Best West Wing Episodes of All Time

Thoughts? Opinions? You already know what I think -- They left out "Noel," therefore this list is invalid. (However, I will admit that I completely agree with the top three.)

Television Without Pity posted their "Shows to Watch Before You Die" list on their blog yesterday.

Guess who made the list?!

I know everyone and their mother has posted this already, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to have a mustache-less Brad on my LJ.  YAY!

Actor Ron Silver has died of cancer at age 62.
