Are there any episodes you skip?

I have to say I don't like the 'international incident' episodes. I think the domestic politics stuff is much better and smarter.

I watch them over and over, right up to the moment when Sam Seaborn leaves. The show was rapidly decaying after that. No more witty repartee; no amazing insight; no more tension and decision making. Just rapid decay. We lose Leo, and suddenly an excellent press secretary becomes a boring chief of staff. Josh suddenly has no integrity, whether it be slugging Toby or banging his secretary. Yep. There were a few good ones in the final seasons, but Sorkin is gone, and finding the good episodes is a lot like picking good meat out of a cheap order of ribs. It is possible, just very time-consuming. I usually start over right after Sam leaves.

I don't skip any episodes.

The one with CJ's dad was tedious,though I watched all of it. Half way through Access (Season Five) now, and seriously considering ditching it.

Season 5 through to 7. Honestly, the worst ep from 1-4 is, imo, better than than the best of season 5-7. Alan Alda was the only good thing in the later eps. Whenever I start a rematch , I always say to myself "Im going to watch everything", and then, I start season 5, and give up.
Richard Schiff has never even seen any of the eps after Sorkin left. He hates it as well. I was so glad when I heard him say that!

I skip a lot of Season 5, including "Han", but many others. I skip "The Long Goodbye", I skip "90 Miles Away", I skip "Message of the Week" and I skip "The Debate".

I'm very surprised to hear anyone would skip "Holy Night" - even if you don't like the bits about Toby's dad, that's a relatively small part of the episode. There's a lot in there, Jed and Leo dealing with their guilt over Shareef, the returns of both Danny and Zoey to the show, some Josh and Donna stuff.

"Somebody's Going to Emergency, Somebody's Going to Jail" is Sam's best episode, too, why would you want to skip that?

I started skipping in the second season. After S2E19 I really started to skip around. The writing starts to drag out. I also get bored easily when the discussions are about petty subjects. I really like it when Martin Sheen digs in and has deep discussions with the staff in the Oval Office. That's the good stuff.

I love the 9 11 special.

I just skipped the special that was abut real people who worked at the real white house. I don't hate it but it adds nothing.
