The West Wing started half way through it's 1st year in office. Technically to end up where the show is now, we're missing a full year in office. Someone want to explain that one?

Thanks!

Just where the story picked up. They have flahsed back several times, but it would be awkward to have the characters getting used to their jobs, and the viewers used to the show.

Eureka! This is the answer. Do a West Wing - In the Beginning! It worked for Batman and now Superman, not to mention the Star Wars Trilogy. Lets see more of where the characters came from, and that missing first year.

Just joking of course. Deperate to come up with any idea to convince NBC to keep this show going. In the UK we have been watching Eastenders for over 20 Years and Coronation Street for over 40! These Soaps/Dramas are shown each and every week with up to three episodes a week! Why o' why can;t a programme like WW, with far superior writing and engaging storylines have such a life. Both programmes are watched by 15 to 25 million people in the UK. Is it just that NBC got the scheduling all screwed up?
