“Will ‘The West Wing’ go Republican?”

“We were a year and a half into the administration when we started the show,” Wells said of the NBC drama entering its sixth season. “We have term limits in this country and so, on our electoral schedule, Bartlet’s second term would end a year from this coming January.”

What the heck is John Wells talking about? We were less than a year into the administration when the show began, and the second term would end two years from this coming January. “The Midterms,” in which the midterm congressional elections took place, aired in the fall of 2000, and more importantly, Bartlett won re-election in the fall of 2002 and had his second inaugural in January 2003.

I hate, hate, hate it when TV programs do this sort of thing. Someone better correct him, fast.
