THE WEST WING - Season 1.6 - MR. WILLIS OF OHIO

Episode centers on the census.  A rather boring topic.  Mr. Willis of Ohio is a congressman who has taken the seat of his late wife.  He's an extremely well-written character, portraying an "everyman" who shows Toby that the people aren't dumb and that politics can sometimes get in the way of what's right and what's wrong.

Bradlety Whitford is funny as hell.  Rob Lowe does a great job.  Allison Janney is terrific.  The cast brings the characters to life, showing humanity, inelligence and at all times, a passion for what they do.  That is effectively entertaining.
