The Vice President of IMS and I have returned from Italy, and after battling some severe separation anxiety from the land of cheese and pizza which we both classified as jetlag, we seem to back on track and ready to promote the cause.  As a returning officer to a cause, I thought it seemed only right to watch "Madam Secretary" last night.  Honestly, I thought I would be supporting the crazy idea that you could have an entire night of programming on network television led by women, but happily within the first few minutes of the show, I was also treated to some male shirtlessness to go with that female power.  In the opening sequence, we see our smart and powerful leading lady, Tea Leoni, awakened by a phone call with her husband, Tim Daly, lying shirtless beside her.  As she takes the call, he remains shirtless and appears supportive of his wife's incredibly stressful job.  I can't even say how happy it made me.  Perhaps "Shirtless Supportive Guy" is a new archetype that we should be touting on the blog.  I like Ms. Leoni and Mr. Daly on the show, and despite some obvious tear-jerking pandering, I like the show.  I can only hope that the cast becomes more diverse as it proceeds through the season, and that of course, Mr. Daly continues to take his shirt off to support his wife's career.  Until next week, I continue to be...
