The West Wing (TV Series) 20 Hours in L.A. (2000) User Reviews

Gather ye rosebuds while you may, Josh

[robrosenberger · 8/10 · 23 October 2012]

The Presidential caravan heads to CA, for a banquet hosted by studio chief Ted Marcus (WAITING FOR GUFFMAN, BEST IN SHOW). Ted jerks Josh around, and threatens to cancel the party unless Bartlet comes out against an anti-gay bill. Leo asks Hoynes to break a 50-50 senate tie, voting for ethanol subsidies, which he campaigned against. Pollster Al Kiefer (John de Lancie, STAR TREK: TNG-DS9-VOY) offers unsettling numbers on flag- burning...and an unsettling moment for Josh, who discovers him in Joey Lucas' hotel room. Plus the debut of Jorja Fox (MEMENTO, CSI) as secret service agent Gina Toscano, assigned to Zoey's detail. C.J.'s ignorance of the movie business is ridiculous, given her later backstory as a Hollywood publicist. The chemistry between Donna and Josh has become exquisite, and the scene between Balaban and Sheen is towering. Not enough? Okay, you made me say it...Hasselhoff.

THE WEST WING: SEASON 1, EPISODE 16: 20 Hours in L. A. Directed by: Alan Taylor Written by: Aaron Sorkin

The White house take L. A., a fun little romp of an episode where we find the team coming to L. A. for the weekend. This is one of those cute episodes with celebrity cameos (David Hasselhoff), fundraising parties & all the team trying to side step certain conversations.

I didn't hate this episode it just felt like a step down and I really don't have much to say. Plot lines are continuing but the episode mostly felt like a bottle episode which just involved transplanting the team to a new location for one episode.
