I miss the West Wing, anyone gotten into another show like that since it's gone off?

The West Wing set such a high standard, especially the first three seasons. I don't know that you ever had a show that was written so intelligently, had such amazing production values, and gave us such great characters.

Maybe it was lightining in a bottle. Certainly Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip misses the mark (hard to have that great Aaron Sorkin dialogue about a Saturday Night Live show).

I haven't found a true replacement, but here are a few shows that you might want to take a look at:

Politics - Commander in Chief. Compared to the West Wing, it falls short, but to be fair it was well acted, and it is a fine show about politics and government. A much better show was "The New Labour", which was a 2 part miniseries about the Labour party in England. Its not available on DVD yet, but worth taking a look.

Political intrigue - the New version of Battlestar Galactica on Sci Fi. Yes, I had my doubts about this series - the original with Lorne Greene was cheesy, but this is a very well written and plotted show. Watch it from the beginning and see the story unfold. The politics are very well done.

The Sopranos and Deadwood - 2 HBO series that are very well done. Yes they are extremely violent, but its great dialogue.

24 and Lost - shows that have great production value. First season of Lost is very good, and 24 unfolds very well.

And another selection out of Left Field - Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. This is the most complex of all the series, with very large story arcs allowed to take their time to develop. It values subtext as much as action.

I'm anxious to see other suggestions - I miss the West Wing very much.

Maybe its because one of the West Wing stars is in it, but I've kind of gotten into Studio 60 on Sunset Strip - which will probably be cancelled since I like it!! Otherwise, there aren't a whole lot of intelligently-written programs out there right now.

Madam Chairman on CBS (2014) reminds me a little of it with the fast paced dialogue and the feeling of really being in DC.

this isnt exactly like west wing but i find it very comprable

its called NUMB3RS it airs on CBS on friday at 9;00 pm
