the west wing has been cancelled. i know that a lot of people who liked it back in its salad days gave up on the show once it started becoming crappy (circa the tail end of season 4). you've missed out - the last year or so has been really good, what with alan alda and jimmy smits and janeane garofalo and stephen root(!) joining the cast and debra cahn churning out masterpieces of writing. nevertheless, i'm glad that it's ending this year, and thankfully, the news of cancellation came early enough that the writers will be able to flesh out a proper denouement. it's a good time to wrap up - with bartlet leaving office and the administration moving on to other things - in fact, it's the time i always envisaged the producers would call it quits.
the only bad news: aaron sorkin isn't come back to write the last episode. i can't imagine how someone could create a show and not want to write the finale. my suspicion is that he's still bitter about all the criticism that was levelled at him while he was still writing/producing; if that's the case then he's being awfully childish, and i will not look kindly on studio 7 on the sunset strip when it comes out later this year. (though i will still watch it because i'm weak that way)
