j0nes 0 #1 August 15, 2005 I recently saw a tv ad for a new tv show (CBS?) called Commander in Chief where Geena Davis is the Vice President and somehow will assume the Presidency. Has anyone else seen this ad and thinks it's a thinly veiled attempt to get the U.S. tv-loving population to accept a female President? How about the name... Commander in Chief? Anyone else find it ironic they chose a military-esque name for the show? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd think that Geraldine Ferraro's candidacy for VP in 1984 (however unsuccessful) established it as a possibility b. it's a friggin' TV show. They also have TV shows about aliens, people living on desert island playing Machiavellian games, and talking horses Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it.

No. There have been at least half a dozen made-for-TV movies that had a female president. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everon 0 #7 August 15, 2005 I think you're reading too much into this. TV is all about ratings, and this show would certainly appeal to at least half of the country . The title adds just that much more appeal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're just following the trend. Welcome back, Tuna!

This TV show is obviously a way to help people like women presidents! it is so clear that whenever something comes up on TV, it HAS to be based TOTALLY in reality. And the name? I seem to recall, and correct me if I am wrong, but SOME people refer to the PResident of this country as "Commander in Chief." Some people.Why yes, my license number is a palindrome.
