Middle East Insight
For the show’s sixth season, they focused almost entirely on the United States relations with the Middle East. In order to get the most authenticity possible, the show actually consulted with the Israeli ambassador at the time. He flew from Washington D.C. to Los Angeles and even visited the set, meeting with various cast and crew. He also took time to fully explain the details of Israel and their relationship with the United States which obviously helped immensely in crafting the season. The season was quite poignant and of course reflected real life, particularly in a post- 9/11 United States.
