Season Summary

In the first season of this celebrated political series, we meet President Josiah Bartlet and his dedicated staff and watch them navigate the treacherous and difficult waters of governing the most powerful nation on earth.

Bartlet is a Nobel Prize-winning economist, former Governor of New Hampshire, former Congressman, devout Roman Catholic and devoted family man. Though brilliant and well-intentioned, he must battle his own personal demons as well as the challenges of the office.

The first season finds Bartlet struggling to recapture his boldness and idealism after nearly losing it to political ambition. It also sees Chief of Staff Leo McGarry face the public in regards to his past addictions, Deputy Chief of Staff Josh Lyman nearly lose his job after offending the Christian right, Deputy Communications Director Sam Seaborn struggle with his relationship with a call girl, Press Secretary C.J. Cregg try to rectify her feelings for a White House Reporter, and a young man named Charlie Young become the President's new "body man."

By the end of the season, new challenges would arise, not the least of which was the fact that Bartlet secretly suffers from MS. Biggest of all challenges lay in the final episode of the season, when gunmen open fire on the President and his entourage.
