck into those once we're finished.

oh, and margaret! so rad!

yes! she is the best! the hottest ranga around. so detail-oriented and idiosyncratic. and all with super hot red hair.

also, how awesome was her mystery pregnancy, where it was referenced once, and then never again...

the hottest ranga around.

no way. what about andy? she is damned spunky.

as is mallory!

in fact, it's a show full of hot rangas.

i've started watching Studio 60 - the aaron sorkin postWW show with Josh, Matthew Perry and Danny

it's all very west wing-esque - but set in a saturday night live type show - but doesn't have quite the knockout punches that west wing had

also kind of annoying that josh is josh even when he's not being josh... if you know what i mean...

also, how awesome was her mystery pregnancy, where it was referenced once, and then never again

bruno was rumoured to be the father because he gave her a bracelet or something one episode.

i fear that once i finish these last couple of episodes I will become ensconced in the internet chatter about WW, especially when it comes to tidbits like this Bruno rumour!!

bruno's hair in season 7 is the pits. i guess that kind of makes him the anti-margaret in a way.

The creator of US TV drama The West Wing, Aaron Sorkin, is making a film about the controversial origins of Facebook.

Hit season 7 very hard yesterday. 7 episodes..what a show, and quite relevant to today

some parallels

fuck it
