GenevaHi everyone,
Here's a few oddball choices for fictional TV Presidential Portrayals:
**DAG, a 2000-2001 comedy on NBC about a secret service agent (David
Alan Grier) who is assigned to protect the First Lady (played by Delta
Burke). Occasionally the President would make an appearance.
**The Secret Life of Desmond Pfeiffer, UPN from 1998. A "wacky" (and I
assume crass, although I never saw the show) portrayal of Abraham
Lincoln.
**Super President: an animated cartoon from 1967 (which I remember
watching as a kid, actually). Super President is about a super-powered
President who fights crime, believe it or not. You can read more about
it at:

Or check out titles of individual episodes at The Big Cartoon Database:

Hope this helps! Matt
