The West Wing is one of the greatest television shows ever broadcast, and Season 3 is just the icing on the cake.

I just finished Season 3 on DVD and I was blown away. The finale was, if not better, than Two Cathedrals. I realize now that the West Wing doesn't have political drive after it, it is about the person. Now, as a GOP and Bush - voter, I do not exactly agree with everything presented, and it doesn't mean that I am happy with the real president either. President Josiah Bartlet, really, is too good to be true. Everything he does ends up to be for the better of the country. And just when we think that he could never be more perfect, he's brought down to our level with the cover up of MS and Dolores Landingham's death. I think (and wish) that if the character of Bartlet was real and running, I would cast my first ever presidential vote to the left.

The West Wing seems to get better with every season and is one of the few shows that I would be able to watch over and over again!

We pride ourselves in only watching television programs that significantly provide us with the opportunity to enjoy entertainments that require us to pay attention and be glad that we did. "The West Wing" is one of those programs.
 A slow start, but picks up great momentum as the season progresses August 22, 2005

The third season of the West Wing falters a little relative to the second and fourth seasons, but the worst West Wing episode is still better than most other TV shows. This season consists of 21 episodes in continuity, plus 2 "bonus" shows. The season opener (Isaac and Ishmael) is one of the bonus shows and is also one of the highlights of the series. It deals with the aftermath of September 11 (airing only a month after the fact) outside continuity of the show, but with everyone in character. The second special show is a documentary on the way government is run - it may be self-congratulatory, but it also assures the viewer that they are seeing a "truthful" representation of life in the West Wing. Also reassuring is the presence of 3 former presidents (Ford, Carter, and Clinton) in the special as well as numerous presidential aides (including notable Republicans Henry Kissinger and Karl Rove): even if you don't agree with the politics of the liberal/Democratic president of the show, thoughtful members of both parties like the show because it shows the president always trying to do what he feels is right. And that's what you need your elected leaders doing!
In between these two specials are the real, in continuity episodes. They are a mixed batch, in terms of how interesting they are, but generally improve as the weeks go on. The president accepts a congressional censure for hiding his medical condition after much angst and testimony from his staff. The re-election campaign kicks off and Gov. Ritchie appears as the Republican nominee. Meanwhile legislation is passed, the president vetoes a bill, and the cliffhanger ending sends reverberations through all of Season 4 and into Season 5. There is one unfortunate addition to the semi-regular cast - the feminist Amy Gardner who is as annoying as the late unlamented Mandy from season 1. For the most part, though, the supporting roles are great: the election spin-doctor Bruno, Leo's lawyer Jordan, Mark Harmon's secret service agent, and the first appearance of Adm. Fitzwallace (chair of the Joint Chiefs).
However, outside of the "23rd" (documentary) episode, the extras on this DVD are mainly disappointing. Not in quality (they are short, but enjoyable), but in quantity. There are only 3 commentaries (as oppposed to The Simpsons or Futurama, for example, which have commentaries on every episode). Finally, I will voice once again my main objection to the extras - why aren't there political scientists and/or politicians on commentaries explaining the actual governmental workings? For example, on the episode where Bartlet vetoes the bill (Ways and Means), or one with the senate hearings (Bartlet for America), or how the primary system works (Hartsfield's Landing).
