10 Unforgettable Moments | The West Wing

I am a Disabled Veteran. My brother died a homeless Veteran on the streets of Denver. He has a sponsor who made sure he was given a proper Veteran's burial and recognition. This is very special to me.

[@ThePrader]

As a former US Naval officer, a now retired lawyer, a former prosecutor, a retired college instructor that taught college courses on the US Constitution and the History of our government, I can say with total confidence that The West Wing is the finest TV program we have ever or will ever have . The best.

[@e.s.5529]

too bad our government left or right doesn't behave anything close to this, this is fantasy land . I used to be a huge fan but now I see all the times during the show how they tried to make the Republicans, theologians, and others look like they were stupid and horrible people while at the same time portraying Democrats as intelligent, peaceful. and morally superior. Ironically this was the era of Bill Clinton and the White Water scandal, people supposedly committing suicide who were witnesses, Bill doing certain things with cigars with Monica and later paying off other woman who we know he sexually assaulted.

Personally, I would have said the part of the 8th moment where Tobey, Josh, and Donna are stuck in the bar in Indiana was when Tobey was talking to the man at the bar and the man describes all the issues he's facing and what he wishes it was like to put a kid through college and Tobey introduces himself and what he does and talks more to the man. That was the unforgettable part of that episode for me.

[@MusicGunn]

As I remember it, Toby had lost a bet to Josh and he was required to introduce himself in the very high brow manner that he worked in the White House. As the guy spoke to Toby, Toby looked over to Josh and Josh indicted he should NOT do that, but Toby did anyway. Wouldn't it be great if politicians really acted that way in real life.

Any list of unforgettable West Wing moments that doesn't include Bartlet giving Charlie his family's carving knife made by Paul Revere is incomplete.

Not having Charlie included in any of these seems a glaring omission. I would include either the one where Bartlet walks through the rain to announce that he is running for reelection, and because the President doesn't wear a coat, Charlie takes his off. Or, better yet, include the scene with Bartlet and Charlie looking for a new carving knife because Bartlet was giving his Paul Revere knife to Charlie.

[@ruthfurtado1027]

Yes, I agree that scene should most certainly have been included. It underscores the relationship between Charlie and the president and the great respect each has for the other. I especially loved the look on Charlie's face when the president tells him that the knife he's being presented with was made by Paul Revere.

I wish this included Sam's monologue from Somebody’s Going to Emergency, Somebody’s Going to Jail (S2E16): “It was high treason, and it mattered a great deal. This country is an idea, and one that's lit the world for two centuries and treason against that idea is not just a crime against the living. This ground holds the graves of people who died for it, who gave what Lincoln called the last full measure of devotion, of fidelity.” Although it's only a moment between him and Donna, the acting was unlike anything I've ever seen. Only the passion and raw emotion that Rob Lowe conveys with every syllable emphasizes the larger picture of why everyone is there in the first place. In this idealistic, created world, this team, these people, want to "do what is hard" and "achieve what is great."

What’s next?

[@kylejohnson6867]

At moments like we find ourselves in, I think of what my parents taught me: "The President is everyone's President, even those people who didn't vote for him." They taught me to pray for him that he may guide our country with wisdom for the coming 4 years, because that is what the majority of our fellow citizens decided upon in the last election. No whining about a stolen election or complaining about a rigged system, what matters now is the example I set for my students as I support a man I didn't vote for, yet work hard to hold him and his administrations accountable for their actions. This is what it means to be part of democracy - you support the individual with the greatest number of votes. If I don't like that, I need to find somewhere else to live. We must learn to work with one another and listen to one another, even when we feel no one is listening to us. I also want to add, our government is filled with dedicated and patriotic individuals who work tirelessly to ensure everything works as it should. There are no scheming cabalas of partisan hacks working to destroy the country. We see what we look for, so if you do see these scheming cabals, I recommend taking a good hard look in the mirror of reality. These public servants work hard to make sure everything we've never even thought of, works as it should. They are responsible for so many things it is easy to point out what they may get wrong. But instead of pointing out what is wrong, next time try pointing out everything that is working because of them, you'll be surprised which list is longer. Ainsley Hays says it best, and I paraphrase, "You can argue that their ideas are wrong. You can say they haven't thought through the consequences of their actions. We may disagree on how to provide for our fellow citizens. But don't you dare call them stupid or ignorant because they are patriotic Americans just like you and I, and they happen to be my co-workers." (I know I butchered that monologue but you get the idea). Now is when we must demonstrate everything we have been saying is important for the last four years.

It's a pretty good list. I don't agree with some of them, but there were so many great scenes, impossible to come up with a definitive 10. The funeral scene in In Excelsis Deo is probably in 99% of everyone's top 10 list. Same with Two Cathedrals. I love Ainsley beating up on Sam. Other great scenes that could be in anyone's Top 10 list: Root Canal with CJ, Sam Seaborn at the beginning of Galileo, Lionel Tribey and Ainsley discussing Gilbert and Sullivan, Ainsley reversing Sam's position, CJ shooting with Simon Donovan (Mark Harmon). Bartlett's speech at the beginning of 20 Hours in America regarding the bomb at Kennison State just to name a few.

There are far too many wonderful scenes from this program. I might have chosen some others, but I think it's impossible to choose simply 10.
