the west wing
A TV show which followed the events surrounding a fictional president and his staff. The show was unashamedly liberal although always tried to show Republicans in a fair and honest light.
Despite not initially having the highest viewing figures, the program attracted then-record sums for adverts in America as the audience was deemed to be massively middle-class and wealthy.
Lambasted by a number of conservatives for being a liberal show, but remains the high point for televisual output from the States for the last 20 years.
The quality of the program declined when the creator, Aaron Sorkin left and the show has now been cancelled.
Famous for fast-paced dialogue and bringing politics to the (educated) masses. Presumably hated by the MTV generation as it has storylines that you are required to follow.
Names, rather obviously, after the West Wing of the White House where the various staff were primarily based.

The West Wing will remain the benchmark for all political and dramatic television for years to come.
