Reviews

David Leonard I've never seen a show with such left leaning, agenda driven tripe in my life. I came across this show while surfing for something different and by the third episode I knew who wrote it, who produced it and who would think it was great. As a student of the Constitution, I know when the Second Amendment is under fire. This show lies about Gun Show laws and wraps it neatly into a story line of human tragedy.It marginalizes patriots, Waco and Ruby Ridge and demonizes them under the guise of demented radicalism. It's only redeeming value is that it premiered during the Clinton administration and it showed DC's indifference to the surrounding populace in it's true form I'll be watching more of this because knowing who the deceivers are is the best way to beat them. Network TV is a vapid wasteland of shows that bash conservative principles and this is just another one of them. Veiw with caution.
meyermartina2000 I did enjoy very must the show and we are glad to know that it will go on on a channel here in France next January, the second , on Series CLUB. I didn't get the chance till now to watch season 4. I hope they will show it next year. I was late to watch the series so maybe I missed it.... I was glad to discover such actors with a great talent and the duet Mannion Ella Farmer was charming. I like the very human side of Jack Mannion, straight but human and very keen on listening to the others.I appreciate also the secondary roles such as Temple Page who is closed to what I am and also Noland and his very supporting wife. I hope that one day CBS Channel will give to us the joy to have it on Dvds zone I and 2.
dbrazelt Although I see it now as reruns, I try to never miss it each day. As a retiree, I have the privilege of watching daytime TV and this is among my very favorite shows. It is much better than the "soaps". I miss Ella. I have enjoyed Craig T. Nelson in each of his several great roles. In this role, he portrays a firm, decisive, leader who "does not suffer fools gladly." He's the kind of leader I really liked to work for. The stories each have morals and each member of the cast seem to be real people. I have spent some time in the D.C. area and appreciate the efforts that are portrayed there. I feel they are presented in an honest, balanced and entertaining way. Sorry that the series in only in re-runs.
baker-1 I have thoroughly enjoyed watching this show, but was very sad when Lynne Thigpen died. She and the Chief had such a wonderful relationship. I was particularly upset about Lynn's death when I read her profile some months ago as I was just out of hospital myself from recovering from a brain aneurysm so was quite shocked to see she had died from a brain haemorrhage. I was one of the lucky ones the doctors keep telling me. So, I really feel for her family and extend my deepest sympathy to them and to the cast and crew of the show. I will certainly keep watching it and hope it never finishes, but it really isn't the same without her.
