Sound familiar.

But it can't step into the -- like for a special inside look at the show their characters and with a similar start and then with today's -- believe.

The show's premise is very much that families who've been in White House in the -- as we call it.

Kind of pay a price for that to rest of their lives and it also on the flip side wanna get back in its so there is a kind of superficial.

The Kennedys.

All the way back how the scrutiny of being in the White House and especially on the children.

When different reporters take out there knew that -- record telling you how it best even just things that are sort of and it is very rudimentary things fashion because if you play doctor Taylor all those things are the most important because -- -- -- second nature to journalists -- not to me.

We finally decided to acquire some journalistic ethics.

I think there's a lot.

To relate to and I also think that in this election year it's such relief to not look at the real election.

And to look at politics -- -- Yet fictionalized politics is it's a vacation what we had a great time with the -- and I'm telling -- this show is hot.

And before we left to cool off I had to ask the legendary Helen Bernstein in the one question that's on everyone's mind -- mind when you have to totally an Oscar.

What we have to give it to correct.
