罗马第二季

　　广泛好评的1999年开始播出的NBC连续剧《白宫群英》(The West Wing)，它最新的一季将于9月24日在NBC播出。这部电视剧曾打败《老友记》、《欲望城市》等劲敌，连续两季成为艾美奖大赢家，并连续三季获得最佳连续剧奖。
　　一向被视为票房毒药的政治题材，在《白宫群英》里重获生机。这与当今美国公众价值取向的转变密不可分。尤其是9·11之后，美国人的爱国激情勃发，对总统的支持率达到前所未有的高度。《白宫群英》9·11特辑的收视观众多达2450万人。而剧中的演员们也纷纷表现出真正的政治热情，扮演森美的罗布洛 (Rob Lowe)成为阿诺·施瓦辛格的竞选顾问，扮演巴列总统的马丁·辛(Martin Sheen)则成为前一阵子好莱坞反战的中坚分子。
　　单纯从艺术角度来说，《白宫群英》在制作上比较活泼。虽然还是以拥护白宫为主旋律，但也不乏讽刺与调侃；虽然剧集强调纯属虚构，但暴露了众多白宫运作的真实内幕，因而也更受观众的欢迎。
　　在《白宫群英》里活跃的人物除了总统巴列及其家人外，还有他的一系列重要幕僚。从这个阵容便可看出，从全球战略的制定到总统一枚胸针的选择，在剧集里均可获得关注。当然其中也少不了各种谈情说爱的绯闻，其中不乏与现实“巧合"之处，例如在第一季中总统的女儿与白宫实习生大谈恋爱，而在剧集播出不久，便有消息称当时的总统克林顿的女儿与一名白宫实习生热恋。
　　剧集一方面为观众提供了一个窥视国家大事运作过程、窥视政坛要人的私生活的窗口，一方面又试图通过自己的表现影响高层，真正起到为总统出谋划策的作用，两头讨好，两方受益。
　　《白宫群英》给人的启示是，不仅以往那种让总统自己驾着飞机拯救全世界的手法已经落伍，从正面歌颂白宫也迷惑不了观众的眼睛。当传媒已颠覆了一切“神化"的可能的时候，与其用连小孩子都不相信的光环来包装总统，倒不如洗掉铅华，用有血有肉的真材猛料赢得公众的支持。

 新超人的故事播出后引起了很大反响，由于强调了其中Clark进入大城市工作以及和Lois的感情故事，并以此为故事主线，再加上新的拍摄手法和科幻成分，它的播出影响了很大一批年轻的观众。在中国，本剧的首次播放时间大约是98至99年期间，并在各个地方台多次播放，受到好评。可惜大陆只引进了第一二季，所以我们对故事情节的了解也只限于Lois不知道Clark的超人身份之前。

　　Season 3: 2001–2002
　　Cast: Rob Lowe, Stockard Channing, Dulé Hill, Allison Janney, Janel Moloney, Richard Schiff, John Spencer, Bradley Whitford and Martin Sheen
　　The third season, which covers the administration's third and fourth years in office, starts off with Bartlet announcing his intention to run for reelection and is heavily devoted to the upcoming presidential election. Other prominent plotlines include Congressional investigations into whether Bartlet committed electoral fraud by concealing his MS, a death threat against C.J. and the ensuing relationship she develops with a Secret Service agent assigned to her, the Qumari defense minister Abdul Shareef plotting terrorist attacks against the US, and a troubling meeting between Toby and the President that leaves Bartlet with a bout of insomnia in "Night Five." The season finale, "Posse Comitatus" closes several of these storylines as Bartlet meets his opponent in the elections and reaffirms his commitment to beat him. The episode ends with the president finally deciding to order Shareef's assassination (a legally questionable act) and C.J.'s agent's murder, just after the man threatening C.J. was caught.
　　From a critical perspective, series creator Aaron Sorkin acknowledged in October 2002 that the terrorism-related plots designed to keep the series relevant after the real-life 9/11 attacks were awkward at times, saying "from week to week, you felt like you were writing the show handcuffed, a little bit. I didn't know how to write it anymore. It was a constant search for what I wasn't doing that used to make the show work. [...] Maybe there was a way to make it work; there probably was. I wasn't able to find it in twenty-two episodes." [1] Nonetheless, the show went on to win its third "Outstanding Drama" Emmy in a row.
