The West Wing was satisfying because for most of its run the very opposite of Jed Bartlett was in the real West Wing. Now we don't need the fantasy, unless the heroic liberal president in a new show will whip out a light saber and duel with Glenn Beck.
Linda Bloodworth and HarryThomason tried something kind of similar around the beginning of the Clinton administration, but by the third season, the three stars had moved to Arkansas to run a newspaper.
@ampersandparade:
That website is little dizzying, but thanks.
Oh, and you want to know something kind of funny? I haven't watched Hearts Afire since it first aired, but I've referenced it when talking about Billy Bob and included it in a blogpost almost three years ago, when I was paying tribute to Conchata Ferrell.
So, yeah, it ended-up being a better show at the end than it was in the beginning, once they had left the politics behind, but obviously, it still made some kind of impression on me.
Can we just be done with Lisa Cuddy already? She is just a Mary Jane character for producer Katie Jacobs. And since Katie just got to have pretend sex with House, can we just stop the charade already? Bring back the good House, the great House, the House I fell in love with. Enough of this soap opera shit.
@apocalypse-nowish: I think the show's producers and writers are bored with what made the show great. There are only so many permutations of oddly-colored puke and urine, orifices that bleed, "defibs", and quirky personality traits for the patients. They're reaching to do "more," whatever that is. I fear the show is going to mutate into ER with more humor or Gray's Anatomy with less sex, neither of which sounds very appealing.
Dear Lord. If there's another season of Smallville can they kill everyone at the CW for the crazed unending of this show? Seriously. If Tom Welling (CW's Superman hostage) doesn't somehow blow up the soundstage I'd be surprised. I've never seen a bigger case of TV show impotence. It's really laughable the many, many, reasons they come up with to keep Superman in Smallville. I get it. The show is about the town Superman is from, not about Metropolis, not about getting into Christopher Reeve (RIP, Supe.) "tights and flights" territory, but enough is just damn enough!
Sexfire? Richard, I love you. That reminds of the dude who was parked in front of my block at 10am on Saturday belting out Sex on Fire on his radio, and singing along to "YOUR SEX IS ON FIIIIRE!!!" at top volume until I peeped out the window and he sped off. Who was he singing to, I still wonder?
The Desperate Housewives death already happened - Edie Britt/Nicolette Sheridan's car crash/electrocution.
I wish they would bump off her psycho husband...they dragged out his story so long, and changed his target so many times, I don't care anymore who he tries to kill.
Please, please, please, just kill everybody on Grey's. I peed myself I was so happy when Meredith "died" last season. Suggestion: a nuclear apocalypse would make for a clean break, and would be more realistic than half the far-fetched accident scenarios they've tried already. Then next season could be show after show of gorgeous, gorgeous post-apocalyptic silence. Sigh...

How about a Hung spinoff? Apparently the dicks are big and swinging in the D.C.
