• It's just too bad that the past three and a half years wasn't just a sitcom on NBC. I'm sure we'd all have alot more money in our pockets now, people would be working, and America would NOT have 5 TRILLION extra in debt. Ohh if only the entire MAO bama administration had never existed. What wonderful and exciting things may have happened....well of course it couldn't include McCain at all.

• Just more trash from Hollywood. Few will watch.

• That would be too easy to write-just take notes from every meeting for the last 3 1/2 years-and change the character names. Voila-a script for 400 episodes of keystone cops humor.

  Love that hollywood thinks anyone out here, any of the unwashed morons in flyover country want to know about the WH, no matter the party, and the idiocy that goes on there. We all know they are a bunch of morons-so a comedy about the white house is just rubbing in our faces that they own us-and fuck us daily, without the benefit of a reach-around.

  Hollywood-you are idiots-no one gives 2 1/2 shits (tv reference by the way) about a white house comedy. NO ONE! As we say in making movies and TV.......moving on

  • With a little artful editing, a rehash of all the White House press conferences of the last 3 years could be hilarious. I'm thinking MST3000 style.

    • Ah Mystery Science Theater 3000..I loved that!

• Appropriate. The administration is a sad and sick joke.

• “The idea is that this is a dysfunctional family, and the first family today is so far from that, it’s ridiculous,”

  I guess it's no coincidence that Bill Pullman, who will play the President, resembles Romney.

  • Well you realize the reason Bill Pullman looks more like Romney than Obama, because NBC doesn't even think Obama will win this November.

    • HELLOOO!!!
      IT'S NBC!
      The official network of Dopes and Chains!
      Remember? Immelt, GE, and the NBC family of news networks?
      Of course there is a show in production that is aimed at making Romney look foolish!

      FTA:
      "Bill Pullman as the Commander in Chief and Dharma & Greg star Jenna Elfman as the First Lady, as well as The Book of Mormon’s Josh Gad as their eldest son."

      How transparent can they be? They're even using an actor from The Book of Mormon?

    • Oh I didn't even think that!

    • Exactly! The show starts next fall.

      Looks like the "Bush Bashing" was nothing compared to whats in store for the Romneys.

      • The best part is, we in America pretend to be critical of the Russian or Chinese media. I can't tell the difference.

        • Well, the Russians and Chinese differ in some remarkable ways. The Russians, for instance, stomped on the people of the steppes while the Chinese built walls of bone and stone to keep them out. The Cossacks pioneered breakdancing, and the Shang perfected the art of swordplay in tall trees.

          OH... durnit--American media you say? Yes, well, Foxnews and MSNBC are Night & Day to me, and I watch them fairly evenly, and both less then i used to. I think they take turns playing Pravda, in 4-to-8 year allotments

        • umm OK, except I think Foxnews is a hell of a lot more balanced than MSNBC.

• This administration may find our countries situation funny, but I don't.

• Sadly, the joke is on America.

  • Sadder still, people out there are still going to vote for this jackass!

• Sorry but there's been nothing funny about this administrations corruption and incompetence.

• Difference is his work at the WH was unintentionally laughable. Now he'll have to try to be funny.
