ABC recently acquired the rights to “Georgetown,” a television show about young people in Washington who work for D.C. power brokers. The show is the brainchild of Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, who founded the production company Fake Empire. This duo has been behind the hit television series “The O.C.” and “Gossip Girl.” In recent weeks, the show has cast the dynamic Katie Cassidy to play one of the leads. Cassidy will play Nikki, a White House communications office staffer who is close to the first lady.
The show will center on James Wolk’s character, Andrew Pierce, a Yale graduate who is the youngest presidential speech writer ever. Daisy Betts has also been cast in a prominent role. Very few television shows that try to get D.C. right do so. “The West Wing” got it right. So did the short-lived “Mister Sterling.” Many other shows have tried and failed. Furthermore, many of these shows have had a liberal slant, and often did not portray conservatives accurately.
