The 2005 Fall TV Lineup: Commander In Chief premieres tonight and thoughts on "Hating Chris"

Geena Davis is not the first woman to play President of the United States on TV. That honor goes to Patty Duke in a short lived sitcom "Hail to the Chief."

A woman have also been portrayed as the head leader in the revived Battlestar Galactica series as well.

I still have my doubts about this show, but right now they are trying to play to both sides of the political coin. We shall find out which way this character goes. I say she will be left of center, since that is were must of the entertainment business is.

Louis Wittig has a negative of Commander In Chief. Hey the media elites (TV Guide, Time, Rolling Stone etc) loves the show like crazy just because their mostly on the left, so any counterreview is great to have.

The prediction I made regarding UPN's "Everybody Hates Chris" is that it would be a hit for the UPN netlet. I did not expect that show to beat out NBC and FOX which it did for its first airing. Every other show on UPN that night went back to usual numbers. Now we can say that "Joey" is just not the same without his "Friends." This week can Chris Rock hold up the numbers once again.

The fifth season of Alias begins this week on ABC and up until American Idol's "Ensemble" number and elimination program that was done on Wenesday nights it got the biggest numbers that it did on Sundays. I can promise you that Survivor will beat the program, but can it pull the numbers to convince ABC to kept it on the "island" with or without Jennifer Gardner?

Reruns of Alias can now be seen on weekends, but you need to check your listings to find out when its on. It is likely on a station that is NOT affliate with ABC as with many off network programs. You can now catch up about the early years and this thing called SD-6.

Also premiering on ABC on Thursday nights is the new Night Stalker. I said that Kolchak would hear the words your fired. That prediction is up in the air, but we shall find out how good or bad this remake is. Also the Donald is hurting a bit after the first show which had lower ratings than in the past. Joey for sure will be "fired," but will The Donald be joining him in the TV graveyard?
