The West Wing was satisfying because for most of its run the very opposite of Jed Bartlett was in the real West Wing. Now we don't need the fantasy, unless the heroic liberal president in a new show will whip out a light saber and duel with Glenn Beck.

Linda Bloodworth and HarryThomason tried something kind of similar around the beginning of the Clinton administration, but by the third season, the three stars had moved to Arkansas to run a newspaper.

@ampersandparade:
That website is little dizzying, but thanks.

Oh, and you want to know something kind of funny? I haven't watched Hearts Afire since it first aired, but I've referenced it when talking about Billy Bob and included it in a blogpost almost three years ago, when I was paying tribute to Conchata Ferrell.

So, yeah, it ended-up being a better show at the end than it was in the beginning, once they had left the politics behind, but obviously, it still made some kind of impression on me.

Following the approach of her site, I suppose all she has to do is cobble together a script from other sources.

How about a Hung spinoff? Apparently the dicks are big and swinging in the D.C.
