My first Prime Time TV article is up!

Shonda Rhimes has created a new show for ABC. If you are looking for a fast-paced drama with a side of politics, look no further than Scandal.

Scandal - A New ABC Drama

Your articles are great! I finally caught up on Season 1 through Netflix. I can't tell if the current season is over though. I thought there was supposed to be a new show this week, but the guide says it's a repeat.

Thank you so much! The new show came on Tuesday. Please tell me you didn't miss it.

No! I would never have missed it! In fact, I had to get up the next day at 4:30 to drive to a conference about 70 miles away. My daughter told me to catch it on-demand when I got back. NO! I had to stay up and watch it.

The scary part was that little seed they planted in my mind about government tactics on handling people like they did Huck!

Dianne I firmly believe that those scenes with Huck were taken from real life scenarios. Back in the day I used to watch 24 and tactics like what they did to Huck happened every week.

I was so relieved that Huck was finally exonerated and Pres. Fitz woke up. It was a GREAT episode!

I believe it is bases on a true life story, loosely wrapped around Hollywood magic.

So much happened in the last few minutes. Was this the start of the mid-season, or did the season really not end but just take a break?

I know that Kerry Washington's part is based on a real-life Washington DC crisis handler. I believe her name is Judy Smith.

This was the return from the holiday break. I think they didn't want to lose viewers during the holidays. That time also opens up slot for more holiday-themed programming.
