"The West Wing" The Complete 3rd Season (4 DVD Set)

BUZZFLASH REVIEWS

Okay, it's time to enter your own parallel universe, not the one that we happen to inhabit -- you know, the one run by the Bushlione crime family.

So sit back and relive the complete third season of the West Wing and recall what it is like to have an executive branch run by thoughtful, conscientious, caring, responsible, REALLY compassionate people. And a president who can actually think about the implications of his actions. Lord, is that too much to ask for? Apparently, yes, except in a television series that stars a progressive actor, Martin Sheen.

This DVD set features:

· Available subtitles: English, Spanish, French
· Available Audio Tracks: English (Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround)
· Commentary by creator Aaron Sorkin and others on three episodes
· All 22 episodes from 2001-02 season
· "Reel-Life to Real-Life" documentary
· "A Property Master's Story" featurette
· "The Chief of Stuff" featurette
· Number of discs: 4

Is this what's left of democracy, a Hollywood fantasy that lives up to the challenge of running a diverse, secular nation -- and playing by the rules. Is it possible to believe that a White House could be inhabited by people of conscience and reverence for our Constitution?

Only in Hollywood, apparently, dear BuzzFlash readers, only in Hollywood.
