Commander in Chief (2005–2006)
10/10
how many male TV executives does it take to kill a show about a female president?

I'm watching the apparent final episode of Commander in Chief. I've watched all of them I think. You can lose track when the rhythm of regular time slots is tampered with as much as it is these days. Still, even with the cavalier treatment this show received, I found it informative, thoughtful and engaging.

Occasionally I would become confused in thinking that Geena's character only seemed so superior when contrasted to the pompous ass played by Donald Sutherland. Still, I would recover and recognize that what is being contrasted in this show is raw power versus service. Wonderful lessons to be learned here.

It is somewhat ironic that on this, the last evening of this show, the AFI institute is honoring the top 100 inspirational films. Commander in Chief was nothing less then a topical and inspirational drama, cut way too early. They should have at least given her a second term.
