A final slap in the face to the West Wing, or something else?

Aaron Barnhart over at TV Barn wonders why NBC isn't showing the West Wing retrospective this Sunday (as you've probably heard, they're running the pilot episode instead). Barnhart is trying to find out from someone at NBC what happened to the one hour special, but they haven't called him back yet. He does, however, think it's one final slap in the face to the show and to the fans that made it a hit.
Bradley Whitford: The TV Squad Interview

I always cringe a bit when I interview a celebrity whose work I admire. I'm always afraid that they're going to turn out to be a jerk, or they hate me for some reason, or I'll find out they're into terrible things, like torturing puppies or watching Wife Swap. Thankfully, I've only found out once in twenty years that a celebrity I loved on the screen was a really terrible person (and no, I'm not going to tell you who it is). My lucky streak continues with Bradley Whitford, ex-Deputy Chief of Staff Josh Lyman on The West Wing, guest star on one of ER's best episodes ("Love's Labor Lost"), guest star on most TV shows since the mid 80s, and star of Aaron Sorkin"s new fall series, Studio 60. Whitford is an extremely nice, friendly, classy guy, I'm happy to report.And I found out that Bradley Whitford is a lot like Josh Lyman, except for ... well, I'll let him explain that.
Yes, still more West Wing news!

- Aaron Sorkin and Tommy Schlamme will not be returning.
- Producers are talking with Rob Lowe about coming back as Sam Seaborn. It all depends on whether he has the time.
