Does anyone remember the short-lived all-star sitcom Mr. President? It ran from 1987-1988 and starred George C. Scott, Conrad Bain, and Madeline Kahn. Does anyone know where I might be able to obtain episodes?

I loved that show. Best Fox sitcom ever. Conrad Bain was fantastic! I miss it. It is a shame that Fox, with only Joan Rivers as it's "star" at the time would cancel a funny show with a gifted cast. Of course, today, we have DAG. Aren't we lucky?

Well, when you put someone as talented and funny as Madeline Kahn, and someone as dedicated to his work as Conrad Bain in a sitcom, you know you will come out with something good. All of Madeline's sitcoms were funny, and of course all of Conrad's too.

I loved the second season, when Madeline Kahn played the president's sister-in-law, who became the official White House hostess after his wife left him. The first, pre-Madeline season is kind of dull.

From the It Was a Thing on TV podcast: Episode 319–Mr. President:

Quote:

It's the start of November and election time is around the corner. We felt it was appropriate to visit this relevant dramedy turned comedy with George C. Scott from FOX's early days.
