Can I just say that the title of this scene is succinct and something none of us ever thought we would hear in association with the West Wing..."Charlie and the Bug Guys." 🤭
I first thought those bug guys were mistaken in talking about the West Wing being burned, but then I learned that the building was seriously damaged in a fire in 1929.
@@ianknight5120 He's actually spot on. The White House itself was burned in 1814, but the West Wing didn't exist at the time. There was a fire in 1929 during the Hoover administration, and much of the West Wing was rebuilt after it during the FDR administration, which included moving the location of the Oval Office to make it a more private space. From Taft to Hoover, the the oval was in the middle of the building and FDR didn't like the fact that he had to roll through busy areas in his wheelchair.
One thing to keep in mind: The West Wing doesn't exist in a realistic timeline. Even though this is post-Sorkin, Sorkin always said that if he had to choose between telling a good story or being realistic, he would choose telling a good story every time. So consider The West Wing to exist in an alternative timeline where the wing itself did exist during the War of 1812.
The majority of the white houses interior is essentially only 70 years old, as most of it was ripped out, renovated and replaced during the Truman administration.
The writing went downhill with this show after season 4, which is when the creator of the show, Aaron Sorkin, left the show. I read he didn't even watch the seasons 5-7.

I misread it as Big, not Bug. Here I was wondering what was big about bugs.
CJ would've fit in perfectly in Starship Troopers.

You're joking, right?

@@jasonkoch3182 I checked and you're absolutely correct. Very interesting.
@@jasonkoch3182to be fair. The TV show seems to exist in multiple timelines.
This was very nice.😊

That whole piano leg through the ceiling thing was quite motivational
"we can learn when the white house was built and burnt down"
Im p sure we know those dates
Cue the "Whitehouse Creation Myth" conspiracy theory.

*pernicious*
Sorkin must have been home bouncing off the walls on coke watching the seasons of WW after he left going What the F were they thinking>!>
Is there anyone in this room who thinks that believes the presidents personal aide would be assigned a task like extermination??
At this point Charlie wasn't personal aide, but rather Special Assiistant to the Chief of Staff.

It's like they were imitating him with all these cutesy skits that seemed vaguely Sorkinesque but ended up just being lame
Season five total dogshit
