Ok, this is not an official review but here are some thoughts.
Season 6.
I got this box set on monday the 26TH of sept. I had watched all 22 episodes by the following thursday. I made the time for this show, because it is that good
Season 5 , although still good, seemed to loose its way somehow. There were no real stand out episodeds and it seemed like the cast and crew were just treding water rather than swimming through the story. Thankfully season 6 is a return to form that ,although still feels the absence of the shows creator in the writing, comes very close to the style and snapyness of the first four seasons.
Season 6 has some individual episode storys while also maintaining a season long story arch about the presidential nominations. This is Jed Bartletts last year as the president and he's goanna do some good before he goes damn it! There is a shake up of who is doing what job within the west wing, which keeps the show fresh, and the adding of Jimmy smits and alan alda to the mix brings the show a great shot in the arm.
If you can avoid spoilers for the season , please do so, it will make the last episode in the season that much more enjoyable.
Remember, this season has still yet to be shown on UK TV. Get the box set for £40.00 and enjoy it uninterrupted and logo free, with a clean crisp picture and sound. This DVD boxset really is the best way to View the westwing and I for one, cant wait for season 7!

Season 6.
The line forms here. As the Bartlett administration enters the last year, Oval Office hopefuls emerge from both major parties. And so do political strategists eager to back those bids for the White House dreamers and doers willing to leave their West Wing posts for another grab at the brass ring.
An up-and-coming congressman (Jimmy Smits) and an astute Republican senator (Alan Presidential aspirants. But in addition to the running for office, there's the business of running the country - a job on the shoulders of Bartlett (Martin Sheen) and his now reorganized staff. It's a taxing job under any circumstances, even more so when the nation's commander-in-chief battles the ravages of MS. The candidates, the staff, the nation: see how they run in this remarkable 22-episode Season 6.
