NBC Flushes the Johns

Posted on 10/31/2004 8:50:01 PM PST by ProudVet77

By an odd coincedence the NBC series "West Wing" has killed off 2 Johns. John Amos (who played the Admiral) and John Spencer (who played Leo McGarry) are both now gone from last years crew. Just a thought.

Why did they decide to write out John Spence. I always liked him -- they needed to flush Sheen.

Please! Spread the word!!
Here is a link to page I put together full of video and audio links.

The Swiftvets news conference on C-SPAN can be found here.

"Stolen Honor" video clips are at the top.

An interview of Steve Gardner (the gunner that served under Kerry) is next and then the SwiftVets.com ads

There are many other links.

I put together a page of info here about Kerry.

If you have a few minutes to spend - check out my 9/11 memorial page and turn up your speakers to hear "Have You Forgotten?"

Arm yourself with ALL the facts. Then enlighten someone else - spread the knowledge.

Spencer was the only actor that made that show watchable (not that I watched it very often)--what happened?

Is it certain he is dead? I saw just a second of him in the woods.

In the last episode he was having a heart attack at Camp David. Looks like Jimmy Smits (NYPD Blue) is going to replace him.

I don't think Leo's dead. Highlight my text below for details:

-Begin Spoilers-
From what I understand, Leo's not dead, but the heart attack was "debilitating". Bartlett picks CJ to replace him, which causes resentment among the other staffers (i.e. Josh).

-End-

Personally, I'd think it'd be interesting if they had a spinoff of West Wing with a Republican president.

All: I don't know for sure, but all the signs indicate Leo is being offed. Agree with most of you he is one of the best cast members. Wish Josh had been offed.
The idea mentioned of a pub president is interesting, I've heard it postulated. Alan Alda as a pub? Yech.
If I were a betting man, I'd say the plot will follow the election. If W wins, they will put in a pub president who is a dope, if Kerry wins, we will have an heroic Bartlett come back.

In other words it's a flip flop. :)
I'll stick with my earlier prediction, the script will follow whatever lines helps the dems.
