11/27/07 TV Presidents

BuddyDebbie · 11-27-2007, 06:50 AM

Who is your favorite TV president? Do you think that person would make a good president in real life too? Why? Off the top of my head, I can think of Martin Sheen who plays Jed Bartlet on the West Wing, David Palmer on 24, Laura Roslyn on Battlestar Galactica, there's Patricia Wettig who plays Caroline Reynolds on Prison Break, and Geena Davis who played Mackenzie Allen on Commander in Chief.

David Palmer FTW!

I think Nathan Petrelli would make a good president as well.

There aren't very many other shows with presidents that I like. (I wasn't very fond of Caroline Reynolds from Prison Break)

Definitely David Palmer or MacKenzie Allen

So, you haven't mentionned Jed Bartlet from "The West Wing"... I liked Martin Sheen before but in this show he was amazing! He were just as great as a real President... The writers are so original and they're terribly right! This is an advice to us... an advice we should follow ^^

Anyway, I'd like to see Senator Robert McCallister from "Brothers & Sisters" as the President of the United States! He'd rock as a President! And Kitty as the First Lady! lol I can't wait to see that!!!

Laura Roslin from BSG. Maybe she didn't always make the best choices but given the circumstances and that she kinda became president by accident at first, I actually like her a lot.

Palmer or Bartlet would be my top favorite TV presidents. Caroline Reynolds from PB was awesome at being evil, but as far as being a president she wasn't too good.

I'd love to see Nathan Petrelli as president too.

david palmer!! he was soo awesome!!

David Palmer was great, but no one can hold a candle to Jed Bartlet. He was perfect in every way. And while he didn't win, Alan Alda's Arnold Vinnick on TWW would've made a great president too, even if he was a Republican.

Ok... so strictly not a TV President.. but rather a Movie President.... How about Harrison Ford in Air Force One???
IMO.... He would make such a great president....I'd vote for him and I'm not even american!!!!

^^ He was the first one to come to my mind as well! I think Harrison Ford was awesome in Air Force One. And then there was Bill Pullman in Independence Day... Loved him too!

I didn't like Caroline on PB. I don't know the other TV-presidents, because I simply don't watch these shows... But I have to agree, I think Nathan Petrelli would make a good president!
