The scene at some ball where they agree to not talk and just stand there taking turns eyeing each other to the tune of "Take Five" is awesome.

CanOfMDAmp posted:Maybe I'm just thick and missed a running joke but this scene has been brought up drat near every page. It's a funny joke and the timing and delivery are basically perfect. That gag belongs in a physical comedy textbook. withak fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Jul 12, 2012 |

I always thought that The Jackal was the kind of thing that wasn't that great by itself, but was the kind of thing where everyone who was there the first time she did it loves it because of the association with whatever the circumstances of that first time were and everyone else just goes along with those people because it is fun. I always figured that the newer staffers in that scene would have been just as  as the viewers were.

McNally posted:I'm watching Season 3 episode Stirred and Bartlet is helping Charlie with his taxes and there's a line that strikes me. I think the context implied that it was $35k before taxes, so he probably took home something around $25k. He probably made relatively little compared to everyone else who works around the president (with all of their education and years of experience), but for someone with no college degree, no technical training, and basically no experience it seems about right. I suppose it could be on the low side considering the hours though. withak fucked around with this message at 19:39 on Dec 29, 2013 |

It is possible that the writers took some poetic license.

Alan Alda could probably work around even Sorkin's writing of republican characters and get an Emmy.

An article with a bunch of interesting interview snippets.quote:WHITFORD: The hours on that show were so bad. I mean, just horrible. I remember going to Tommy and saying to him, "The invisible carnage of the unf—ed wives and the children not being read to is just wafting out." quote:SCHIFF: I pitched an idea to both to them: "You know what would be amazing? If we lost [the election]. Just imagine. No one would be expecting it. We would lose and we're gone. That's the end of it." Tommy said that was actually an amazing idea but the network and studio would never go for it because they have to make their money back. quote:WHITFORD: Josh was the perverse one on set. He'd set everybody's iPod to Mandarin, or you'd be reading a book on set and the last four pages are torn out. And he had no sense of proportion. One day I am doing a scene and there's a big crowd of people and Jimmy Smits comes over and he hugs me and goes, "I love you too, man. And those flowers were amazing and the letter means so much to me." Josh had snuck into my trailer, gotten my stationary and written a vaguely homoerotic thing to Jimmy about working together.

Part of the change early on may be that Bartlett was originally intended to be kind of a side character. Then Martin Sheen went over really well with audiences so they decided to write him in more.

Most depressing thing I learned from that article: There exists a VHS tape of Dule Hill tap dancing to music improvised by Yo Yo Ma and it will probably never be on youtube. :-/

I don't remember Bartlett being bad at names as a running joke. It would be a weird problem for a politician to have. Ed and Larry are a special case where no one being able to remember which is which is a running joke. withak fucked around with this message at 18:50 on Oct 15, 2014 |

Hoops posted:Has anyone watched Designated Survivor? I just checked out the first two episodes and unfortunately it's pretty bad. It's not unwatchable or anything, but the tone and emotion of almost every scene doesn't fit at all with the circumstances. Everyone in the US government gets blown up and the show seems to forget about it half the time even though it's only 2 episodes in. It sounds exactly like the Tom Clancy book where Jack Ryan gets to be president after a treacherous Jap crashes a jet airliner into the rest of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, killing them all.
