	Commander in Chief
		"Commander in Chief" stars Geena Davis as MacKenzie Allen, a university chancellor and a former independent member of Congress, who had been picked for the vice presidency mainly to enhance the chances of the head of the ticket, Teddy Roosevelt Bridges (guest star Will Lyman).
		Nonetheless, it's hard to escape into the world of "Commander in Chief" knowing how glib it is concerning the complicated universe it is supposed to represent.
		Although it would be extraordinary for any series to match the level of political complexity and realism of "The West Wing," this one barely tries.

	'Commander in Chief' off air until spring AccessAtlanta
		'Commander in Chief' creator Rod Lurie, shown with star Geena Davis at ABC's summer press tour, was replaced by veteran TV man Steven Bochco after Lurie delivered late episodes.
		On the back lot of Raleigh Studios, where "Commander" is shot on an elaborate series of sets re-creating both the White House and the interior of Air Force One, those involved in the show admit there have been problems but are trying to put the best possible spin on the downturn.
		The issues had to do with Lurie, who had created the series after exploring similar themes about women in politics with the film "The Contender." Lurie tried to direct, write and produce most of the early episodes, an almost impossible task on a TV series.

	The Sunnye Side of the Web: The West Wing vs Commander in Chief
		And there have been others but, interestingly, not nearly as many in the three years or so of episodes that I've watched as there were in the first episode of the new TV series "Commander In Chief."
		"Commander In Chief" is, however, a thinly veiled (she was mentioned by name more than five times in the first episode) apologist for Hillary Clinton's candidacy in 2008.
		In "Commander In Chief" we can get an idea of what it would mean to America if we let modern feminists loose in the White House.

	The Week Magazine
		Commander in Chief “feels less like a drama than a paid political message.” In that grand Hollywood tradition of The West Wing’s Jed Bartlet, Davis’ President Mackenzie Allen is a walking, talking liberal fantasy—smart, decisive, and dedicated to doing the right thing.
		Still, ABC’s much-hyped Commander in Chief is already generating speculation in the political world that if “popular culture” is ready for a woman in the Oval Office, then the political culture may be, too.
		Commander in Chief may turn out to be only slightly ahead of its time.

	Commander In Chief (ABC) - Reviews from Metacritic
		ABC's 'Commander In Chief' portrays perfectly the many aspects of the political challenges involved with the position of president.
		While not quite the out-of-the-gate obvious hit that “The West Wing” was, ["Commander In Chief"] has enough going for it that it may soon become America’s favorite soap opera about a president of the United States.
		But “Commander in Chief” really does make things look too easy.

	Power Line: Sinking Like A Stone
		One of this year's most heralded television series was ABC's Commander In Chief, starring Geena Davis.
		I'm not about to pose as a TV critic; not only have I never seen Commander In Chief, I've never seen any show now appearing on television, other than news, sports, HGTV, What Not To Wear and American Idol.
		Commander In Chief’s Geena Davis may have walked away with the Best Actress in a Drama award during Monday’s Golden Globes, but among the American voting public she's sliding in the opinion polls that matter most, the ratings.

	REVIEW / FALL TV SEASON / Will 'Commander' help Hillary? Who cares? It's just a good show.
		While "Commander in Chief" had a modicum of buzz among critics, the fact is no drama among the fall previews stood out.
		I was initially mixed about "Commander in Chief" -- mostly because of Davis -- but it's clear now there's a great deal more substance here and more material for a pro like Lurie to mine.
		"Commander In Chief" may be this season's best dark-horse drama.

	Blogcritics.org: TV Review: Commander-in-Chief: Only Slightly Believable
		It's bothersome to me that someone who plays a powerful politician in a TV series is all of a sudden blessed with the wisdom to be granted an international audience.
		With only two years until the next election, as the plot for ABC's Commander in Chief (Tuesdays-9 pm) would have us believe, and with no chance for re-election, these two odd bedfellows could change the world with no mind to politics and the burden of campaigning.
		It's obvious that the former First Lady, Grace Bridges, is going to play a part in this series.

	Commander in Chief
		While watching game 6 tonight, I saw a preview for a new series this fall called "Commander in Chief", starring Gena Davis as President of the US.
		She'll be a strong leader (the name of the series implies it, but there is another reason why...) and a "good" democratic president (a la "The West Wing"), meaning a strong, good leader who makes tough decisions and acts tough when necessary.
		TV shows are first and foremost, written for profit.
