Question: I am so disappointed that ABC canceled
Commander in Chief! I know many other people are upset, too.
Geena Davis received a Golden Globe, the episodes were so believable, and even though there were serious breaks in the season, it was a great show. Do you think the head honchos at ABC received pressure from certain political parties to silence the show? I know that the writers or directors were changed midstream, but I think the show was still good and could have come back given support, creative freedom and consistency in its airdates. Do you think politics were involved?
Answer: Nope. Just a bad case of network mismanagement, which ABC now admits. They should never have taken the show away from its creator,
Rod Lurie. As great a producer as
Steven Bochco is, this was not a good fit. The creative disarray, which I thought became quite noticeable on screen, doomed the show, along with ABC's erratic scheduling once the powers-that-be gave up on it. Had nothing to do with its political content.
