Hail to the Chief

Mid-80’s sitcom about the first female president of the United States, and how she deals with important stuff like the Cold War and the War on Drugs. More of an ass-backwards time capsule than a worthwhile comedy, this failed curiosity starred Patty Duke as the new commander-in-chief, Dick Shawn as the Russian Premier, John Vernon as a rabbid general, and Murray Hamilton as a weaselly senator. I remember this series, and it’s just as awful as it sounds.
