David Leonard I've never seen a show with such left leaning, agenda driven tripe in my life. I came across this show while surfing for something different and by the third episode I knew who wrote it, who produced it and who would think it was great. As a student of the Constitution, I know when the Second Amendment is under fire. This show lies about Gun Show laws and wraps it neatly into a story line of human tragedy.It marginalizes patriots, Waco and Ruby Ridge and demonizes them under the guise of demented radicalism. It's only redeeming value is that it premiered during the Clinton administration and it showed DC's indifference to the surrounding populace in it's true form I'll be watching more of this because knowing who the deceivers are is the best way to beat them. Network TV is a vapid wasteland of shows that bash conservative principles and this is just another one of them. Veiw with caution.
larrellanes Please make this available on DVD. I don't want to miss one episode! And would like to keep in my library. Please, Please, Please!! I love all the characters and enjoy the topics covered. I especially love Chief Mannion and Ella Farmer. I hated to see her leave the program! I also love Temple Page! I actually have loved ALL the characters in each episode. I am renting a dvr box just to record each episode, but it doesn't hold all of them and some have to be deleted to continue recording. So please make this available to purchase on DVD! I actually get up and turn on the TV to watch it at 8am and can't get off to work on time. I am addicted to this series! So please let me know when this will be available on DVD. Thank you for your consideration!!
sha-26 Being a Washingtonian myself, I have to say that The District was my absolute favorite show from the beginning. I loved the plots and the characters. Of course the show wasn't the same without Lynn as Ella. And there were some other memorable character like Danny McGregor and Nick Pierce. I watch the reruns every single day. Craig T. Nelson is absolutely amazing in this show. His character Jack Manion is so believable and lovable because he doesn't do anything by the rules, which I love. CBS really had a gold mine with this show and I can't believe they canceled it because it was doing OK without Lynn, but I guess it could never be as good as it was when she was there. I really really miss this show. Thank God for reruns.
andor42 Only started to watch the Show last year (2004)when it came on Halmark Loveeeeeeed the show very much Craig T Nelson is so funny and charming Where are that type of guys in real life?
