The left side is straight out of a Sears catalogue, while the right side is just insanity. Who's the guy with the wig? What's with the kid? Why does John Spencer look like Janel just shoved something up his butt.

One thing I just noticed that kinda bugs me in S04E11 Holy Night when Josh and CJ talk about the Danny story. Josh completely lays out the entire plot without actually having any way of knowing what happened. It threw me off a little bit to hear him blindly call exactly what happened when they spent so long on keeping the details such a secret.

From memory at some point off screen Leo and the President start telling people, so I assumed that they'd just told them everything. I may be miss remembering, however.

Hey, I just watched the Our Nixon documentary, and pretty early on Nixon is talking to a secret service guy about the tape recorders, and the agent's name is Butterfield. That's gotta be on purpose right? It's not like the guy's name is Johnson, Martin or Williams.

So he was an older more experienced (went to college with Nixon) 6th and 7th season Charlie.

I know this was sold to Rob Lowe as the Rob Lowe show, but from early on it's been much more of the Bradley Whitford show. He's the only person whose assistant is in the main cast, he's the one that talks to an auditorium of students while Mendoza is in jail, and we see the beginning of the Bartlett campaign through his eyes in the season 2 opening.

I came to that same conclusion myself. So did the writers, honestly. I think Rob Lowe got fit to a character that Rob Lowe could play masterfully: Sam is youthful, charismatic, and sort of silly. But those traits don't peg him as a kingmaker. Rob Lowe makes an excellent assistant to the Whitehouse director of communications, but ultimately, the assistant the Whitehouse director of communications does not move plots.

I agree this was very much the Bradley Whitford show. As far as I know the Donna situation was a happy accident though, she was not billed as part of the main cast throughout the whole first season. That said the writers obviously realized that there was some mad chemistry between Whitford and Moloney pretty early on, which is why she seems to be part of the main cast even then.

Wasn't it primarily a money issue though? Not saying they're not related, but I thought that Rob Lowe took a much smaller salary than he used to get because he liked the show. After four seasons, the network refused to increase it, and he left.

Though in the pilot (which we knew was planned to be more about the cast) we open with Sam, the main plot is not only around Sam, but Sam's lovelife, which is pretty much always how the 'lead guy' is set out. Then Bartlett went and owned so much fundamentalist rear end he took the role; they realised what they had and ran with it. That's how I've always seen it, anyway.

When it came time to renegotiate contracts everyone was bumped up to match the direction the show took but Lowe still wanted to make proportionally more.

The pilot would not have gotten made with out Rob Lowe attached. Martin Sheen came because Rob Lowe was a family friend and made the connection. Everyone else was paid less because they were unknown stage actors and renegotiated to a salary higher than his. Lowe put all this in print in his autobiography, and he was classy about it then and in the book.

We are midway through season 5, just watched the episode where President Lassiter dies. I've been amazed how themes keep coming around in real life almost 10 years later; the budget crisis and shutdown, arab spring-like protests, discussions about propping up monarchies.

The AV club has one going for the west wing as well.
