ABC deserves an extra-special award this year for taking a show that was a ratings champ and critical darling all the way to cancellation in record time.
Any thoughts?

How did this happen? I don't watch tv, but from what I heard people loved this show and it was doing well. Didn't she win an Emmy or something?

low ratings and poor performance in the 18-45 demo according to the la times (and city news service).
cinc ratings tumble

In my opinion, this was one of the best shows this season. I think that all of the actors did a superb job. Perhaps the American public is still not ready for a female president.

I thought Geena Davis was excellent, and I tried very early on to get into this show, but it never happened for me.

This show was no West Wing. Just could not get into it. Maybe this will bring bigger and better things for Ms. Davis.

RIP West Wing, and Commander-in-Chief

i think that's the point the repugs would like to make -- however -- does the success of 24 mean that america is ready for an african american president? i think that it had more to do with poor planning and non-support from the network. ABC is not my favorite commercial enterprise -- as they are owned by disney.

no, the success of 24 has more to do with the majority of americans' willingness and, in fact, desire to torture and maim terrorists and those who assist them. that and they just can't get enough of keifer's whisper it once and then scream it delivery of every single effin' line. do you understand? do you understand?

I thought that this was a bad West Wing rip off. However Geena Davis and Donlad Sutherland were great in their roles.
