I loved this show so much. Missed it when it originally aired, but watched the first 2 seasons in just over 3 weeks. I couldn't wait to get to the rest that I bought the entire series on impulse and finished it all off in just under a month. This was probably my 2nd favorite network television show behind Lost. Just great character development and suspense, it really made me want to live in a world where Bartlett was the actual POTUS.

Ytadel posted:Anyone who loves this show but has NOT seen the 1995 Sorkin-scripted movie The American President should definitely check it out. It has an incredibly similar flavor to it, and even a lot of the same actors (including Martin Sheen in what's basically the role of Leo). This movie was my moms favorite and she always watched it when I was younger. So of course I had to watch it 10-20 times a year. Anyways, I remember reading somewhere that Sorkin's original script for that movie would have made it a 4 hour plus film, so someone gave him the idea of making a tv show after the movie. Also put me in the camp that loved the last half of season 6 and all of season 7. The campaign aspect of the show was really neat and made it seem fresh, which is hard for a show that is 7 seasons in.

Does anyone know what the writers original plans were for Annabeth/Leo before his untimely death had to be written into the show?

I find myself asking from time to time while watching the news, "What would Josiah Bartlett do?"
