OT- Commander in Chief

Lathum · 08-08-2005, 08:05 PM

Does anyone not think this show is gonna be a steaming pile of dog poop?

Joe · 08-08-2005, 08:07 PM

not I

Logan · 08-08-2005, 08:11 PM

I'm really not sure how to approach this double negative, so I'll just say:

I think this show will suck, and I won't watch it to even see if I'm right.

EDIT: I was always of the opinion that one day, we would have a woman be President of this country. After seeing how ridiculous Geena Davis looks as President, I'm positive it just will never happen.

QuikSand · 08-08-2005, 08:18 PM

It looks dreadful to me.

Swaggs · 08-08-2005, 08:53 PM

Worse than the blind detective show?

Draft Dodger · 08-08-2005, 08:56 PM

is that the one with Benjamin Bratt in a uniform? because I wont be, but my wife is pretty much locked in

Honolulu_Blue · 08-08-2005, 09:03 PM

Yes. It looks horrible this show. Not even Donald Sutherland can save this show. Though perhaps they could get his son onboard and kick some cool "24" action mid-season.

That's all right. I don't need any new shows. I have plenty on my TiVO plate for this year:
House
Gilmore Girls (the wife likes it)
Lost (loving this)
"24" (come January)
CSI

You throw sports (NFL/NHL) and NFL/NHL related shows (NLF Live, Total Access, NHL 2Night (if it will still exist), and PTI) and that's more than enough (way more actually) TV for me.

I think that is a movie.

well. whatever it is, I plan to be around after she watches it.

I went to college with one of the semi-lead chicks in the show (not Geena Davis).

You should rent Catwoman for her. That should knock the Bejamin Bratt right out of her.

Tigercat · 08-08-2005, 10:49 PM

I saw a commercial of this with Donald Sutherland saying that the presidency is for people who want the power to control the universe. The quote made the the show seem like a cartoon version of the West Wing.

Eaglesfan27 · 08-08-2005, 10:59 PM

Yeah, my thoughts as well Tigercat. I won't be checking this one out.

sabotai · 08-09-2005, 01:34 AM

I won't be watching either. It'll be just another short lived drama based entirely around a gimmick (like the before mentioned blind cop show, although I dunno if that's been given the axe yet or not).

Ragone · 08-09-2005, 04:33 AM

What no love for the equally awful Numb3r5!

WrongWay · 08-09-2005, 04:39 AM

And what is with all the science fiction Earthbound shows?

If I have seen the adds correctly you have invaders from outer space on one network and invaders from the ocean on another Network.

BTW-- Anyone who goes to see The Dukes of Hazard sober should be barred from entering your house.

I think all these shows are trying to be the new the "Lost." Lost was a successful "supernatural" show and "The 4400" has been pretty successful (for a cable show) and TV, like so much else in the entertainment industry, is all about the copycat.

CraigSca · 08-09-2005, 06:04 AM

You know, I've never been a Geena Davis fan. The people that say she's attractive I think are insane (on par with the people who think Molly Ringwald is hot). That being said, she hasn't aged well - it's as if her bottom lip has continued to grow while the rest of her body stays the same.

Yes, I do think this show will be a steaming pile of poo.

stevew · 08-09-2005, 06:40 AM

I'll be incredibly shocked if it lasts out a full season. If for some reason it has a full season contract, they will surely burn it off next summer.

While age hasn't been kind to Geena (at all really), I think she was attractive and don't consider myself insane. Watch "Long Kiss Goodnight" or "Cutthroat Island" (if you can bear it). I think she looks pretty good in those. She's certainly not your traditional beauty.

Geena Davis is a dog. So is Molly Ringwald.
