Anyone remember Sutherland in a TV series with Geena Davis "Commander in Chief" where Davis is the VP and becomes POTUS after the President dies suddenly?
Apparently the show was designed to get voters interested in a female president, such as Sen./Sec. Clinton.
The show is pretty similar to "Designated Survivor".
I have been watching it on Hulu lately. Pretty good show, but it was canceled after trying to compete with "American Idol". It even had Mark-Paul Gosselaar/Zack Morris from "Saved by the Bell" as an older actor.
