Just a compelling new show. Plot line is contrived but story is frighteningly believable.

As opposed to Designated Loser, like Bob Dole, John McCain, Mitt Romney and this was supposed to Yeb!’s turn.

I always shake my head at the whole “continuity of government” concept. If they screwed up so bad they got us nuked.... why would I want THAT government to survive?

The General representing the JCOS comes across as a refugee from “Seven Days In May”.

Yes, he was completely over the top. Too bad because everybody else was good, although I’m confused about who the FBI lady is and who she can’t reach on the phone.

Plus, the UXB looked like a fire hydrant as the guy I was watching it with kept saying.

I saw the pilot episode on ABC a short while ago.

Holy Crap! You freepers in the western time zones should watch this episode.

The Capitol building goes up in flames during the State of the Union address, pretty much wiping out every member of the House and Senate, the President and Vice President, Supreme Court, etc.

The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, played by Keifer Sutherland, is sworn in as president.

In the 60s, Irving Wallace wrote a great book — THE MAN. As I recall, a building collapsed in Frankfort, Germany and the prez and VP were killed. Speaker of the House becomes prez and he happens to be black. He was put in as Speaker to pacify black groups. And then there is an effort to impeach him. A great novel.

The two shows I’ve been looking forward to was Bull and Designated Survivor. Bull was a homo-promo from the first episode. Hopefully they don’t ruin DS too soon.

Thank you for the timely heads up, I was engrossed watching the riot in North Carolina. Was not aware that premiere was tonight. In another half hour.
