Mr Magic Mushrooms gets huge props for the 'very special episode' of The West Wing, which could've been Just Awful but instead was (mostly) nicely done and low-key.
Now if we'd just get a friggin' UPN station...

Current Music:'law and order' does the bob kerrey story
I hated the After-School Special introduction. It, and the NBC promos, totally set the wrong tone - made it out to be a remake of Red Alert or something, and made it hard to settle down and just watch the damn thing.
I didn't mind the Socratic Method thing at all - I've heard a lot of the same stuff in the last month, too, but there's been a constant underlying note of hysteria, and a serious lack of context. I'll take a calm reiteration from Flamingo and Co over Nightline Or Bill fucking Maher or Net.weenies forwarding fake Nostradamus quatrains and thinking it's somehow profound.
