Coming in November: the Jimmy Smits/Alan Alda live debate!

Smits and AldaNow, this is a great idea: NBC will air a live episode of The West Wing in November. The episode will be a live Presidential debate between Vinick and Santos.

This is great because a debate format automatically lends itself to a live format: it will be one stage, so they won't have to have multiple sets and crazy timing, and even the "look" of a live show means that the debate will look like an actual debate. I hate when a TV show is supposed to show something that is "live" but they film it the same way as the rest of the episode, so it still looks taped on film. The show made their last debate, the one between Bartlet and Richie, look live, and now they can do an entire episode like that. I'm really looking forward to this.
