Summary of Season 2 (2006) - 2 discs

In this second installment of episodes, scheming Speaker of the House Templeton (Donald Sutherland) has to take over when the president's appendix ruptures aboard Air Force One, and President Allen (Geena Davis) tries to pass the Equal Rights Amendment. Despite winning a Golden Globe for her portrayal of the nation's first female president, Davis failed to win reelection for another season of this political drama, which was cancelled in 2006.

Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that the show features content that focuses on gender and politics. There is very little to object to other than comments made by Mac's adversary, who in the first episode jokes about human rights, a woman's ability to hold higher office, and menopause. One major plotline features a Nigerian woman threatened with violent death for having a child out of wedlock. A scene depicting her rescue that begins in a Nigerian prison is a little disturbing.

Sexual Content

Derogatory comments about women.
