Martin Sheen looks into the audience with John Wells, “The West Wing” executive producer, in the background during the NBC 2006 Winter Press Tour, Sunday, Jan. 22, in Pasadena, Calif. This is the show’s final season.

NBC, struggling to regain its footing after the worst season in its history, also outlined several midseason schedule changes—including the moving of popular dramas “Law & Order” and “Las Vegas.” | story
