The West Wing seems to be feeding the myth about how presidential politics are.

Networks don't want a show with a continuing story. There's no backend potential.

A show like Knots or any other show that can be called a soap opera does terribly in syndication because if you're a viewer and you miss a week you don't know what's going on.

No matter how much you sit there twiddling, going, 'We're all doomed', at the end of the day people will always want to hear you play Creep. Get over it.

No one's busy thinking bad things about you. They're all too busy thinking bad things about themselves.
