West Wing 11/14

In the episode tonight, please explain the reference to Oakenwood.

Toby mentioned it when they were debating what to do about funding for the arts.

Oakenwood was the name of the NEA chairman that the Republican lady wanted canned...

I loved CJ and the "I'm too Sexy" song... "So it's hyperbole? He's not saying it's a problem?"

No time for a wrap-up from me anyway, I'm going to bed... Maybe someone else can help out...

all in all, i thought that it was a pretty funny episode. that's not to say that there weren't some serious moments too but the comedy was more prevalent in this one. the bit between charlie and the president about marine one's rotor blades was priceless. also, oliver's line about women vs. nature was good too. once again, oliver platt does a great job in his limited role as white house counsel. every time he is on he does outstanding work. i was dissappointed that we didn't get to see josh til halfway through the hour but with a cast this big i guess we can't see everybody all the time. i am anxiously awaiting next week when bartlett calls the butterball hotline. man, sorkin is gonna have a field day with it.

In the previews it looks like the butterball hotline puts President Bartlett on hold there was a quick shot of him running back to his desk to talk to them when they finally picked up. It looks like it'll be a great episode.

This epsisode was pretty good and had more comedic moments than usual. Bartlett banging his head on his desk when Hal Holbrook was droning on was great.

I would have liked to see a little more with Josh and Donna but I guess they'll keep playing that out. From the little bit we did see it looked like Josh was still a little aggitated at her.

I would try but I wouldn't do it justice. The best place I have found for rundowns on this show is at MightyBigTV

For the record, I don't work for them or make a point of sending folks to sites other than DVDTalk, but th group on that board is religious about discussing episodes (Example: The discussion on this episode was 8 pages long as of 11AM Pacific today - Thursday). They are usually very complete in their episode coverage.

Over the years I have slowly become a fairly big fan of his.

I hope to see more of him.

Religious is a good word for them.
And complete isn't a strong enough word for it.

I got a headache last week trying to read through all 19 pages (more now I'm sure) on last week eps.

Do I smell Krispy Kreme on you breath????
