    A vote for Bottom

    * I loved the West Wing and that was a good episode, but if I was going to re-watch one it'd be Bottom for some anarchic madness in the Christmas spirit :)

    Seen neither.... I need to get around to watching the west wing, heard nothing but good things.

    West Wing... a great series though might seem a bit dated now.
    Went into a bit of a dip about season 4 but finished strongly.
    Filled in some gaps in my knowledge of US politics too around how the federal system works, cabinet government, nominating judges etc
    It's not all politics, some of the writing around the cast interactions is wonderful, especially Josh.

    But still no vote for it from me in this round !

    Only DvB and Jude voted for West Wing, so it only got 2 votes in total, sadly.

    I voted for Bottom but gave a general endorsement of The West Wing as a series... this may have confused things. But I think it was in the true spirit of The West Wing to do such a thing :)

    Even if it looks done and dusted until its called as such by the mods vote anyway... you never know and it can get confusing when scanning in a hurry.
