It's a fantastic series and it's LOOOONG. You get to see an 8 years of presidential life from start to finish and not always with the same president and by the time it's over, you really feel like you've been a fly on the wall for it all. BUT... you can literally watch the previously on the West Wing intro and pick it back up if need be. There are some really great character arcs and some wonderful performances.... I'm looking at you Allison Janney, and President Bartlett will make any real politician you ever come across pale in comparison. Check it out if you've not already.I've been looking for semi-mindless yet still enticing and entertaining television that I won't feel bad if I fall asleep during or have a significant time gap between episodes. Any recommendations? I've never heard of Gravity Falls but the reviews make it seem just interesting and entertaining enough to work.
For my money, a series that is absolutely worth getting in too but isn't overly cerebral or attention needy is The West Wing. Now, before AlderaanDuran get's dissapointed in me (he is who introduced me), let me explain.
