The third season of "The West Wing" is excellent but not quite as excellent as previous seasons. The stories are perhaps a bit slightly stale and there is a sort of "we've seen this before" feeling. But it's still an excellent set of episodes.

The season starts out almost a month after 9/11 with a special episode. And then we continue with the main theme started at the end of last season: the President running for re-election. Mark Harmon makes a series of guest appearances at the end of the season. I didn't watch the end of the season when it was being aired so it was a bit of a surprise what happened to his character.

Anyways, it's still quite an entertaining set of episodes and well worth watching.
