Presidential TV habits — what, no "L Word"?

Presidential candidates are just like us! They like to sack out in front of the TV with a bag of Cheetos and the remote, too. Or, well, so they told TV Guide earlier this month. Several of the top presidential contenders, both Democratic and Republican, shared their tube-time schedules. The answers weren't too surprising. Familiar favorites, family fare and the like. So in the interest of broadening their horizons, I've compiled a list of their current TV habits and shows they should consider checking out. I consider it my patriotic duty to get them matched up with the right programs.

Hillary Clinton

Does Watch: HGTV makeover shows, American Idol, Grey's Anatomy, Dancing With the Stars and her all-time TV favorite, The Ed Sullivan Show.

Should Watch: Wonder Woman. Breaking glass ceilings and traveling in glass jets. It's the perfect preparation for a spin on Air Force One — again. Plus, what president couldn't use that Golden Lasso?

Barack Obama

Does Watch: SpongeBob SquarePants and his all-time favorites, M*A*S*H and The Wire.

Should Watch: Dude, she is standing right there next to you. Don't make Oprah angry; you wouldn't like her when she's angry.

John Edwards

Does Watch: Boston Legal and his guilty pleasure, “Fred Thompson on Law & Order.”

Should Watch: I like John, but I can't be the only one who thinks he is a doppelganger for Robin, right?

Dennis Kucinich

Does Watch: The Colbert Report, The Daily Show, The Tonight Show, Late Show and Saturday Night Live — and he doesn't even mind being the butt of their punch lines. “I take what I do seriously, but I don't take myself seriously.”

Should Watch: The Littles. Hey, that's not a slam. It's a how-to guide for navigating the world when you're vertically challenged.

John McCain

Does Watch: Prison Break, “because, as a fellow prisoner, I always dreamed and plotted how I would break out of the Hanoi Hilton.”

Should Watch: Sesame Street, because he has seemed extra Oscar-the-Grouch-ish lately and looks like he could use a sunny day or two.

Fred Thompson

Does Watch: SportsCenter, because he needs to “to stay up on my Titans, Vols, Vanderbilt and, of course, my Memphis Tigers.”

Should Watch: Law & Order, because that's where we wish he would have stayed.

Mitt Romney

Does Watch: Lost.

Should Watch: Big Love (sorry, I couldn't resist.)
