Well, some Republicans loved The West Wing, but I think it's safe to say that the bulk of the audience was moderates-liberals. People are generally more sensitive about religion than they are about politics, and I'm sure that a lot of Christians don't mind a jab here or there, but the Christian stuff has been such a heavy focus in the last two episodes that I wonder if people will be turned off by it. I know that no one in my family except me and my very liberal and non-religious cousin will watch S60, both because they don't like anti-Christian stuff and because they're not fond of the "Hollywood liberal" culture, etc. Hell, even Heather Havrilesky at Salon gave the show a pretty negative review because she finds the writers to be too self-important, so I worry that the show might lose middle America. But of course, I'm really hoping it doesn't because I love the show.
