THE
LOW DOWN
In
this final, seventh season,
it’s the end of one era and
the beginning of another as
President Josiah Bartlet (Martin
Sheen) prepares to pass down the
presidential torch and
Congressman Matthew Santos
(Jimmy Smits) and Senator Arnold
Vinick (Alan Alda) battle it out
on the campaign trail, both
hoping to become his successor.
This season is jam packed with
drama as it includes a live
debate, an election, a
transition and a final
performance by and remembrance
of the late John Spencer.

THE
VERDICT
Well
all good things must come to an
end and this seventh season
brings one of the sharpest and
cleverest TV shows on the box to
a close. One thing that has been
without question throughout the
whole run of this series is the
high level of quality and season
7 is no exception, obvious from
the fact that the season
garnered a massive 6 emmy
nominations including
Outstanding Drama Series,
Outstanding Lead Actor in a
Drama Series for Martin Sheen,
Outstanding Lead Actress in a
Drama Series for Allison Janney
and Outstanding Supporting Actor
in a Drama Series for Alan Alda
as well as over 20 Emmy awards
won throughout the course of the
show.

The
whole run of this seventh season
is geared to Bartlett finally
stepping down with much space
given over to the race between
the still got it Alan Alda's
Senator Vinick and Jimmy Smits'
Congressman Santos. It's good
when an American series actually
finishes properly rather than at
the whim of the ratings board
and this Warner's box set serves
as a fitting finale and souvenir
of a destined to be a classic
show.
THE
EXTRAS
Theres
a brilliant
Live
from the Director's Chair
-- A Multi-angle view from
the truck as the Director calls
the live show, this runs for the
whole length of an episode,
theres also the 25 minute Countdown
