The West Wing ( 1999-2006 ) was an hour long drama that focused on the daily life of senior staffers working under President Josiah Bartlett at the White House. The series became famous for it endless dialogue, it's endless camera shots of characters walking down halls and for making the average television viewer feel incredibility simple-minded. Created by prominent writer Aaron Sorkin, the series was a showcase for this man's overwhelming knowledge of everything moving. Not surprising, the series won every award under the sun, and brainiacs everywhere FINALLY rejoiced at having a television series that was created SORELY for them. It's best advise to take some motion sea sickness pills (for all the moving camera footage) and have advance degrees in English, Politics, Science, Philosophy
