farewell to the West Wing

so, to nobody's surprise, I suspect, here's the confirmation from the Washington Post that series 7 will be the last.

[don't read the link if you haven't caught up with series 6 - there be some mild spoilers there]

I think it's as well - although Sorkin didn't set out for it to be that way, it was about Barlet's presidency just as much as his staff, and for me it simply wouldn't work with another president.

I loved the show, thought it was excellent, and agree that it will be time to go. It was an excellent series!

Besides, US TV already *has* another president: Geena Davis, playing Mackenzie S. Allen, the US's first female president, in Commander in Chief.

ONe wonders whether having two ficitious presidents signifies a lack of faith in the real one...

I must admit I always saw it ending with Bartlet's presidency. I will be sorry to see it go but the inauguration of the next President is where I thought it would end so in a way I'm ready for it to happen.
