Isn't it, though? We rented it a while back and the whole experiences was quite bizarre. I can't decide whether the weirdest bit about it was the Alison Janney or the Martin Sheen character.
It was like West Wing from an alternate universe...except that West Wing is already an alternate universe. The funny thing is, I think the TV cast is better than the film cast. Particularly Michael Douglas, who still manages to seem sleazy. Ick.
There was an episode of Farscape where the characters all got shuffled around, mixing up personalities and appearances. This was just like that. Except set in the white house, and with less actual muppets. :)
Frankly, the only White House experience stranger, is to have the longevity of seeing the same faces, years later, in various new political roles as fortunes (and loyalties) shift between the parties.
