In 2003, creator and shower Aaron Sorkin abruptly left his well -known and award -winning NBC political drama series "The West Wing" after overseeing her four seasons. At that time, the show's estimates were relatively low and discussed production and budget problems. However, Sorkin still stayed in his contract for a year, and Ann -Bi would continue to continue to continue, so the decision might have seemed surprising to some.

In an interview with 2005 with Jayei Rainer of The GuardianSorkin opened up to the departure from the Western wing. One of the things he mentioned was the new deal, which changed his earnings - earlier linked to the show's success - at a flat rate:

"There was no longer a strong incentive to do it well, just efficiently, and I'm not the guy for it."

Another factor contributing to Sorkin, which he named, was the biggest change in the political status quo, especially on the eve of the terrorist attacks on 11.09:

"" After 11.09., We all came out of our minds of ******

The Western wing began working in the late stages of the Bill Clinton presidency, which offered a clear blend with the actions of a fictional democrat president of the show, Edad Bartlett (Martin Sheen) and his administration. However, Sorkin is not alone in thinking that 11.09. Incredibly affects the show. In fact, ahead of Sorkin's departure from the series, an unnamed CEO said. Theujork Times That trying to hold the show took a great toll on the show, to the point that it was understandable that he chose to step down:

"No show on television was hit by the changes made from 11.09. It was a challenge for Aaron to work with the changed zeithyist. He is a brilliant man and incredibly gifted, but he is also very sensitive. The rating has upset him. He was under a huge amount of stress."

Interestingly, Sorkin initially even had no intention of creating the show. Multi-Hifenat admitted that the "West Wing" occurred completely by accident After he inadvertently set up a series of TV producer Johnon Wells during a lunch meeting. When you combine this with the increased challenges and reduce the incentives, it is not a surprise that he has chosen to leave the show behind.

Although he already had film scripts such as "Several Good People" since 1992, 1993 "malice" and the "US President" in 1995 under his script scenario, some of the Aaron Sorkin's best movies (including the "social network" in 2010, which he won an Oscar) was still ahead of him when he gave up the "Western wing". Indeed, the show definitely lost part of its secret sauce when it borrowed its creative juice to other projects. Like /film Ranking every season of "West Wing" Illustrates, the three seasons after Sorkin's departure are significantly worse than the four with which they got involved.
