This review is from: The West Wing: The Complete First Season (Amazon Instant Video)
This is the single best television episode I have ever seen. The pathos of the underlying theme, that of the forgotten veteran is just absolutely heartbreaking and provoking.
The series was excellent, and the writing superb, but this is the apogee, the episode you will remember for years afterword.

This review is from: The West Wing: The Complete First Season (Amazon Instant Video)
This is the best episode of The West Wing. A) It makes you feel that politicians really have hearts and do care. B.) The side plot of the dead Korean War Vet will stand every hair on your back at attention. Video came out a bit funny, but that was likely due to my laptop's screen resolution.
