The episode in the final series, the live presidential debate, must surely have been one of the highlights of television in recent years... What could have been seen as veteran Alan Alda (one of the best actors ever) teaching Jimmy Smits a lesson didn't occur, I think both actors should have been given some sort of award for the class they both showed in this episode... As for a new series, I can understand that the original story is now complete, but surely by calling it "The Bartlett Years" there was an option to take it further and by making Santos the new president there are many more avenues to be explored, questions to be asked than by taking the easy route and giving Vinik the presidency... Please think seriously about a new series, or even a decent spin off exploring some of the more sensitive issues that could be encountered by a Santos administration....
