The show follows the Administration of President Josiah
Bartlett. Originally intended to be about the staffers with the President as
a mostly unseen character this changed over the course of the first season.
The show managed to keep a finger on the political pulse, and fiction
often closely followed reality.
The show ran for seven seasons, through the Administration of Bartlett
and on to finding and electing his eventual successor.
