Watch The Latest Episode Of The West Wing (Basically)

by Jill Pantozzi | 5:43 pm, September 20th, 2012

You know, the wait between seasons of our favorite shows are just getting longer and longer these days. I think we need to start a petition or maybe put the decision to some kind of vote. Wait, this isn’t the premiere of Season 8 of The West Wing but a clever political ad with a huge Hollywood assist? Still awesome. Allison Janney, Janel Moloney, Bradley Whitford, Martin Sheen, Richard Schiff, Melissa Fitzgerald, Joshua Malina, and Lily Tomlin help Mary McCormack’s sister, Bridget Mary McCormack (interesting names, McCormacks), in her political aspirations. Earlier in the year, some of the cast reunited for a Funny or Die video, but this is even better. I won’t ruin anything by listing my favorite parts, just please, let me present to you the best four minutes you’ll spend doing anything today.

Just What You've Always Wanted

Walk With Me: The Cast of The West Wing Reunites For Wonderful PSA About Walking [Video]

by Jamie Frevele | 5:44 pm, May 1st, 2012

Well, this is one of the best things on the internet today. That is, if you’re a certifiable Wingnut, or a devoted fan of The West Wing. Most of the cast reunited — Allison Janney, Josh Malina, Dulé Hill, Melissa Fitzgerald, William Duffy, and the Prez himself, Martin Sheen — for this quick little PSA-slash-contest promoting the benefits of this newfangled exercise called “walking.” If you’ve ever seen an episode of The West Wing, you’ll know they do a lot of that, often while talking and passing along folders with mysterious, classified information in them.

All it was missing was Josh (Bradley Whitford) and Donna (Janel Moloney) banter. Here! I wrote some after jump.

West Wing Flashback: C.J. Cregg Saves a Turkey From Execution [Video]

by Jamie Frevele | 5:45 pm, November 23rd, 2011

Okay, we’re veering away from total geekery for this one, but as one of our favorite non-geeky characters, we had to share this Thanksgiving-appropriate video featuring C.J. Cregg (played by Allison Janney) from The West Wing following through with her noble duty of choosing the turkey to be pardoned by the President of the United States Jed Bartlett (Martin Sheen). It’s not as easy as it sounds. Remember: When lifting a live turkey this Thanksgiving, support its hindquarters. Wherever they may be.

10 Female Characters We Love, Even Though They’re Barely Geeky In Any Way

by Jamie Frevele and Alanna Bennett | 12:34 pm, August 9th, 2011

While we like to spend the bulk of our time at The Mary Sue celebrating the characters and stories of geek fandom, every once in a while, other characters sneak in. And they aren’t geeky. In fact, some of them are downright mainstream. But since we are a geek site, we don’t really have any cause to write about these characters aside from the occasional mention if the topic calls for it. But today, allow us to indulge in a few mainstream guilty pleasures.
