Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness

Which is the best TV show ever?

Without a moment's hesitation, I would argue that it is The West Wing (buy all 6720 minutes of it here for the unbelievably low price of £49.99). Outstanding value.

I cannot recommend this show enough. You need not be interested in American politics (but I am, which made it that much more enjoyable), but the scripting, the casting, the pace, the wealth of issues covered, and just the way that every element of the show fits together to make a complete whole surpasses the quality of anything else that has been on TV ever. Fact. Not even worth debating.
