So not being American, not being familiar with American brands, I spent a solid 10 years thinking that he made that "Egg Cream" with Chololate Syrup, Cold Milk and *Salsa*.

Watching this again. 4:28 Mrs. Landingham holding Donna's hand.

I’m still in a combination of great writing and acting can stir our souls, reminding us that the fight is still worth finishing and winning. That despite the deluge of despair that forces bent on our destruction rain down upon us, we will continue to stand, to fight, to win. November is coming.

isint brooklyn in New England?

And now we have the Nancy Pelosi Stock Tracker. Different times.

After all these years, I never noticed that CJ seems to signal to Toby to break the bad news to Donna about Josh. It seemed to me that no one wanted to tell her so CJ signaled to Toby to tell her.

what bartlet said: look what happened what remained unspoken: to my boy

He’s been shot in the chest. He’s in surgery right now. Donna: is it serious?

Donna's face says it all.... outstanding acting; ,,,and even better, no makeup, as you would expect.

1:46 - Secret Service agent holding the door just a bit longer to hear that the President is going to be fine is a nice detail, his subtle relaxed smile in the end is too

Mmm what cha say....

there is always one person who wants the drama to be about them. (blonde girl)

Such a masterclass in acting from every character. Toby's panic and stutter make it so real. Josh's delusion is very realistic for someone flirting with consciousness. Donna's face subtly changing as she learns about Josh. The half second shot of Mrs Landingham sitting in silence, holding Donna's hand is heartbreaking and the perfect representation of a mother being there for her children. Finally Jed's steely, determined eyes at the end as he watches his surrogate son clinging to life. This was such a unique and amazing show.

Why are white people so inherently evil?

I know this is television, but the trauma doctors & nurses would've ABSOLUTELY REFUSED to let them anywhere near the surgical theatre. There would've been a fistfight, raised voices, the works. They would have you *physically removed* before they allowed all of those people to contaminate a sterile surgical field..🦵🦵✋✋

If you didn’t cry during this scene or the whole episode you don’t understand how powerful a series can be

Poor Toby has to be the grownup.

"Tell me whats happnening" a Man in the position of Power like Leo. Asking information in despaire, like a Child. This is Peak television.

And here we are in 2024.... and it's... worse.. But this is still my favorite show...

Donnatella Moss: The true Ride or Die.

When Toby said " Josh was hit" she knew what did it meant but he couldnt accept it. Janel were very good. She deserved an Emmy...

"Josh was shot, in the Chest.. hes in Surgergery!" Donna: Is it Serious.. 💀

Janel can still make me cry after all these years. What an amazing talent she is 🌹

Although it was only a quick passing shot toward the end of the clip, Mrs Laningham holding Donna’s hand said a lot.

This show, was no is the best every role played so perfectly, every line delivered, it is just the best show, I tell people to watch it that haven't seen it before but they don't, it is always about the latest must-see box set, I wish my friends would listen to me about this.

Who else is sobbing?

Oh god that little head shake from Donna is awful. Immediate denial, complete disbelief. She didn’t even think Josh could ever be in danger. Her entire focus was on the President, as of course Josh, her Josh, couldn’t be hurt.

Told he's been shot in the chest and is in surgery by a room full of people who look like they are in mourning.... And she asks "is it serious?!" 🙄😂

Nothing gets to me like west wing does.

Why didn't they tell her when she frist hot there?? She loved him ❤

Donna. The best news she had ever heard to in 30 seconds the worst news she’s ever heard…..

I feel like this clip should end on the “Psychics at Cal Tech…” scene. 🙃

I have the DVDs. I bought it on iTunes and I still watch random CZcams clips, lol.

Makes me tear up every time I see the clip and now, I am typing this with stingy eyes.

Donna’s reaction gets me every time

That moment when you realize the highest position in the world can't keep you safe. You realize being on the side of right isn't enough. That's the moment when you know what it really feels like to be truly powerless. It's a moving and frightening scene.

Gawd, still gets me every time.

“If you were in trouble I wouldn’t stop for red lights.” Hits very different when you see Donna while Josh really is in trouble.

Dex is so brave, trying to save his friend 🥺

One of the best shows ever.

I couldn't stand Josh, the way he treated people was horrible. I would have been fine if he was off the show.

The only thing I didn’t like about the scene is the amount of people walking by him prior to Toby finding; just oblivious to a guy bleeding out was a bit dumb. But everything else was beautifully done

Lol I love how they tell her was shot and just leave it hanging. Totally implying he’s dead.

I still don’t understand why Josh didn’t tell anybody he was shot or call out?

Blue! Blue! Blue!

I think that you should have had one of them. Stand up next to her when she was given the news.

Gos its been I don't know how long since the west wing was on and 30 seconds in I'm already in tears about Josh.... Such a great show with a lasting effect...

This episode really sets up one of the greatest monologs in television history inside the church after Mrs. Landingham's funeral. I still get chills hearing it because we've all been there.

0:14 i love seeing the emotionless extra stalking in front of the camera
