I thought this show had great casting! I thought it was a great show as well. The strike really interupted the flow of things. Combine that with sports and the whole presidential aspect and it's tough for any show to stay grounded.
The only issue I had with this show was the stunts. I didn't need to see Jamie Lynn and even though Ashton's episode was funny, don't tease me out of the gate, cause you set a bar that you can't continue to clear on a weekly basis.
That said, the show was funny, sexy and cool. You really can't ask for any more.
