BW Manilowe October 6, 2015 Share October 6, 2015 I just saw a trailer for Tea Leoni's show Madam Secretary. I've never watched the show, and the only thing I know about it is that she's playing the Secretary of State. But in the trailer, Morgan Freeman(!) is giving her the Presidential Oath of Office. So the President, the Vice President, the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate are all dead/missing? The President & Speaker were both on Air Force One, which was incommunicado (due to computer malware planted in the plane somehow) & declared missing, at least within the White House & temporarily. The VP came down with the flu--which may have also been gall bladder or appendix issues, I forget now--at a golf tournament & barfed all over another dignitary (like President Bush Sr. at that State Dinner in Japan), so he was hospitalized. The Senate President Pro Tempore had had a series of mini-strokes recently, didn't know who the current POTUS was, may have also been developing dementia, & was skipped over because even a staffer of his admitted he wasn't competent enough to serve. That's how the SecState became Acting President--she was the next 1 in line who was available/competent enough to serve. Morgan Freeman got to play the Judge who swore her in because he's an Exec Producer of the show & he directs it occasionally, possibly even this episode. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2776-say-what-commercials-that-made-us-scratch-our-heads/page/56/#findComment-1572117

No. A poster upthread posted about a "trailer" (at least technically a commercial) for this week's (2 days ago now, as it's Tuesday) episode of Madam Secretary, which they saw. The commercial showed the title character--a fictional US Secretary of State, played by Téa Leoni--being sworn in as US President. The OP doesn't watch the show & wanted to know how that happened since the Secretary of State is, according to the show--& presumably the Constitution--fourth in the Presidential Line of Succession (Was everyone in the Line of Succession before her dead, or what?). Since I saw the ep, I explained it. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2776-say-what-commercials-that-made-us-scratch-our-heads/page/56/#findComment-1573208

potatoradio October 12, 2015 Share October 12, 2015 There's a commercial now for some sexual aid for women who suffer from painful sex due to menopause. The drug apparently has every side effect known to man because after its use is briefly discussed by a cross looking lady with a Louise Brooks hairdo, all you hear is what terrible things it does to your body. Is it an estrogen cream? Because I saw that one, too and thought, "wow, I'd so totally be in the mood after applying a cream that may cause stroke, heart attack, vaginal dryness...Honey! Come quick before some of these side effects kick in and I die!" I saw an ad for a new pregnancy pee stick test; at first, I thought the V.O. said, "you're travelling, a regular stick may be difficult to manage." Say who? Oh, wait, not travelling. "You're TREMBLING, and a regular stick may be difficult to manage." So, ladies, behold: a new stick with a giant curved handle so you don't have to worry as much about how you pee when your hand is shaking. I mean, I understand nerves, but come on, if your hands are shaking like you're being electrocuted, I don't care what kind of handle is on the pee stick. You clearly need Mother's Little Helper NOW. I'm glad Greg's Got It, but all I hear is "Greg's Goddess!", which would be a far more interesting commercial. Maybe I need a hearing aid. I'd go get one, but my moderate to severe psoriasis makes me too ashamed to visit a doctor. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2776-say-what-commercials-that-made-us-scratch-our-heads/page/56/#findComment-1595012
