This week on TV Party, Allison and Clint are joined by two of TV Party's finest Cabinet members (Kate Kulzick and Caroline Siede) to kick off our new recurring segment on perfect, ambitious episodes of television, You Get Hoynes!We couldn't very well do this segment without celebrating the episode it was named after - The West Wing's spellbinding season two finale, "Two Cathedrals." From Martin Sheen's bravura speech to God in the National Cathedral, to the flashbacks of young Jed Bartlett's relationship with the recently-passed Mrs, Landingham, to the ongoing question of whether Jed will seek a second term, it's a masterful hour of Peak Aaron Sorkin television we take great pleasure in discussing in detail - presumably while continuously walking down the halls of CPN Studios.

Deep in the bowels of CPN Studios, there lies a chamber only the greatest TV characters can enter – the funniest, the grumpiest, the maddest visages the television medium has to offer. There, we honor the breakout comic relief, the magnetically flawed protagonist, the one-time guest character...
