Commander in Chief

Last summer when LaRue and I were in Portland we started watching this series on NetFlix:



We only had a chance to watch the first 2 or 3 episodes and really enjoyed it. Now we've started watching again from the beginning.

The program first aired in 2005 and was canceled in 2006 after only 18 episodes.

Wikipedia describes the series like this:
Commander in Chief is an American drama television series that focused on the fictional administration and family of Mackenzie Allen (Geena Davis), the first female President of the United States, who ascends to the role from the Vice Presidency after the death of the sitting President from a sudden cerebral aneurysm.

Geena Davis won a Golden Globe award for best actress for her role. And I think Donald Sutherland is great as the Speaker of the House who feels that he should have been chosen to step into the presidency instead of Mackenzie Allen.

If you have NetFlix I would recommend checking out Commander in Chief.

This past weekend LaRue and I drove out to Roy for the Naming and Blessing of Quinley.
