2 Views on the Best of the Best

 

A few months ago, TV sites around the internet were posting lists of their favourite moments and episodes from arguably the greatest series of all time, The West Wing. So, as one of the series’ biggest fans, I thought it’d be fun to not only make my list but to ask the other West Wing fantatics in my life to make their lists as well. But after months of waiting, only 1 of them actually bothered, so I have only their list and mine. But here they are in any case, in all their nostalgic glory, 2 perspectives on television history (but Im not going to tell you which is which, it’s part of the fun!) Enjoy.
