It's season five and the visigoths have laid siege to The Mural Room! John Goodman is at the helm and everyone's on edge (including us). Join Sarah Johnson (@sarahsj) & Andrea as they kick off Season 5 with discussions of Macbeth/bagels and lighting design ("Purple is not a requirement for nighttime.") It's the post-Sorkin era, and we're going for it.

Toby & Andy share some earth-shattering moments; Donna gets truthed by Amy Gardner; and "Book Bag" has been taken & there's a dead agent on the scene! Gahhhh! Andrea & Sarah (@sarahsj) are here to dish about it all. Let's dive in. 

Matthew Perry is back and John Hoynes is out the door! And there might be life on Mars but let's not talk about it. In other news, Andrea & Sarah discuss being NASA nerds & finding West Wing soulmates. I know.... you're welcome. Join us as we recap all things pertaining to, "Life On Mars."

Shots are fired and hey! It's lockdown on poker night. Who lost an unmanned spy plane over Russia? And who has 500 million dollars and no conscience? More importantly, which FRIENDS cast member guest stars as the male version of Ainsley Hayes? Andrea and Sarah (@sarahsj) are here to chat about it all. It's the vernal equinox! Grab an egg and let's go! 

In this episode, Andrea is rejoined by Sarah Johnson (@sarahsj) to discuss the episode, "Angel Maintenance." And if you think they don't talk about the hit song by Sarah McLachlan, think again. Not the most overwhelming of West Wing episodes but there are moments of glory while aloft on Air Force One. Join us as we discuss all things, "Angel Maintenance."

"I'm Marion Cotesworth-Haye!" Oh man... this episode... CJ has a laughing fit, Amy Gardner gets hazed on her first day as Mrs. Bartlet's Chief of Staff, and Charlie (pause for swooning) disagrees, respectfully.  

**Brief spoiler alert in this episode.** Let's just all agree to call this "The California 47th: Part II" and also agree that Sam Seaborn isn't actually leaving... Not that we're in denial... If you've never had someone to talk with about your feelings about Sam leaving, walk right this way.
