Love the show and the dvd set is in perfect condition. Cannot find even one thing bad about this set.

I am hooked. Finished season 2 and have ordered season 3 and 4. Something for everyone, serious but good laughs too.

My husband and I will really enjoy watching this series. For me, it will be the second time as I watched it on TV but my husband missed it and I know he's going to enjoy it as much as I'll enjoy watching it again with him!

I bought season 2 for 14.99. Yep... great deal, but side 2 of disc one was defective. Sadly, I didn't get around to watching this for over 30 days after I got the set... so... I could only watch episode 7 starting from the halfway point. kind of a bummer. Otherwise... GREAT SHOW... cruddy return policy.

The Close Captioning still fails to actually accurately reflect what was said in the show. The bonus features and commentaries are from two years after the fact (just like Seasons 1 and 3). Also, the DVDs are double-sided.

Still love the show though.

Been a fan of The West Wing since the first season. I have been waiting for second one to come out. The West Wing has some of the best writing and acting on television - I would say the show is to drama television as Friends is to sitcoms. I absolutely recommend getting The West Wing - The Complete Second Season, as well as The West Wing - The Complete First Season. They're well-worth the money.

Sadly, this DVD does not do the 2nd season justice. The extras are almost non-existant. A few commentaries and a "virtual set tour" result in far less than half the extras the Season 1 DVD had. Still, at 40 bucks its a good deal, just not a complete steal like Season 1 (even though this season was vastly superior).

See my review of the first season. My politics lean towards conservative more than liberal. And I don't really care for Martin Sheen that much. At least I didn't before watching this series.

Still, this is GREAT TV. In fact, it is a great show regardless of the venue.

The second season is even better than the first. If you want a show that will make you laugh, make you cry and make you feel good that you are an American try this one.

You just have to see it to appreciate what I am saying.

This is one of the very few movies that I would consider buying so that I could watch it again and again.

"The West Wing" (or "The Left Wing" as us conservatrives call it) is a brilliant piece of work, well written and very well acted. For political junkies, it is Manna from Heaven. Aaron Sorkin is a dedicated Democrat, as is the star's show, Martin Sheen. It is a show that attempts to make Democrats look like idealistic, well meaning, courageous, 24/7 workaholics. These people do exist, but in light of the recent death of Ronald Reagan and the new Bill Clinton book, it is instructive to recall that this show, along with "The American President", was an attempt to disuade the public from the realities of the Clinton Presidency. If the Democrats were all like the ones shown in "The West Wing", they would get 90 percent of the vote.

Th show does try to stay balanced on occasion, but a comparison between President Bartlett and his wife and Bill and Hillary Clinton provides a dose of reality that is not of help to Clinton apologists.
