I’ve just sat through the very final episode of arguably the greatest drama to come out of America – The West Wing !! It has held us fans gripped for the last seven seasons and I for one will miss it. I can’t believe they can’t find a way to give Santos one season as Pres but hey you can’t have everything. Great writing for the last episode and included some touching moments including Sheen’s goodbye and thanks to Charlie, handing him a copy of the Constitution and unwrapping “Bartlet for America” from Leo’s daughter – befitting that it was the final scene of The West Wing.

I wonder what will happen to Martin Sheen now that he has retired to new Hampshire ? !!! One of my favourite scenes in the whole drama was the President calling a hotline asking how he should cook a turkey for Thanksgiving – classic and all from the Oval office ! One of the other momentful episodes had to be in response to 9/11 when the writers threw together at the last minute a programme in reaction to the terrorist attack in New York – the episode was called Isaac and Ishmael.

Thank you Mr President, it has been a pleasure to share the last seven seasons with you and your staff. You will be missed. I wonder what I’ll find to take its place or maybe i won’t bother looking and just start watching The West Wing from season 1 through to its conclusion on DVD !!!

One site I quite enjoyed when I stumbled across it today was Bartlet for America, it has a great one liner on there and certainly worth checking out if you haven’t already or indeed need a West Wing fix !
