Spin City After working with fan favorites such as "Back to the Future" and "Family Ties," in 1996, Michael J. Fox joined up with Heather Locklear, Richard Kind and later Charlie Sheen to create a comedy show about the staffers in the office of a governor who was slightly moronic, arrogant and a complete public relations nightmare. "Spin City'' ran for six seasons, making us look at the lighter side of public office all the while.

West Wing Smart, funny, relevant and inspiring, the "West Wing" is considered one of the best political dramas ever created and, among many, ranks high on the list of best 1V shows in general. The show follows the lives of White House staffers as they try to not only run the country, but push it forward. It may have been a bit ide­ alized, there are few that wouldn't wish Jeb Bartlett (a Notre Dame grad, by the way) wasn't our president, but the show addressed political and moral issues that mirrored those in historical reality, and gave us an answer that felt achievable: Though we may not always succeed, with capable and passionate people in government we can brush greatness.

Saturday Night Live Saturday Night live has always been a forum for comedic political discussion in the entertainment world. With political figures from Ralph Nader to AI Gore hosting the sidesplitting sketch comedy show, SNL is consistently hilarious while instilling a sense of political awareness in its young adult viewers. This year, SNL producer Lorne Michaels will release a spin-off, titled "SNL Thursday Night live," which will premiere - Oct. 9 at 9:30 p.m. and focus on the 2008 presidential election.

The American President Aaron Sorkin's p_recursor to "The West Wing,• "The American President" showcases Michael Douglass' acting chops as Andrew Shepherd, the idealistic Democrat whose romance with a lobbyist (Annette Bening) ruffles feathers on Capitol Hill. Sorkin occasionally overdoes his political fantasy (Does every Re­ publican sit in dark rooms, smoke cigars and plot to rule the world in his or her free time? Really?), but the film deserves viewers from either end of the political spectrum.

Commander in Chief What would our country look like with a woman in the Oval Office? As first female president Mackenzie Allen, Geena Davis posed the question weekly to 1V viewers for one season. "Commander in Chief," which was sometimes criticized for its "imperialist" view of the presidency, was eventually cancelled due to low ratings. Davis, however, won a Golden Globe for her role.

Fahrenheit 9/7 7 Arguably Michael Moore's most famous (and infamous) film to date, "Fahrenheit 9/11" was an onscreen forum in which Moore voiced his anger with the Bush administration for its role in engineering and carry- ing out the war in Iraq. While the tone and perspective tend to feel biased, the film raises serious questions : about our global political landscape - some of which have still gone unanswered.

24 While not focused specifically on political issues, Fox's "24" is inevitably political in its subject matter, deal­ ing explicitly with issues of counter-terrorism and international affairs. Come November, the series may have unexpectedly predicted the future in its depiction of a black president at the helm of the nation­ actor Dennis Hays bert played President David Palmer for more than three seasons.
