5.0 out of 5 stars Very good once again...., Jan 25 2004
This review is from: The West Wing Seasons 3 & 4: The Shooting Scripts (Hardcover)
If you've read the first TWW script book (also very good), you know that this one has a very high reputation to uphold, one it delivers on wonderfully. It features:

Isaac and Ishmael - The post September 11th episode (Sorkin very
clearly explains also why he felt it had to be done)

Bartlet For America - Leo's hearing related to the MS

Posse Comitatus - Bartlet mulls over killing Sharref

20 Hours in America I and II - Toby, Josh and Donna get lost in Indiana and mull over what makes a president.

Holy Night - Toby is visited by his father, former employee of Murder Inc.

Commencement - The first daughter is kidnapped right after graduation

25- After Commencement, Bartlet relinquishes power (Sorkin's last episode)
---
Volumes could be written on the elequence of Aaron Sorkin, and these episodes serve as 8 prime examples. The book includes many scenes cut or shortened in the aired episodes, allowing even more Sorkin goodness then you knew existed. In the introductions, Sorkin talks frankly about his drug arrest, the Isaac and Ishmael contreversy and Rob Lowe's departure from the show. The intros are full of the same sardonic self-deprecating, even sometimes serious words we've come to expect from Aaron Sorkin. A definate must have for the West Wing fan, the budding scriptwriter, the writing fan, and just the public at large.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another win for 'The West Wing.', Aug 17 2004
By MAB - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The West Wing Seasons 3 & 4: The Shooting Scripts (Paperback)
"The West Wing Seasons 3 & 4" is a must for fans of this show. With eight scripts accumulated from the third and fourth seasons, not to mention black and white photos from the set, the biggest fan of the show will be in paradise. If the pace of the show is too fast for you, reading it at your own speed will clarify what went on in the episode. If you own "The West Wing Script Book" then you must get this with it. I recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's the Words First!, Jan 24 2008

This review is from: The West Wing Seasons 3 & 4: The Shooting Scripts (Paperback)
It begins with the idea, the vision, then the words go down on paper. Without the words, all an actor can do is stand there and emote, maybe. Without the words, all the crew can do is sit around and play with their equipment and watch the money fly away. Without the words, the studio has nothing to offer. It's the words first. Always.

This is an easy review, a simple review.
Buy this book to see how the words made the show.
Buy this book to see how a television script looks.
Buy this book to read excellent television scripts that became excellent television in the hands of a cast and crew of talented people.
Buy this book to get a taste of the wider political times out of which the series came and to which the series spoke volumes. It is all here in the words.

This is as good as a Master's Class in writing screen plays. Style, form, manuscript format, plot, character, how the background of the set can become a character itself, how the sum of the parts can definitely become greater than the whole. Great companion to the DVDs. Read the script first then watch the show. Then watch the episodes with the script at hand to see what went up on the screen. Annotate your copy, make notes, study and there's your class.

Tuition? $13.57 plus shipping (or not - could be free.)

Enjoy. It's the Words first.
