    I don't know about anyone else, but his character makes the show a little more interesting (especially the holding hands scene at dinner)!

  • Election '08: The End of CiC

    {rant} It just disgusts me! The more I think about it, the more furious I become, because with the way the election is shaping up (a female and an African-American), it only furthers my belief that CiC was not canceled due to ratings (obviously people were watching, Golden Globe win and EmmyMore nomination anyone?), it was canceled because of a political agenda! :evil: {/rant}

  • Oh well...that's it...the helmet haired lady has finally sung! ABC Pulls CiC

    ABC has announced (zap2it) that CIC will be pulled from the schedule for the rest of sweeps with 3 episodes left unaired. They may air them in the summer but nothing is certain. Although we may get them on iTunes at some point. After the success of last seasons new shows, ABC still have a handleMore on how to kill a very promising and highly rated show. With Invasion also looking a bit ropey, ABC have not managed to find any new dramas (that they haven't killed) that will get a sophomore season. Even FOX (the show killer) have managed to make 2 dramas, and a couple of hopefull comedies - ABC has done OK with Freddie but that's all I can think of. A very poor showing indeed for ABC. At least they managed not to kill Grey's Anatomy.

    Bring this show back please! One of the best shows ever! hide show

    I just love watching every minute of this show! And I have never seen a better ensemble on TV than this show's ensemble. Geena Davis and Donald Sutherland says it all. And it really gives me pain knowing that this show was canceled. And it didn't have a well deserve ending. One of the rare substantial shows on TV! I have never watched a series with better cast, storyline and etc! Everything about it was just unique and just great! And that says it all!

    This show deserves a comeback! even if for at least 1 season more or few episodes. Just give this show the ending it so deserves.

    Bring It Back! Sign the petition at http://www.gopetition.com/online/12050.html hide show

    Bring It Back! This is one of the best shows ever. It was entertaining, and it was smart. Fight to bring it back for a new season or at least a TV movie. As Mackenzie Allen once said, "There is too much work left to do, there is too much unfinished business. We will keep our hands to the plough, because I ask you. If not us, who? If not now, when?" Tell all your friends to sign the petition too, and post bulletins all over the web. I already added the link all over the CiC Wikipedia page.

    What a shame that it got cancelled due to some other show which came on, on another network halfway through Commander in Chief!
    It was ahead of its time, but NOW it is the time to bring it back! hide show

    Please bring this show back! What a shame that it got cancelled due to some other show which came on, on another network halfway through Commander in Chief!
    It was ahead of its time, but NOW it is the time to bring it back!
    From its first chapter till its cancellation, it was a fantastic, very realistic show!
    I know so many people that were as in love with Commander in Chief as our family was.
    What does it take to request of you for its return? You can redo it with McCain and Sarah Palin now, and what a success it will be!

    Commander in Chief was first of it's kind. hide show

    Commander in Chief will be missed. The show was a first for all TV showes. I did not know Commander in Chief went off the are at all in till there were no more shows. If they told us, they need to say "this it the last show of all time". It's not faire to the people of the good people of the U.S.A. I wish it would of never of ended at all. I don't know if the U.S is readdy for a woamn Commander in Chief for real. All I care about is those with disabilitys. Meducade and Medacare are not going to last foreve I don't think.
