i challenge you to find any liberally minded american in their 20s/30s for whom "the west wing" wasn't central to their political development

What do I win?

[nesmith]

Do I get runner-up since I probably saw five minutes of one episode once and it was only because my father dragged me in the tv room?

[yeats]

:( i'll take it out if it's distracting people from the article at hand, but it seemed like such a truism for basically everyone i've met in young (democratic) political circles.

I can't participate 'cause i'm 15 years too old? That's what dl's are for....

[elialshadowpine]

Oh lmao... I read that as "15 years old"... GG brain. I was seriously like, WAIT WTF. LOL

[tabaqui]

HA!
Oh, man.
That would be my daughter.

Don't feel bad. Even after I read this comment, I had to read her comment like 3 or 4 times before I could see what it actually said.

[archanglrobriel]

Yeah, I heard it was good and kept trying to watch it, but I missed the first few episodes and never picked it back up. I keep thinking I'll be able to find it at Blockbuster or something but thus far it's not been there. So...I'm older than the target, but yeah. Never saw it.

[devour_theflesh]

I'm with you. I think I've seen PART of an episode once.

[elialshadowpine]

Yup, never watched it myself either.

[quizzicalsphinx]

I live under a rock. My rock has no cable hook-up.

[illusivevenstar]

Yep. I've never seen it.

IKR? I watched the first couple seasons cause my roommate had the DVDs and I enjoyed it, but I was already a pretty fucking committed liberal before then. the show didn't exactly do much for my politics.

Having never seen ONE.SINGLE.EPISODE.EVER.....

[mhael]

I'll hold my hand up for that question, as well.....

Socialist here, never seen an episode of TWW. In fact, other than How I Met Your Mother, I don't watch network TV, period.
