The gracious lady in the middle.
This lady in these opening credits.

I watched the pilot for the defunct "Studio 60" and I don't get why people consider Aron Sorkin to be such a genius. All his TV shows are people walking down the corridors and talking very fast. So it's all just "blah blah blah." And Matthew Perry is a bad actor, he is just playing Chandler all the time, although sometimes toned down.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I'm not really big on political shows, but Madame Secretary really brings humanity to the viewer.
Haven't seen the eldest daughter in a few episodes near the end of season four, and I don't recall them mentioning where she could have gone.

Season five of the Madame. Two more seasons to go.

Why was the last season of Madam Secretary short?
Quote:Although much of the mechanics were similar, it now had an entirely different focus. Given that the sixth season, which focused on McCord's presidency, was a shorter run meant to wrap up the series, it's clear that CBS didn't feel confident following McCord into a whole new chapter in her career.
Looper
Onto the final, sixth, season.

Bored, having run out of things to watch, I've decided to settle on

I default back to Scrubs whenever I don't know what to watch.

Decided to continue with New Amsterdam, instead. Episode nine of season two.

New Amsterdam is a little too intense for me right now, so I'm checking out
