West Wing, The - The Complete 1st Season (6 Disc Box Set)

The West Wing provides a glimpse into the inner workings of the Oval Office as seen through the eyes of an eclectic group of staffers led by President Josiah Bartlett (Martin Sheen).

The street smart Leo McGarry (John Spencer) is the President's chief of staff and his closest ally and confidant. The cool and competant Press secretary CJ Cregg (Allison Janney) spends her time deflecting awkward press questions alongside her cynical and sleepless Communications Director Toby Zeigler (Richard Schiff).
