Species: Couch Potato

Well, last weekend I was a total sofa spud, and – over the course of the weekend – watched the entire first season of The West Wing.

Yeah, 15 hours of staring at that screen instead of a computer screen. Sue me.

I’ve long been a fan of the show, even though the last couple of seasons it’s fallen off a bit for me.

I never saw the first season – maybe a show or two in reruns – but it was amazing to watch the first season (especially without commercials!). Great acting, great writing, intelligent topics (for a prime-time drama) without much pandering. Just amazingly refreshing after sampling some the recent TV dreck.

So I purchased seasons two and three, and that’ll keep me occupied for some time.

Really, really quality prime-time TV. Amazing.
