Here’s a clip from “The Christmas Show” featuring New Orlean’s musicians and Danny (Bradley Whitford) finally “saying it” by admitting his feelings to Jordan (Amanda Peet). Larger version available in the Full Diagnosis.
After Christian extremists try and blow up the building because of their dislike of a radio personality Casey (Peter Krause) takes it on himself to speak back by attacking Jerry Falwell leading to this confrontation with Dana (Felicity Huffman). Larger version available in the Full Diagnosis.
Here are two clips ranting about the alarmingly awful state of television. The first is the famous scene with Judd Hirsch from the Pilot (an homage to Paddy Chayefsky‘s Network). The second (found inside the Full Diagnosis along with a larger version of this clip) is a bit of a conversation between Jordan (Amanda Peet) and Hallie (Stephanie Childers) about “illiterate programming.”

The Press Secretary turned Chief of Staff C.J. Cregg (Allison Janey) has had quite a few memorable moments from doing “the Jackal,” dealing with Josh and Toby, arguing against the US treaty with Qumar, getting freaked out by maps, and more. Larger version of this clip from “In the Shadow of Two Gunmen” plus many more inside the Full Diagnosis.
If Toby Ziegler is The West Wing‘s conscience, Sam Seaborn (Rob Lowe) was its heart. I don’t know anybody who would argue the show was the same following Lowe’s departure. Whether it was dealing with a prostitue, trying to cure cancer, running for Congress, arguing with Leo’s daughter, talking with Ainsley Hayes, or getting a Supreme Court nominee out of jail, there was simply no one else like Sam. Clips a plenty in the Full Diagnosis.
