so, about the west wing...

President Santos, come on down!

No way does Vinnick win this. If they were going to cancel the show, they would have done it after the first ep of season five and spared the diehards the cluster they got with the rest of that. S6 was better, but still not up to the Sorkin days. Dammit.

If Vinnick wins they'll have to cancel TWW, repackage it and bring it out under a different title. What viewers they may pick up in the shuffle won't overcome the loss of the fans who won't follow a whole new crew into a new show. (Me. Everyone else I know IRL who watches the show.)

Besides, Alan Alda has said repeatedly - even a few months ago - that he will never do another TV series. This means cameos only for the new prez, leaving the bulk of avx airtime to his staff.

Uh, anybody know anything about his staff?

Anybody care?

I'm excited for the new season, if only for my beloved Bradley Whitford. *swoon*

ok, lizaveta. that's cool... i appreciate your logic.

one question though... will you be joining SW and ricwilly in streaking HT if/when vinnick wins?

You bet, baby, cuz I can't wait to see YOU streakin' by!

so really this is a no-win situation for you then, huh.

If it isn't win-win, I don't play! One of us is going to be nekkid.

I'm good with that.

As long as it's you.

you have no clue what you're in for... if i have to streak HT, that is. better wear your welding helmet or equivalent protective eye-wear.

i suppose it could be risky to have a whole new crew, but i have to disagree that it would require repackaging/renaming the show. many shows (except sticoms) have complete cast changes during their lives. ER comes to mind and even M*A*S*H only held two characters from beginning to end.

Besides, Alan Alda has said repeatedly - even a few months ago - that he will never do another TV series.

you don't think he'd blow the whistle, do you? lol. it's one of the best kept secrets in tv... even better than survivor results (which, again, you can find at my blog [/shameless plug]).

we'll see, liza... we'll see.

 

[silverwhisper]

o, come on, EJ: no show has ever wholesale changed casts in a big bang like you're suggesting. ER and MASH added/lost actors one at a time over the course of the seasons, like most shows, even the west wing: mrs. laningham, fitz, sam seaborne...now you're just being silly.

ok. ok. i'll stop beating my drum on this point.

we'll just figure it all out when we learn who's gonna be nekkid and who's not. and btw... where in the blue hell is ricwilly?

a-ha! see, that's your problem: you're looking in blue hell, but maybe he's in a differently-hued hell? :>

heh... i don't know that working out will have much to do with this bet we have. i'm more worried about whether or not my vacu-jack will be back from the repair shop in time.

i'm ready to PUMP *claps* my cock up... and boy will it need it.

somehow i can picture you sitting in a lawn chair or on a beach towel in front of your PC... a cooler of smirnoff ice by your side... your eyes riveted on the monitor and your family walking past from time to time, wondering what's goin' on with moms.
