(Maybe Hannity and Rush help him out with his opinion a little too)
I have seen it more than a few times on reruns- I think its ok, and SOMETIMES has a compelling storyline but I don't go out of my way to catch it... The constant stilted semi-witty banter while walking quickly down a hallway gets old fast... I did not get the impression it was a leftist fantasy... the president is a democrat, but so are some of the villans... and there are examples where the 'democrat heroes' get spanked for assuming the 'other side' are simply small minded evil political hacks (I dont think Larry is evil). The main thing I have seen as being preached by the show is: "Wouldn't it be nice if politics were about principles, instead of power and party loyalty?"
