The West Wing, Seasons Five and Six

Finished those both in sequence fairly recently. I think I like the 5th season more than the consensus does, but I think that the show peaked in the 2nd year, and every season without a 'big hunk of cheese' episode was a wasted season.

Now, the 6th; that was some good television, although the 'next generation' cast proved more interesting than the regulars, which, if it does carry through to the 7th, will make one wish that the show had managed to go into the 'Law and Order' mode of continuous cast turnaround. Much like 'The Paper Chase', actually, of which the fact that it is still unavailible on DVD continues to be one of the great ongoing crimes against television history. (It's not even as though it had lots of license-requiring music, even.)
