The West Wing

Show generally

Easter egg: On both the first and second season DVD sets insert the special features disc of each set. When the menu comes up press your left arrow, then your right arrow. A star will appear below the menu options. On the season one special features disc there is an interview with the chief security guard of the set. On season two they discuss the fishbowl on the desk of C.J.Craig.

Season 5 generally

Continuity mistake: When the plan to kill the Qumari defense minister is being contemplated, several times in the last episodes of Season 3, and at least once in season 4, he 's referred to the Sultan's brother. In season 5, he is referred to as both his cousin and his brother.

Question: I don't really understand Josh's comment to Mary Marsh on TV ("Lady, the god you pray to is too busy being indicted for tax fraud."). Could someone please explain it to me?

Answer: It's in reference to the many televangelists and revival ministers usually associated with the right-wing that have been convicted of tax fraud (Jim Bakker and Tamy Faye being a more famous set). Occasionally, the more unscrupulous ministers have bilked millions from believers all in the name of God.
