NBC’s ‘West Wing’ to Take More Bipartisan Approach
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – When NBC’s White House drama “The West Wing” returns next week for its fifth year, the most obvious difference from last season will be that John Goodman, not Martin Sheen, is calling the shots in the Oval Office as the famously liberal show gets more bipartisan.
Goodman plays a Republican House speaker who becomes acting commander-in-chief when President Bartlet (Sheen), a Democrat, temporarily relinquishes power in the midst of an international crisis involving his kidnapped daughter.
Executive producer John Wells promises that Sheen will get his old job back before long.
Sure, sure – - typical. When things start to go awry – - ratings start to dip….go ahead, turn to the Republicans for help and support. It’s because we’re a sure thing, don’t ya know?
