A change of tone, but still must-see television September 13, 2007
I admit that the Season 3 is where I lost track of the show. The debut episode, 'Manchester', marked a change in tone for the entire series. It's obvious that 9/11 changed the West Wing in a fundamental way. There's considerably less incidental music from "Snuffy" Walden. The attitude of the characters is far grimmer. More attention is placed on Middle Eastern politics and terrorism, and less to domestic political problems.

We're also introducted to the much vilified Amy Gardner, played by Mary Louise-Parker. As I was heavily influenced by fan reaction rather than actually watching the show, I hated this character. But now that I've actually watched the show, I really like Amy. She's a perfect match for Josh, and her relationship with him is realistic and just downright charming. Which reminds me, I've gotta catch Mary Louise-Parker in Weeds.

Another character that I think gets plenty of attention this season is Donna. She no longer has the outwardly ditzy persona of seasons 1 and 2. Instead, she gets to handle a scandalous relationship with a Republican lawyer. And she gets a lucrative job offer. She becomes more aware of her own self-worth this season, and it's wonderful to see Donna maturing and growing before our very eyes.

The only genuine clanger this season is President Bartlet's "psychological problems" that are explored in 'The Two Bartlets' and 'Night Five'. What's odd is that the President has never exhibited any of these symptoms before .

In summary, this season marks a huge sea-change for The West Wing. Gone is the bright, cheery optimism of the first two seasons. The events of 9/11 put an end to that. But this is still The West Wing. And these are still the characters we know and love, written by one of America's greatest playwrights. Buy this boxset - you won't regret it.

I'd rate it 10 stars but 5 is the most Amazon offers January 4, 2007
Awesome, superb, flawless, brilliant ... the English language is a wonderful thing but it does not have enough superlatives to describe the masterpiece that is The West Wing. Anyone remotely interested in poltics and public policy must watch this. Watching it over and over again is a guilty pleasure and so much more worthwhile than all those Star Trek re-runs (sorry Klingon dudes, it's true). The West Wing has seven series in all and they are all highly recommended.

The West Wing Series Facinates And Challenges January 4, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I find the West Wing series to be excellent for the mind. It has a wonderful blend of many inspiring topics including politics, intrigue,
posturing, cleverness, romance, nostalgia, desire, ego and friendship
with respect. I find myself daydreaming that the series is reality and
I wish it was. It takes me away from the horrible realities of the real
world and makes me for a moment believe that the world is not as dark
as it appears to be to me.

The Third season was The West Wing at it's best. Intricately woven story arcs and a set of characters fleshed out with love and honesty. Seasons 1 and 2 were great because of the earnestness of the writing, directing and acting. Everyone gave it a little extra. By season 3 we began to anticipate the characters and their actions. But instead of simply complying in character, they breathed new vitality. Donna became more than an assistant with Sexual Tension growing between her and Josh. Toby and his inner demons were realized. This is simply the best written and realized TV program in many years and belongs in the Pantheon of All Time Great TV programs.
