Literary Lessons from The West Wing?

[freerange]

I've been reading with interest the thread about Literary Lessons from Lord of the Rings (http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106555), which I'm sure we'll look at in the next few years once my LOTR mad daughter is old enough, but it got me thinking - is there a similar resource for The West Wing?

hmmm. wouldn't that be better suited for a Political Science course?

(i loved The West Wing!)

I loved West Wing too!
It certainly does seem like it could be the basis for some great learning about U.S. Govt. Would someone please write the curriculum please? I'd be glad to participate in beta testing such a thing...

Not what you are looking for I am sure- but Brian William NBC just did a fantastic series on the West Wing and the new admin. I am making all of my kids watch it.

On a side note: I learned more from the TV series West Wing, than I did studying in DC junior year of college! :)
