No. Babylon 5.

along with Lord Mulberry.

He’s been with her 11 years, to like Joey is to like Kenny

1 Admiral Fitzwallace 2. Joey Lucas 3. Ainsley Hayes 4. Lord John Marburry 5. Nancy Mcnally

One of my favorite bits is where Joey is talking about how hot a guy is, and Josh gets uncomfortable with Kenny saying it lol

What is Kenny’s last name? 🤔 Anyone? 😂

Ironically, once Bartlet did do his big interview his numbers actually held up pretty decent

Smooth … well-played.

Al Gore won florida. they just convinced everyone he didn't.

Did Pres. Obama lose Florida during either of his elections?

Well, they elected DeSantis, so we don’t expect much from them anyway.

No... Florida is a swing-state in presidential elections.

Dems took FL in three of the last seven Presidential elections, so you’re completely wrong there. And five of the last eight governors, so you’re wrong there too.

He's not forgetting. He feels guilty -- bc he IS guilty - and is being defensive. Human!

I remember the first time I watched this. Every character had their charms but CJ was always a good time and then this episode came along and you had Sam say "Who gives a damn about sweeps and she said. "They do." And it hit me so hard, something so simple but. "Who gives a damn about what people like?" It made me love her character, even if it was her job, but that she saw that they were people even if it was just that they liked something so silly. And it made Sam entirely lose me because he was just another political schemer. I never really looked at any Politican, real or fictional the same. "Who gives a damn about May sweeps."

Beets. Bartlet. Battlestar Galactica.

People are unhappy when either the lie or the truth is uncomfortable to their personal situation. It's like ignoring reality would somehow make reality easier to handle.

I have a theory that part of the reason why your candidate's lies and character doesn't seem to matter, is because the voters are campaigned to vote AGAINST the opposing candidate and not FOR their own candidate.

This is the second to last episode of the second season (ep. 21 - 18th and Potomac). In this episode (SPOILER) we also learn Mrs. Landingham gets killed in a car crash.

Probably because it's a super secret meeting

I assume it’s a one-time issue; note also that “Sagittarius” is the word of choice when Donna informs Josh that she’s in the know, so one wonders if that SS agent knew Bartlet had MS or was just instructed to open the door for that word.

If I remember correctly, the word was used in other places too. It makes sense to have a code name because sometimes you have to call a meeting when others are present. Even Margaret had one where she said “ Leo wants to to say hello to an old friend” or something like that.

The latter, fam.

@@FluffyCrimsonBirkenstocks I believe the 'say hello to an old friend' is code for 'you're needed in the situation room immediately'.

Thurman, from season 1 episode 14

@@FurMama83 that's great, I didn't think it was ever mentioned, thank you for replying

@JohnDopesmoker Ya, the Republican party is nominating a twice-impeached convicted felon and rapist who lies about everything everyday and it's *liberals* that would support a liar 😂

Right - now it's the "conservative Christians" supporting an adulterer, business fraud, cheat who told thousands of lies during 4 years in the White House. SAD!

Liberal still just means generous, progressive or open to new ideas

@@MG-_-1471 Interesting... but I noticed you didn't say conservative still just means traditionalist... could it be because you consider yourself a Liberal? That's how people use the terms, in an insulting way towards the opposition, who is treated as the enemy. Both Liberal and Conservative are used as though people are spitting out a curse when they say them, but think whatever you like.

Yeah, this is just dripping with pretentiousness.

TV's best airtime for ad revenue.

I've never heard oy Mae Sweeps....a vacuum of sorts maybe.... but I have participated in May Sweeps and STILL hated the added TV Ads that were crammed into the time slots.

It is “May Sweeps.” It was a time of the year (the month of May) when the traditional television networks (NBC, CBS, and ABC) put on their best episodes of the top shows to get more television viewers and drive up ad revenues. Remember this was before the concept of viewing on demand and streaming. People had to watch television shows when they were broadcast or wait for reruns later.

I agree Clinton shouldn't have cheated on his wife and lied about it. He should have told Ken Starr to go screw himself. He's not the marriage-police. He had zero business asking Clinton about personal indiscretions, that was outside the scope of his investigation.

Or his chief rival being a lying, misogynist traitor with ties to Russia.

It’s because even if true the alternative is much much worse

@@MG-_-1471 Ah come on, everything was great for those 4 years honestly. We all made more money, things were cheaper, no wars. You gotta vote policy not personality. And the idea that bad orange man is worse than someone with full blown dementia is wild

Let's me objectively fair here, both candidates for the next election are horrendous.

@@jamiestewart48 I agree, they're both way too old. But if you had to pick one, I'd rather pick the one without the debilitating mental issue. I'm no big fan of trump but I do know the majority of bad things people believe about him just aren't true.
