This series is amazing. One of the best political dramas ever created. Martin Sheen plays an awesome president. But don't spend your money on this box set. At its current price tag, it is more thrifty to buy each season individually on Amazon. The box set is currently priced at $262.47. Buying the seasons individually will only cost $112.

If your a fan of this award-winning series, then this set should be a no brainer. Good extras, and the full series in one place.

This was my first Amazon purchase many years ago, and I'll say that I paid almost full price for it. I have now seen it on sale twice for under $100 and the only real question I have for people reading this review is: Why are you still thinking...Buy this already!

The West Wing is unquestionably one of the best shows ever on television, and while people have their own feelings about Sorkin (the creator/writer/producer of this show), the first 3 seasons of WW set a new standard for compelling drama on television.

If you even kind of like politics, if you've ever thought about the implications of voting for one presidential candidate over another, hell if you've ever voted, you should buy this and watch it all.

You'll thank me later.

I was really looking forward to this set - West Wing is by far one of the better programs ever to have appeared on TV. But this set has a lot of problems - specifically that crucial episodes are completely unwatchable due to manufacture defects on the discs (this includes the entire last disc of the first season meaning that the cliffhanger finale is something that you won't be able to watch). I haven't gone through all 54 discs yet, so I can't say for sure if it's only the 1st season that has these issues, but be aware of this before purchasing - it's a lot of money to spend on something that doesn't work.

If not for the problems with the discs, I would have given this set 5 of 5 stars. Really it's a shame.

First time I am watching this show and it is excellent! No problem with the DVDs. However, the box set is not of the best quality. When I received it, it was already unglued... And falling apart. Seems that other reviews about the poor quality of the DVDs or the boxes are accurate. But the series is riveting and helps forgetting the poor quality of the packaging. Happy viewing!

If only there were actual politicians like many of those portrayed in this series. Didn't really care for the last season, but then it was too close to how things really are, how self serving our political leaders are, and how it is not about them serving us, but them serving special interests, so they can stay in power. A really good series, that shows the differences, that once existed between the two major US political parties, that is long gone today. Sad but real.

The Westwing series is just as enthralling now as it was when I first watched the program. Immaculate, intrigueing and irresistible. We have to pry ourselves reluctantly away from the screen and from watching the whole series in one go. I think that says it all. The complete series is packaged perfectly and we really appreciate the booklets and the wonderful pictures therein. A great deal for the price.

The packaging of this series is well done. It is compact, yet easy to find the discs. My husband was very happy to get it from Santa.

The one thing that was a little annoying is that I ordered it in early December and amazon said they couldn't guarantee it's arrival if I went with the free shipping, so I ended up paying extra for shipping. It arrived 2 days later - I don't think it was necessary at all to pay extra. I kinda feel a like they took advantage. Oh well.

For everyone who did not see the series - a must
For everyone who saw the series - a must - after the first disc you are happy to see everyone again and realize how much you missed this show.
Excellent writting - witty- intellegent-touching

The packaging is impressive -well presented, official looking
a definite buy

Even though I am Canadain, this is one of my all-time favourite shows. So well acted. And I love ALL the characters.When I received this package, I watched 4 full seasons in 3 weeks! I have slowed it down now, as I don't want to get to the end!
