        I don’t remember this, so I’m assuming it was post-Sorkin?

        After Sorkin and Schlamle left it was a shadow of its former self.

        Studio 60 almost worked. Newsroom was always so transparently preachy and one-sided. But those first 4 seasons of the West Wing were…just phenomenal.

          Transcendent.

          When shows are working so well that they emphasize the skill and craftsmanship of each creative group, writers, actors, directors, etc, while also illustrating how the whole is even greater than the sum of its parts…

          Peak television, in my opinion.
