And there's still a hell of a ride left.

***SPOILER***

Aaron Sorkin, the show's creator and head writer, left after the fourth season. The quality of the writing went down substantially after that. Watch Seasons 5-7 if you want to. I watched them through once, never again, and simply pretend they don't exist.
