I have just finished watching the entire West Wing over here in England. Enjoyed every single episode but this one with Big Bird in It is my best every episode. I still laugh out loud every time I see it. Thanks America for a wonderful series.
i love the very beginning when people are walking around big bird like seeing him at the white houswe is an everyday thing. nobody questions it when he sits next to cj.
@sweetp86 I believe I found an answer, according Allison Janney's biography in IMBD it says that she's 6 feet tall, 2 feet shorter than Big Bird's height and Big Bird's height is 8 feet tall, so therefore Big Bird is the tallest.
How did Big Bird ger clearance from thje secret service to get into the WH? I mean, BB basically has no fixed address, lives on the street in a nest in a vacant lot but not even a mailing address. Best friend we don't even know where he lives-just shows up.
Let's not forget another of his best friends who is the litteral deffinition of an illegal alien... and of course the accusations that two others are gay. He'd be CJ's PR nightmare... then add to it all the jokes she gets. BB's lucky she didn't swat him with her purse.
Ummm.... ok so you don't remember her code name with the secret service or the episode where they were calling her a basket ball champion, lesbian, etc? Or maybe you just like to snark things for giggles...
Sorry. Anyways....this was the episode where Abby was going on Sesame St for P.R. after her suspension and Elmo asks her if she has a medical license....
aaah i pretty much died laughing at every big bird/allison janney joke throughout the episode. particularly charlie haha! i still giggle every time i think about this scene -- thanks for uploading!
I think half the point of this sight gag is due to some Season 5 comments that continually alude to CJ being Big Bird compared to other people because she's so tall. The other half is cause it's Big Bird ^.^

As always, Caroll Spinney's comedic timing is superb.

And one of his best friend, lives in a garbage bin. I mean, doesn't checking security background involve checking your closest friend as well???

Abbey Bartlet plays doctor on Sesame Street in this epi. She is giving Elmo a check up in an effort to soften up her public image.

As much as I love Sorkin...the west wing still rocked after he left. Way better than anything else on t.v.

that was very smart IMHO. I couldn't resist and kept watching...now the series has a tarnish in my eyes, I should've just stuck to seasons 1-4

While TWW doesn't do a lot of visual gags, the few they do (like this one) are hilarious!

this is too much. big bird is moving his head a little (probably cuz it's heavy) and it looks like he's dancing to a song only he hears. excellent.

How come Big Bird didn't speak in this? I was expecting that!
