<p>I'm concerned with the same thing, Alummother; despite a drastic decline in quality in the last two seasons, I'm totally hooked on the West Wing. Of course, in my case I have a rabid "Wingnut" friend living at Rutgers twenty minutes away, so perhaps we can manage to keep up between the two of us.</p>
<p>On a more helpful note, can't one roommate just bring a TV? I can't imagine it would detract from studying/social life too much.</p>
