I will admit that I am an avid viewer of this program. Probably because I consider myself to be an above adverage political enthusiast and maybe a tad bit because I'm a Democrat, however far be it for me to suggest that Republicans wouldn't enjoy the dialog.
So season after season I've followed the decisions made by this President who's mantra is one of liberal eastern philosophy that the voice of one man rings as loudly as the masses. But now we have the 6th Season and his long trusted friend has suffered a heart attack which has rendered him incapable of maintaining his position as Chief of Staff. And the decision was made to replace him with the White House Press Secretary. For me, this isn't working as it should. The ambiance in the Oval Office has significantly changed. And with that there is a realization of true life as it should be, that all things must change but there was something special between Jed & Leo. That was a story in itself that these two Statesmen were brothers underneath it all. C.J. doesn't create that same atmosphere and for her, it is just another job that she is determined to do well. But where's the story? I don't see a story with Jed & C.J. and to make matters worse, the Writers took even a bolder step in attempting to remove Charlie from his position as the President's personal assistant. So they speak of the new guy in that position but they don't show him because they know as well as I do that they've made a big mistake in the changes that were implemented. So I conclude that 'The West Wing' is singing its' Swan Song and we will not see a 7th Season.
