3. Isn't "CIC" a midseason replacement? They may not have enough shows
or Geena Davis may have had other commitments ... just a thought.

11. No, it's not a mid season replacement and it's in major trouble
It started out as ABC's flagship drama of the season, and they promoed it very widely. It began with high ratings and quickly fell out of the top ten. It's had one major staff change and one major cast change and now it's been put on "hiatus".

It's a show that's in major trouble.

5. do you actually like it or are you being sarcastic?
The dialogue starting sounding as if it were meant as comedy. I was surprised Geena Davis agreed to do it. Has the show improved beyond the gee whiz wide eyed stage?...We tried to watch the first two episodes...BAD TV. Unfortunately it's nothing like the west wing, which actually sounds high brow comparatively speaking.

6. i actually find the dialogue to be the weakest part of the show
it's pretty wooden, if you ask me. not much personality to it.

7. Bloody hell yeah..
I watched the first 8 episodes. I really wanted to like it but I just think it's not a very good show. The kids are whiny, especially the youngest, who is irritating to the point of nausea, the "family life" problem is stereotypical, and I just don't buy any of the characters as being realistic. I really did try to like it but my heart is with The West Wing.

8. the scenes with the kids are really cloying and unrealistic
the youngest is 6, and acts like she's 3. The older daughter has a bug up her ass for no reason. And the son is just plain boring.

9. I KNOW! I was very disappointed tonight too!
YES, I like the show! I liked West Wing better, but I sure couldn't see Jed being replaced by ANYONE else and have the show still be as good!

I look forward to it being a new episode next week!!!

10. C'mon face it, it is a badly executed rip-off of West Wing
written and produced by one of the worst hacks in Hollywood, Rod Lurie. I'd love to see it done well, but as it is, it's just boring.
