DVD : The West Wing - The Complete First Season

Rating: - Buyer Beware, Faulty Disks!
This is an EXCELLENT SERIES! Like others I absolutely recommend purchasing any of the series. However, I wanted to offer a warning.

I have all of the seasons. I received them all from Amazon (most were Christmas gifts).

4 of the sets had defective disks. There would be at least one episode that you could not play without it skipping. Please make sure you watch the episodes completely within the 30 return period to be sure that there are no defective disks. Amazon is very good about replacing the set if there are defects but there is a time limit. It is hard to get through 20+ hours of tv watching in 30 days!

Also- Sets 1-3 (and maybe 4) have programming on both sides of the disks. Seasons 1 & 2 are my favorites and have been watched many times. Over time the disks seem to "split" in the center and skipping occurs now throughout the programming. There are no scratches on the disks and the skipping is inconsistant (always happens on the disks now, but not always in the same place).

This issue does not seem to occur with the later sets (programming only on one side). There is no way to replace the disks once this starts happening. If you have a way to "backup" the first few sets I would recommend it if you plan to watch them often. Not an issue if you are only likely to watch them once.

Rating: - Best drama ever made for TV
Every episode of the first four seasons is made like a motion picture, often with a very touching end. Sorking left after the fourth season, but the show still managed to stay on track and after a mediocre fifth season returned with superb episodes in the second half of the sixth and complete seventh seasons.

Rating: - Great Show, Sensational Writing
I have adored West Wing since it first aired, this Original Season shapes your favorite characters and lays the foundation for the whole of the series. The best writing on TV in a long time, and with its pithy characters, rapidfire dialog and tons and tons of heart, spirit and verve. This show stands above so many others.

Rating: - Great Show!
This is a GREAT show! Finally something good on TV that avoids all the unneeded drama all the other shows display. As someone who doesn't even follow politics, the show constantly holds my attention, to me that's an A+. Also, I really appreciate the lack of foul language, sex, and dirty humor... once again, GREAT show!
