A Great TV Show and An Impressive DVD Collection
January 7, 2009
I was always a big fan of "The West Wing" and had been waiting for the DVD collection of the series to come out. The price, however, proved to be prohibitive ($200 plus dollars). Thanks to the great deals on Amazon on Cyber Monday, I was able to purchased the series for about half the price. The box set is, to say the least, sturdy in its construction. The design is attractive - a nice shade of blue that does not scratch easily. Finally, the shows are great - it's nice to be able to see the changes in the characters over time.
If I have any complaint, it would have to be that the Special Features are a little light for such a large collection. The normal extras such as director and writer commentary are there but no real surprises - like how much the just ended Presidential race mirrored the series (Santos = Obama, Vinick = McCain).
Overall, a great purchase.
Great Collectors Item

My family had recently watch season 1 of West Wing, renting it through Blockbuster video. We tried in vain to find season 2 of West Wing to rent, so we decided to buy the series. It was on sale through Amazon at $15 per season right before Christmas, in individual boxed seasons. My wife then found this collectors set with all 7 seasons in one nice package. We have been EXTREMELY pleased with the quality and features of the set. Each season comes packaged in its own fold out sleeve or divider, with a bonus disc at the end giving details about the show and certain episodes. There also is a book depicting what is on each season and on each disc, a brief TV Guide synopsis so to speak. There also is a booklet containing information about the show, each character and various other interesting information. All-in-all, you get much more detail and information with the collectors set versus individual season boxes. I love it and if you are a West Wing fan as we are, you should absolutely buy this.
The West Wing - Complete Series

For anyone with a desire to learn about politics in this country or in the workings of our Republic; I would highly recommend this series.
I was unable to watch most of the series when it first aired because of the late time spot it had. I was working at the time and had to leave very early in the morning. But I have completely enjoyed this opportunity to watch the series in order and several episodes at a time.
For a seven year superb series I think the price is quite reasonable.

My wife is a long time fan of THE WEST WING. She absolutely loves this set of DVDs. During the show's 7 year run, she occasionally missed an episode. Now she watches them all at her own pace. The boxed set includes comments by Aaron Sorkin and summaries of each episode.
