The best episodes of The West Wing showcase why Aaron Sorkin’s political drama is still considered one of the highest quality TV shows to ever be broadcast. Running across 7 seasons from 1999 to 2006 on NBC, The West Wing focused on the presidency of Jed Bartlet (Martin Sheen) and the staff supporting him. It remains a hugely influential show, with many still citing it as one of the best written dramas of the last few decades. In fact, it was so well written that some real world governments such as Myanmar used it to study democracy (via NY Magazine).
