West Wing anyone?

I missed the first 5 minutes of the season premiere Sunday night - the "tease" before the opening credits. Can someone give me a blow by blow? I know I missed Danny Kincannon (sp?)... which makes me very sad... And I know it was a flash forward...

But what exactly I miss??

PS I loved this episode... bodes well for the season!

Here's the abbreviated version:

It was supposed to be 3 years later and the opening of the Bartlet Presidential Library. Some of the old staff was being greeted by President Bartlet when Josh came up the stairs to announce that the President had arrived. They showed the limo pull up and the door open but you could only see his feet coming out before it cut to the opening credits.

Love this show. I'm looking forward to Janeane Garofalo joining the cast. Kristin Chenoweth cracks me up

I love the West Wing!!!

I missed the whole first half hour, so I am sooooo upset.

But I am excited again for the show. SO many questions...

Thanks!

I also found an episode description on the web that described the beginning in detail - CJ and Danny are married with a kid!!

I love it!! Now, we just have to hope that the show lasts three more years so we can see this happen....

I didn't know Janeane was joining the cast - interesting. I didn't care for Kristin last season, but I did like her in the first episode. I just hope it doesn't tank in the ratings and get cancelled. The surest way to kill a show is to take it from the night and time it's had forever (Wednesday at 9pm) and pitch it to another day. Evil.

I think Janeane is going to be Josh's assistant on the campaign. I hate that it's not on Wednesday! Come on - West Wing starts with a W - it belongs on Wednesday!

I'm taping.

I like to watch it on my own time - and skip the commercials!

But since we're talking about it... what happened to Charlie?? Wasn't he CJ's assistant? I did watch the first 5 minutes tonight, and the opening credits, and he's no longer on. Did I miss something? Or forget some crucial storyline?

Good question!!! I have no idea what happened. I know Stockard Channing left to be on a sitcom on CBS. I do hope she shows back up for the Bartlets leaving the White House...

Me too!! I love Stockard Channing - she's been brilliant as Abby. Especially last season with Bartlet getting sicker and sicker. Actually, they've been brilliant together the past 7 years - there was one time they were having a fight and I was actually getting uncomfortable watching it at home.

I wonder if both she and Dule Hill will make some guest appearences this season..

You make me smile. That’s cute.

But still a poorly written show.

Poorly written? It's your choice to dislike it, but poorly written it ain't (save the horrid fifth season when Sorkin left the show). The writing is outstanding. If you want poorly written, watch the Geena Davis show.
