ABC Tuesday 9pm
	debuts September 27, 9pm
	concept from When a Republican president dies, his V.P., Mackenzie Allen (Geena Davis), makes history as she is sworn into office. Her resume: Nobel-winning university chancellor, congresswoman, mother and, yes, an Independent. But everyone, including the President on his deathbed and the power-hungry speaker of the House (Donald Sutherland), wants her to resign.  stars Geena Davis, Donald Sutherland, Leslie Hope, Kyle Secor, Andrew James Allen, Jasmine Anthony, Ever Carradine, Julie Ann Emery, Matt Lanter, Harry J. Lennix, Caitlin Wachs producers Rod Lurie, Marc Frydman, Dee Johnson studio Touchstone TV, Battle Plan Productions

	i opine... I like this one from the premise alone. Yes, it could very well be "West Wing With Two X Chromosomes," but something about it says it's more than that. Geena Davis is a perfect choice for President and from the snippet of Donald Sutherland I saw, he'll be a terrific foil for her.

	the breakdown   Full run, even with a very crowded slot seeing three other debuts. It's not going to get a huge amount of buzz, but you can bet ABC will promo the hell out of it during the premieres of "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives."
