An ABC SuperSoap from 1995, based around a political family, the Monroes. It starred William DeVane and Susan Sullivan as John & Kathryn Monroe.

There's very little information available about this series online, and I was wondering if anyone could share any further information about it, plots etc. As a basis for a family goes, I think politics could be pretty safe, and a cast with a scattering of familiar and reputable faces, i'd imagine it being not too bad.

Plus, i'd have thought it'd have stirred a little interest in the legion of Falcon Crest fans who'd be keen to catch up with a couple of their old shows cast members. Anyway, i'm just working on a little fanfic based around a political family of my own, and I thought i could righteously steal some ideas from this show.

I'd love to see this.

I think its a shame it didn't do better. It seems a lot like a more interesting West Wing.

Had is started after West Wing picked up steam it probably would have been successful.

ABC doesn't give shows a chance these days.
