meh
Teri Polo's character seems like Abby Jr so far.
I wonder with his show cancelled if they will bring John Goodman in since I believe I saw Walken's name on one of the jars.

Pretty good episode. I missed bits and pieces of it due to pre-empting. Can someone recap what happened when Josh and Donna were in the elevator together?

Haven't decided what to think of this episode, except that that is was a total John Wells ending.

I've just got back to watching this show because I like the addition of Jimmy Smits and the campaign/life of the road is more interesting than the white house stuff. Are they hinting at a cross-party ticket with Santos and the Alan Alda character? That would be a pretty interesting dynamic.

Maybe it was becasue I watched it at 2AM but I took it as a metaphor about Will's feeling about Bingo Bob based on the conversation Josh and him had a few episodes ago. He's not the candidate he wanted, but he's the candidate he's stuck with.

Besides, I've read a few interviews with Alda and he doesn't sound like he would want to do the show full time.

I liked the format of this ep, and no matter what problems WW has, you can't knock their production value, top notch as usual.
Why did they insist on inserting that shot of Toby on the TV at the end? To remind us we're watching a show that used to be about the WEST WING?

Personally I'd love it if Alda's character were elected. After several years with an "too good to be true" Democrat in the Oval Office I think it's time we had a "too good to be true" Republican.
I liked the way the episode was shot, but I'm getting tired of the Josh/Donna dance. Either do the deed or stop acting like they're about to do it.

considering how ever commecial for WW hypes "now that Alda and Smitts have joined teh cast of west wing..." it wouldn't surprise me, and I might actually like to see it. although I still want Gary Cole's character to win
those now that... commercials were funny when they had them for like 3 weeks and alda wasn't on any of those weeks

i didnt notice he got the wrong candy bar, but that would make sense. you can tell that will is starting to doubt his own candidate. last week asking leo what he saw in bob and this week its seems he's just going through the routine and doesnt feel like his candidate stands for anything. makes me wonder if will, josh and donna will be working together if what josh predicts comes true.

just watched this and thought eh. i MUCH prefer the west wing aspect of the show, hence the name. i do think that eventually will and donna will quit bingo bob and join up with josh, or at least donna will. this whole awkward thing they have going between them is kinda dumb i think. actually the whole way they have treated those two this year is lame. for the last 7 years they have been who each other relied on and now suddenly they are so awkward around each other. i'm not buying it. they seem to be thinking "hey we're going to get these two together by year's end so let's make them totally weird around each other to make it seem better when it finally happens!" grrreat strategy. please get us back to the white house.

Well, there's a lot of raw feelings about the way she left, which I find believable. I mean, she never could tell him directly (although she kept trying), and then, BAM, there's a new assistant there.
So I could see how they could both be uncomfortable with where the relationship is, especially when they both know there's something beyond a boss/assistant attraction there.

the thing is though, i don't buy the way she left. in the past if she had said that she needed to talk to josh, he never would have put if off for so long, especially when she made it clear it was so important.
