In my quest for the next can’t-miss show I watched Commander in Chief for the first time last night. Sorry. This one’s not going to be it. I couldn’t even get through the whole hour without doing other things at the same time. The characters seem too broadly drawn and I can’t get past West Wing comparisons – and it just doesn’t have the heft of the West Wing. And the plot about the little girl hiding the Gettysburg Address? Puleeeze. The show even made me not like Gina Davis so much.

Bob,
I know this is not going to be popular - but I concur completely.
It is my belief that the show's purpose is to get America used to the idea of a female president, namely Hillary.

I'd be happy to see a female president. But I'd like her to be more like Jed Bartlett.
I think I need to disagree with my friend Stybba. I believe the sole purpose of this show is to make money.
Like I said in my original suggestion, it's cliche, and with the last episode or so, it's starting to fall off of my "must see" list...it was promising, but it's quickly losing it's promise.
