Meet Andrea & Sallie, two friends who have wit, colorful commentary, and clearly too much time on their hands. Join them as they rewatch the series, episode-by-episode.

It's the CJ Cregg show, and we're not mad about it. We've got brilliant (even non-verbal) scenes with both CJ & Danny and CJ & Toby; if this episode doesn't pull at your heart strings, we don't know what will. Also, it's our second-to-last episode, and we're feeling emotional about it. Join us to commiserate, as we recap, "Institutional Memory."…

It's a perfectly fine episode; it tells the story of both our President-Elect and one bathrobe-clad candidate who lost and the unlikely way they may be joining forces. We didn't dislike it, but we're missing out on the stories of so many original cast members, with whom we have so little time left.Par Andrea Howat

It's the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. It's the culmination of the Santos campaign and the culmination of a relationship that's seven years in the making.

*We almost didn't post this one because Sallie's mic track is scratchy and we couldn't fix it. But for those adept at tuning that out, we figured we'd release the episode, since we already went ahead and recorded the next episode (ELECTION DAY!).

Well, whaddya know, it's The Vinick Show. Surely we're still rooting for Matt Santos but we'll take any episode that gives us a hearty dose of Bartlet being the leader we know and love. Vinick fields questions on his personal religious beliefs and he ends up discussing them with President Bartlet, over multiple tubs of ice cream. It's truly delight…
