Bill Clinton a fan of "24" and "I Love Lucy"

President Clinton is a big fan of "24" even though "an uber right-wing guy" produces the Emmy-winning political thriller.

Clinton told TV advertisers Friday that his favorite show is the medical drama "Grey's Anatomy," and he appreciates "Boston Legal" for the dynamic between William Shatner and James Spader. "It's something to behold," he said.

As for "24," which was co-created by noted Republican Joel Surnow, Clinton said he enjoys the fact that conservatives and liberals alike can be the bad guys in the show.

"They're trying to be fair," Clinton said.

His other must-see TV shows include "All in the Family," "I Love Lucy," "The Andy Griffith Show" and "Bonanza" -- all of which air on TV Land, which sponsored his appearance at the cable network's "upfront" presentation to advertisers at Jazz at Lincoln Center in the Time Warner Building.

"As you know, my wife is away, so I'm home alone a lot," Clinton said of Sen. Hillary Clinton, who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008. "I'm particularly grateful to TV Land for giving me something to do at night."

He also found time to focus on real-world interests such as global warming, hurricane and tsunami relief, AIDS and childhood obesity.

Hmm. In a world filled with Islamonazi terrorism, you'd think "fair" would be showing some plot that doesn't involve American political party involvement, be it right or left.

So Bill likes "24" and "I Love Lucy", eh?

Bill's also a big fan of cigars soaked in cider I hear.

Hillary: "Bill, you got sun splainin' to do".

If Hillary would adopt a child (as she said she would YEARS ago), Bill could do the babysitter.

Bill Clinton is a noted liar. Publishing anything he says is an absurd waste of space

OMG! To think that a former PRESIDENT watches TV LAND is PATHETIC!!! SAD....PATHETIC TO THE NTH DEGREE!! What a CHILD he is!! WHy doesn't he write a serious book? Why doesn't he READ a serious book??

If Bush would EVER say he watches All in the Family or I Love Lucy the media would have a FIELD day!!

This actually sickens me more than his jacking off in a White House Secy's sink.

His other must-see TV shows include "All in the Family," "I Love Lucy," "The Andy Griffith Show" and "Bonanza" --

All of which depict husbands and wives, men and women in traditional roles. Interesting.

"As you know, my wife is away, so I'm home alone a lot," Clinton said of Sen. Hillary Clinton, who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008.

How revealing. He pretty much admits he cannot be in the presence of his wife. But I don't buy it for a minute that he's "home alone" when she's away.

Clinton is fascinated by watching a man with a spine.

I can't get over these incredibly huge whoppers this guy tells.

The problem is that he doesn't know which show is which.

I was at the Elton John show at The Garden last night....imagine my disgust when BJ Klinton walked on stage?

Oh man, I would have been disgusted when Elton John walked onto the stage.

Well where else would he be? Hillary wasn't home and he was lonely.

He's obviously not a Star Trek fan, especially after Spock endorsed Paul Tsongas back in 1992.


That was a great SNL skit. I still miss Phil Hartman.

I think he was more fascinated when then senator Palmer dumped Sherry. He only wishes he could do that.
