I'll always believe that this show would still be on the air if Hillary wasn't running for President. The writing was excellent. The acting was excellent as evidence by emmy nominations for both Donald Sutherland and Gena Davis (Gena actually winning). It's obvious that ABC tried to kill off the series. ABC put the series on hiatus, replacing it with a ridiculous sitcom that lasted a couple weeks. Then when CIC was brought back it was placed in the same time slot against E.R. and Without A Trace. Are network producers really that incompetent? Sounds very suspicious....almost as if someone didn't want a female president portrayed in such a positive light. It's also suspicious that another network didn't pick it up.
This was the best TV series. It was suspenseful and kept you on the edge of your seat. It gave me a good look into what a President faces, not just running the country and making life and death decisions, but the criticism and the party bull hockey and the favors and games that are played. What I disliked most wass that it only ran for one season and didn't have any closure. I decided to buy the DVD because I knew it would be something I'd watch over and over. I don't buy DVD's that I wouldn't want to watch more than a couple times. Anyway, I highly recommend it. There were great story plots and there were always a few stories going on along with the main theme. A GREAT watch!
This was yet another great show which really never got a fair chance. It was shuffled around to three different days and times, and often was pre-empted. It was also put on hiatus for many weeks at a time. It was probably a little too high-brow for many - the certain kiss of death. I'm really not sure why this DVD set was released(since the networks apparently gave up on it months ago) but I'm glad it was. I'll file it with my copies of "Mr. Sterling" and the new "Fugitive", two other superior shows killed in the prime of life. I guess most folks were getting their intellectual challenge from "Survivor", "American Idol", and reruns of "Jackass". Very Sad!!
To bad the network folded under political pressure to cancel this show. One of the best to come across the airways in a very long time. Brings to light things that happen, or could happen, to a real president. Brings to broad daylight the viciousness that the politicians have toward each other, I'm sure they don't like that and is probably one of the reasons they wanted the show canceled. As to it having an agenda to push a certain senator from NY to the front of the public, nah, they're nothing alike. Ones power hungry, the one in the show is public service minded and the heck with what the public thinks. Just do the right thing.
I enjoyed watching 'Commander in Chief' series on Hulu and wanted to add it to my library. F
