NEW YORK -- May 7, 2004 -- This Memorial Day, celebrate your patriotism with Bravo's "The West Wing" viewer's choice marathon. Bravo will count down the top ten most requested episodes of the Oval Office drama starting at 2 p.m. Monday, May 31, and continuing on until the airing of the most widely requested episode, which will air at 11 p.m., "The West Wing's" regularly scheduled air-time.

Viewers can vote for their top picks on Bravo's website, www.bravotv.com, starting Monday, May 10. They will be able to select their five favorite episodes from the first four seasons of the critically acclaimed show, although they may have a hard time choosing: "The West Wing" is the winner of four consecutive Emmy Awards for Outstanding Drama Series, as well as a Peabody Award for Excellence in Television, five Golden Globe nominations and one Golden Globe Award for Best Drama Series and three Television Critics Association Awards. Polls close on May 26, but results will not be posted. The only way to know which episodes come out on top is to watch.

"The West Wing" depicts the dedicated men and women who work at The White House, serving their country through times and crises that mirror our own, and providing a fascinating inner glimpse of life inside the world’s most powerful office. Each episode brims with the acclaimed performances of the ensemble cast and a brisk dramatic pace that galvanizes the viewer. The series stars Martin Sheen, John Spencer, Bradley Whitford, Richard Schiff, Allison Janney, Dule Hill, Janel Moloney and Stockard Channing.
