'West Wing' to address tragedy
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — The third season of "The West Wing" will begin tomorrow with an unusual scene for unusual times: Martin Sheen and fellow cast members directly addressing viewers.
Sheen, who plays President Bartlet in NBC's White House drama, and his co-stars have the job of preparing the TV audience for an episode inspired by the terrorist attacks.
While other entertainment series rushed to eliminate anything—shots, dialogue or stories
- that might somehow evoke memories of the tragedy, "The West Wing"creator Aaron Sorkin just as quickly embraced the challenge.
Sorkin said show's excellence has earned it the right to be bold. "The West Wing" is very likely to win its second consecutive Emmy for best drama at Sunday's ceremony on CBS.
The episode also is a brave step for a series whose fictional president is at risk of being out of step with these neo-war times.
NBC did not blindly agree to such a sensitive undertaking.
"A couple of days after the events of Sept. 11, Aaron said he had something that he wanted to say, and he thought it would be important in the history of "The West Wing" to be able to say it," said Jeff Zucker, NBC entertainment president. "We did not want to make any decisions in the emotion of the moment."
Within a week, Sorkin had a script ready that Zucker called "moving and engaging. It will leave people talking and thinking about all the issues that face us now."
Plot details were not released, but Zucker said the story titled "Isaac and Ishmael" isn't specifically about the attacks that destroyed New York's World Trade Center and damaged the Pentagon.
There is debate about what
"A couple of days after the events of Sept.11, Aaron said he had something that he wanted to say,and he thought it would be important in the history of The West Wing to be able to say it."

viewers want now from popular culture — mere distraction or enlightenment. But Zucker expressed confidence that Sorkin's series is on the right path.
