All he had to say was, “hey buddy,” and I thought, “Dang, I knew Tim Daly was just too cute to be true.” Let me be clear–I really, really, really hope the show is not headed in this direction. If the fantasy element will be her ability to solve complex global issues within one episode, then can the family life part be more mundane? Then again, I completely cringed when she walked up to her husband IN FRONT OF STUDENTS and kissed him, so realism may not be a big thing with these writers.

There’s a lot that is hard to accept in this show–a president who believes he can do actual good in the world, for one thing–but I guess those who want to believe that our politicians can be good folk might dig it. I’ll be watching it as a sort of fairy tale.
