What's Next?

After seven seasons, 24 Emmys and two TV Presidents The West Wing called it quits last night. The series finale was comforting and moving, if predictable. I'm not complaining, mind you. I quite like predictable. I was pleased with the pace the show took the last few weeks, tying up loose ends and giving the characters that we've grown to love the time to have meaningful endings. The show was never really "the same" after Aaron Sorkin left, but that didn't stop it from being better than most of the other shows on television. I am thrilled to know that Toby was pardoned, that CJ, Danny, Josh and Donna have personal lives and that Santos will continue to govern fictional America with the same resolve that President Bartlet did. We don't really know what's next, but we can imagine that it would be great; filled with witty banter, high ideals and yes, lots and lots of pedeconferencing.

Your box sets for seasons 1-5 not quite filling the void that was left when the Bartlet's flew home? Check out this thorough and sort of kooky website:

Can't decide which character you're going to miss the most?

Take this quiz

And find out which West Wing character you are! Goofy? Hell, yeah. But whoever put this together was very clever with their approach and frankly, I'd like to know who I'm dealing with, so if any of my regular readers are so inclined, take the quiz and let me know. Who's out there?

If the name Chandler Bing means nothing to you, but the name Joe Quincy sets your heart a-racing...if you think that Aaron Sorkin's grocery list would be worth a read...if you live in Canada and didn't get to see the preview that aired for Studio 60 on Sunset Strip last night...here it is, courtesy of youtube!

That, my friends, is what's next.
