10 TV Shows That Gave Away Spoilers Immediately
8. Told You Zo - The West Wing
A show like The West Wing simply couldn't exist in today's landscape, because real-life politics is far stranger and more dramatic than anything a writer could ever come up with.
Still, during its 1999-2006 run, the show was a huge hit. Created by Aaron Sorkin, the show followed fictional US President Josiah Bartlet (Martin Sheen) and the many ups and downs of his time in the White House.
One of his most horrific ordeals is the kidnapping of his daughter Zoey (Elizabeth Moss) in the show's fourth season. Bartlet shouldn't have been too surprised by this twist though, as he himself foretold it way back in the show's first season.
After Zoey attempts to evade her security detail, Josiah yells at his daughter for not being more careful. He explains in detail just how a kidnapping could go down, and wouldn't you know it, this is exactly how Zoey is abducted three seasons later.
Bartlet even admits that he saw this coming, which doesn't seem like a very wise thing to do. Wanna incriminate yourself any more there, Mr. President?
Ah well, wouldn't be the worst thing a US President has ever done to his daughter...
