I guess I'll stick with "House"

[question everything]

A program on Fox, no less but really a good one.

I was reading a review of the new programs on TV - "the year of the women" - where one of them is about the first woman president. And it will be in the same time slot as "House." I thought that, in that case, I will probably watch House and tape the other, but I think that I will skip it all together.

Here is what the WSJ says:

COMMANDER IN CHIEF
ABC, Tuesday 9 p.m.

Pitch: America's first female president, a mother of three, shrewdly balances bare-knuckle politics and a challenging family life.

Back Story: Creator Rod Lurie is familiar with women-in-politics stories from his big-screen "The Contender." In a bid to draw in the conservatives who steered clear of the left-leaning "West Wing," Mr. Lurie peppers the first episode with Hillary Clinton digs from a snooty White House staffer. ("Mrs. Clinton had her office in the West Wing. That didn't go over very well.")

Odds: An uphill battle. ABC is lavishing a megawatt marketing campaign on the drama, but "The West Wing" may have already sucked this well dry. Mr. Lurie says he's not worried because his show will focus more on family life in the White House. "We're going to devote a lot of time to East Wing stuff," he says.
