Keith Carradine sings!

[htnorris-618-165492 · 10/10 · 18 November 2019]

Keith gave a pretty good performance on guitar and vocals, really quite good. I was taken back when comparing this to a performance his brother David gave at the Willie Nelson's 1974 4th of July Picnic at the World Speedway in College Station, TX. Apparently he had aspirations of becoming a country western singer following his highly successful TV series Kung Fu. He was terrible! People began leaving in droves, I mean DROVES!

Diminishing the Role

[lisa-45760 · 6/10 · 5 November 2019]

I've always enjoyed watching this show. The actors do a good job and the writers bring attention to many current issues. TV shows are becoming so political at times trying to influence people. An individual has to remember to understand entertainment & not take everything at face value. Now that the lead character has been elected President I'm so distracted by the wardrobe of Tea Leoni and some of the staging of the props. Really, portraying a woman President does she have to wear blouses with a tie around her neck. Please does a female President have to be shown wearing a tie like a male President. This is just demeaning & ridiculous.

Felt off message

As a progressive left Democrat, I've always felt that this show straddled center intentionally, while being unaware of its moderate to right leanings. I'm not one to boycott entertainment based on politics, but this episode angered me. Were the writers confused and angry over Trump's impeachment at the time? At first, throughout seasons 5-6, I thought "Oh, the writers are flipping the script to inspire open-mindedness and unity. How clever!" Then, they ruin the dark-skinned black woman's character - totally obliterate an always loyal team player (and dye her hair blonde, too), while blatantly comparing her to the Trump campaign (using Iran instead of Russia). What? Then, they finish the episode with Madam President donning a bright red blazer. Subtle. This reminds me of The Colbert Report when everyone pretended it was an ironic joke, but now it's not that funny. Make up your mind CBS. You're not ABC - we count on an unambiguous message. All I can say is, the last few episodes better explain.
