The West Wing - The Complete Third Season (DVD, 2004)

This is the third season of the now proclamimed The West Wing.

This is an absolutely awesome series about the presidency. President Bartlett battles with a tough decision of whether or not to eliminate an enemy of the United States.

If you like following, what I feel, is a pretty darn close portrayal of the operations of the White House, this series is for you !!

I bought this series for a very dear friend that has terminal cancer. He loves this program and has now watched this set several times since Christmas. He stays in the bed nearly 24 hours a day but has really enjoyed this gift.

Not the greatest season of The West Wing, it would be hard to top season 2, however, its better than anything else out there right now. Top notch show with infinite rewatchability.

this show is a fast paced, energetic and intriguing look into the white house and the day to day functions. its exciting and dramatic the characters are so real they make you want to work there too.

Purchaed videos on 7/20, rcvd email stating sent 7/28. 8/10 inquired where my order was. was told sent to wrong address and it would be sent as soon as they rcvd it back. 8/20 was advised still waiting for the video to be returned to them. on 8/31 emailed seller back was advised I should have rcvd it already that seller would look into. 9/7 - Still no video 48 days and still no video.

Perfect condition, exactly as advertised. Extremely reasonable price and free shipping were amazing! The seller made everything very easy and delivered a great product!

The third season of the hit tv show, The West Wing, is one of the best seasons. It is the second to last season with Aaron Sorkin.

The West Wing's third season began in sadness. The 9/11 attacks would change much about our country (and this show), and we got an episode after them (Isaac and Ishmael) that attempted to show sensitivity and comfort during a confusing time. At that time, it wasn't generally liked, but it seems to have aged well (it was voted the 10th best episode by Bravo viewers earlier this year). After this, though, the season began in earnest, picking up where the astonishingly good "Two Cathedrals" episode left off and begins a multi-episodic story arc that has the staff at odds with each other as well as the introduction of the fabulous Ron Silver as Bruno Gianelli (he would get an Oscar nod for his performance). Truth be told, this season didn't have the same uniformity of excellence that previous ones did--the middle of the season was lukewarm, with episodes like "The Two Bartlets" and "Night Five" which rank among the lowest in the series (let's keep it in perspective, though: the worst of this season is still better than the best of the current one). However, the show pulls off one of the best episodes of the show in the finale, "Posse Comitatus", which has President Bartlet grappling with faith, law and morality in the matter of having an Osama bin Ladin-like terrorist assassinated. The sheer shock of the final act still brings chills down my spine every time I see it. Also notable: perhaps the most emotional episode in the series, "Bartlet for America" won an Emmy and its final scene between the President and Leo rivals the denouement in Kubrick's Paths of Glory for full-force emotional impact. "Gone Quiet" is a gripping story about a lost submarine, and features a wonderful, curmedgeonly performance by Hal Holbrook as Assistant Secretary of State Albie Duncan. "100,000 Airplanes" is an example of the complex narrative structure of the series: there are no less than four major stories revolving around Bartlet's State of the Union address, each of which are engaging. One of my favorites is "The U.S. Poet Laureate," which covers the scandal following an off-air gaffe on the part of the president. Says C.J. Cregg, "It's a classic Washington scandal. We got in trouble for telling the truth." But all through this season are these character threads: the President and Abbey (leading to a surprisingly touching scene in "Dead Irish Writers"), Josh and Amy's budding relationship, Toby and his ex-wife, Andie, and, of course, the President and Leo. The final one was always one of the most satisfying relationships with the show, and the fact that the current WW writers have all but eliminated it is one of my major beefs with the show right now. Enough soapboxing. Season 3 of the West Wing contains powerful drama and excitement, examination of real political issues and real people. It's definitely worth the money for anyone.

entertaining and educational -very professionally done xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

From begining to end, fast transaction. Shipping was 2 days. Item was new as described, perfect transaction. Highly reccomend!

I never watched this program while it was airing on tv. I just recently "discovered" it thanks to my wife watching the first season on DVD. After watching just a few minutes,I was hooked. I love this show. The storylines sometimes are surprisingly(?) close to real life situations.(at least the ones we know about) To anyone ,like me, that didn't catch this tv classic first time around,I highly recommend it.

I am in the process of collecting all seasons of The West Wing as it was one of my favorite TV series.

I bought it because I bought one two and this was third.bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

further episodes of the bartlett white house, as josiah bartlett runs for reelection amid allegations that he misled the public about having ms. the ensemble cast works well together, the characters are compelling, & the writing is excellent. while the politics is unabashedly liberal, the presentation is relatively even-handed. plus, this season marks the introduction of mary louis parker's character!

The whole series is well done. Actors selected to play roles were picked with excellence. Great series.

Season 3 of The West Wing was wonderful, I couldn't ask for it to be any better. I will diffently buy more dvds.

I loved the actors, writers, themes, topices and the whole concept of the show. I really don't have anymore to say other than that it is a very great show.

The acting is superb, the use of the camera's angles are unique, the dialogs are fantastic. I don't get tired to watch this show

I love this series and this set of dvds are no exception. If you are a fan, make sure you purchase this season. Relive the MS debate, the Congressional Censure, and the killing of Qumar defense minister. A must have!

I am very happy with this purchase. I have no dislikes and would buy it again. It is exactly what I expected without any hidden factures.

I received great service and prompt delivery. The seller met all my expectations for the West Wing Season 3 DVD series in new condition. My son was delighted when it arrived!
