Commander In Chief

We were all prepared to dislike Commander In Chief. More American propoganda, woo hoo.

But Geena Davis is so darn likeable. She's like a big presidential puppy that you just want to scratch behind her ears. Plus you are all sympathetic about her over the first episode. As the president lays dying, he tells his VEEP that while she is the first female vice-president ever, it was a stunt and she should resign before he kicks it. Then he dies before she does and she has the choice to take office or let it fall to the next guy, a warmongering jackass who thinks women are basically useless and who will stoop to the lowest trickery to get his way.

So she takes the office. Go little presidential puppy!

Looks like we're in for several episodes of her trying to keep her head above water, and then we'll probably go right into election mode (technically, she has a year and a half left in her term). Both plots sound boring to me, but we'll see.
