libertango...but LA City Councilmen are forever.
No, wait, wrong lead.
Anyway... Dave Winer points to this AP report at the WaPo site that NBC is cancelling The West Wing.
Key paragraphs:
""The West Wing" announcement wasn't much of a surprise. Although this season's story line with a presidential campaign involving a Democrat played by Jimmy Smits and Republican portrayed by Alan Alda has been strong critically, ratings have sunk with its move to Sunday nights.
The decision to cancel it was made before actor John Spencer, who played former presidential chief of staff Leo McGarry, died of a heart attack Dec. 16, said Kevin Reilly, NBC entertainment president.
...
The series finale will be May 14, preceded by a one-hour retrospective. The campaign to replace the fictional Josiah Bartlet as president will be settled, NBC said.
Producers Aaron Sorkin and Thomas Schlamme, who created the show and guided it through its early years, will not be involved in the finale, Reilly said."
So... Anyone here in Seattle who has a working cable/TV feed willing to host a wrap party that night? :)

Bummer about those who are allergic to cats, though.
