LAWEEKLY entertainment columnist Nikki Finke: ABC/TOUCHSTONE's COMMANDER IN CHIEF series creator Rod Lurie replaced as showrunner by Steve Bochco today because of what sources say was Lurie's wanting to show a 'rough sex' scene between the President's daughter and a Secret Service agent in the back of a limo... Developing...
Depends on what the meaning of "Secret Service" is.
She puts some ice on it and hey, it's all good.
Fixing that show is like putting a shine on a sneaker.
A PR attempt to garner this sickening prop piece more attention
Sure, I'll bet it doesn't have anything to do with terrible ratings. /s Sounds to me like they hate what Lurie is doing with the show and are giving him a somewhat honorable way out. A disagreement over sexual content looks better than saying he got canned due to crappy ratings and bad story lines.
Shoot your TV
Banish the thought!
You got it.This show will never run a scene involving "rough sex" between the President and the manager of an Arkansas nursing home.
Well that all depends on your definition of "is".
"Sure, I'll bet it doesn't have anything to do with terrible ratings."
This has been one of the highest rated shows of the new season. It has won its time slot, every week.

You've gotta (I'm serious here) feel sorry for Chelsea. To be raised by two genuine,hedonistic,narcissistic psychopaths,as she was,means that she had 2.9 strikes against her before she drew her first breath.
I mentioned the other day that I wonder if the program qualified as a Dem advertising campaign which would make the money expended for the series "hidden donations". I bet the show gets cancelled real quick. It stinks.
Hey a Lesbian co-worker of mine thinks this is the greatest show to ever grace this Earth. Hey right after Mellisa Ethridge this is the second best thing to happen to her.
So absurdly unrealistic and melodramatic. Too many portentous lines, clumsy attempts at meaningful statements, way too self-serious.
The feel of it reminds me of the 'heavy, important' scenes in one of those recent camp-disaster movies - but there it seems the tongue in cheek is presumed, and comes across a little better in movie format. This pathetic show is just trying way too hard.
I heard the ratings were bad. Guess I shouldn't believe everything I read on the threads.
