Commander in Chief on ABC

[cynatnite]

Okay, the premise is a tough one to buy. The pres is a republican and VP is an independent plus a woman to boot. Hard one to swallow, IMO.

Pres wants VP to resign so the speaker will get the job. He tells her he won't resign until she does.

Geena Davis' character is so far liberal sounding, but it's still early to say. She wants to save a woman in another country from being stoned to death.

[chalky]

1. So far, so interesting.

We'll see how it goes....

[cynatnite]

2. WMD-gate...

:rofl:

[Eric J in MN]

36. yeah, I liked that line (nt)

nt

[Seen the light]

22. Why do they get such smart and charismatic presidents only on TV?

[zbdent]

47. Well, there was one in the WH from 1993-2001

edited to add

and there was a relatively smart one from 1989-1993

and there was a charismatic one from 1981-1989

and there was a smart one from 1977-1981

and . . . um . . . well, you have Gerald Ford . . .

I'm going to stop there . . .

[Cleita]

3. If they have good writers it probably will be a good show.

I will tune in to see if I want to watch it again. I like the premise of a woman President. It could open the possibilities for the real thing in the near future.

[buzzard]

9. That is what I am waiting to see, West Wing was extremely will written

and directed and great lighting. I hope this is half as good.

[chalky]

4. Well, we've just met our "Tom Delay".

Certainly seems sinister enough.

[cynatnite]

5. I was thinking Cheney n/t

[chalky]

7. Yeah...Delay's title, but Cheney's air of menace. n/t

[Eric J in MN]

the Donald Sutherland character also reminds me more of

Tom DeLay than Dennis Hastert, even though the character is the Speaker of the House.

[erinlough]

6. If it even opens the door

for people to start thinking of a strong woman president it will be good enough for me.

[October]

8. Agreed! /nt

[highplainsdem]

10. So far I like it.

[chalky]

12. I'm with you. I can already tell that Donald Southerland character will

be the character I'll love to hate this year.

[Seen the light]

14. Love his character

Great villain.

[cynatnite]

15. Donald Sutherland does evil so well

He must've studied a little bit of DeLay, Cheney and Robertson to perfect the part. :evilgrin:

[Lisa]

45. that line "I'll always be behind you" was perfect

Just the right note of ambiguity there!

[lildreamer316]

11. Can I go live in TV land now?

Sorry for the theatrics, but she almost made me cry just seeing a fictional woman being sworn in as POTUS. Damn.........

[erinlough]

13. me too!

I didn't realize how much I want a woman president before I go.

[lildreamer316]

18. At this rate

I am hoping my son will see it.(I'm 32) Feels like I should wear my Medieval Reenactment wear every day; you know?

[Lisa]

46. agree with you there ... some days the news feels like 1098 ...

Brutal leaders screaming about crusades in the Holy Land, and the serfs following them blindly. I have a replica Norman helmet perched on top of my TV cabinet, and most of the time when CNN is running, it looks entirely appropriate.

[Piperay]

26. I'm not watching

for that very reason, it would be too painful seeing something that isn't going to happen here for decades if ever. :-(

[11 Bravo]

16. OK, that was the first "Fist in the air and yell, 'YEAH', moment.

[erinlough]

21. Hilarious I did the same thing.....yeah!!!!! n/t

[cynatnite]

17. It's official: I'm a fan!

She's ready to kick ass and doesn't take a lot of crap. :headbang:

[lildreamer316]

20. Seconded. I'm in.

I think Geena is sexy anyway........sorry. I can say that, right? I'm a woman.......:evilgrin:

[erinlough]

25. You, fellow woman, may say whatever you will. n/t

[dsc]

19. If I hear Hillary had x or did x and that didn't go over well

one more time I might scream.

[cynatnite]

23. That was killing me

I wanted to muzzle the woman like no other.

[lildreamer316]

24. You know that IS intended as

a backwards slam on the RW (wanting everything the way it always has been). Pretty funny.

[RepublicanElephant]

27. bill clinton teleprompter moment!

classic!

[don954]

30. the dirty dricks begin! never turn your back on a republican, even on TV

from the prevew, looks like they are just getting warmed up on dirty tricks...

[serryjw]

43. ..and a daughter that wants Pat Buchanan to be President

that was precious. Whom is going to plan the State Dinners?

[highplainsdem]

28. Love the speech she gave.

[cynatnite]

29. A humble president...

It was very well done.

[ourbluenation]

31. Go to the show's board PLEASE!!!!

I'm holding down the fort on the Jimmy Kimmel Board - political debates all the time. I've often said that the nations political consiousness will turn, talking one neighbor to another over a fence, at a time...same thing goes for boards. Internet fences...

[ourbluenation]

32. Nevermind..sticking with the kimmel board. Chief b oard looks lame...eom

[erinlough]

34. went and looked, taking a bath now, what a bunch of freeps n/t

[ourbluenation]

35. I know - there always attempting to cluster f*ck me on the kimmel

board - unsuccessfully I might add...

[SaveAmerica]

33. I was almost in tears at the end, is it too much to ask to have a

president who feels like that? they should have saved the commercials for the end though.

[Nashyra]

37. Funny I thought Geena Davis was a Rupuke

I most definetly could be wrong, but I thought that I read somewhere that Geena Davis gave her contributions to the repuke party? If she in fact is, that is an interesting part she is playing.

[cynatnite]

38. Her character is an independent...

The repuke pres picked her because she would give him the woman's vote which would win him the WH.

[Eric J in MN]

40. No, Geena Davis donated to John Kerry and Emily's List.

[Nashyra]

44. Thank you

I apologize, glad to hear it, and thanks for the link. I can sleep better tonight:)

[Digit]

39. I loved the show

Her character is compassionate, capable and intelligent.
What a contrast to what we have now, huh.

[PennyK]

41. Well, I really liked it

She has an "Alex P. Keaton" daughter...who would prefer that Pat Buchanan be the president rather than her mom!

[2Design]

42. loved this show n/t
