West Wing
I only watched "The West Wing" a few times, but found it pretentious and depicting more honor and decency than exists in the White House, regardless of who occupies it. I had a hard time accepting Martin Sheen as president, but an even harder time accepting Rob Lowe as an aide. He seems more real as an aide to Arnold Swarzenegger. Truth, though stranger than fiction, does better casting. Life imitating art can be great entertainment as well as tragedy.
"The West Wing" is still probably better than 99% of the shows out there. That still isn't good enough. I tend to watch only PBS, which, though a mixed bag, offers high quality drama and public affairs programming. Now, back to "Marley and me."
