The West Wing: The Midterms (2000)
Excellent
This episode is fantastic. Not only does it show the best duologue and development of character and relationships on the program, but the skewering of the Dr. Laura character was well done. It's not about what faith you believe in, it's a bout how seriously you take yourself. Sorkin presents the clear message that whether you're Muslim or Christian, you can't go around calling people infidels or abomination. If you're going to cherry pick from you're sacred text, why do you have to pick the most negative parts? The part where they all meet with Josh is particularly moving. Sorkin has that perfect mix of funny and serious that you only really see on Scrubs. Not that the shows are similar, but they have stylistic similarities. This episode was a good refrain from the drama of the first and second episode of this season.
