"The West Wing": President Bartlet Steps Down (Season 4 Finale)
If President Bartlet isn’t making grand speeches in the Oval Office, is it even "The West Wing" anymore? We were faced with that unappealing prospect when Bartlet abruptly stepped down, fearing that his daughter Zoey’s kidnapping left him too distracted to perform his duties as President.
John Goodman’s Speaker of the House was sworn in, and an uncertain future hung over the series — especially since creator Aaron Sorkin was leaving the show. He left his successors quite a parting gift: a huge mess that took all of Season 5 to clean up.
