I cried when west wing finished.

On Saturday night the last episode of West Wing was screened on ABC. It is the only TV program I have ever watched every episode of. It has been running nearly as long as I have been married and frankly I am devastated. The point is these people, and yes I am well aware they don’t actually exist, have become part of my life, I feel like I know them personally. I cried allot as the credits rolled for the last time. Is there something wrong with me?  My parents were the same with a show called As time goes bye often commenting to each other about what Jeanne or Lionel, the main characters, would do in a particular real life even. Why is it that TV does this to us?  Is it the mark of a good drama or is it the telling tale of how bad our society has got that we have relationships with pretend people? Don’t know but I tell you this I will miss my Saturday night meeting with the leader of the USA and his staff.
