0In this episode of TV Party Tonight, Mark Radulich, Andrew Graham, and Jesse Starcher dive into The West Wing Season 5 — a season of seismic change. From Zoe Bartlett’s kidnapping and John Goodman’s temporary presidency to President Bartlet’s moral burden and Abby’s sense of betrayal, we unpack the season’s political and emotional upheaval. We also discuss the optics of power, real-world presidential parallels, and how the personal toll of leadership is often paid at home. Heavy is the head that wears the crown — and this season makes sure we never forget it.
