　　《二当家/副总统》是美国总统大选年率先亮相的一部政治喜剧，接下来还有数部类似的剧集排队等候播出。
　　该剧故事描述前任女参议员Selina Meyer（Julia Louis-Dreyfus）当上副总统后 发现这个职位与她想象中的情况完全不一样－－她几乎没有任何真正的权力。参议院、众议员和总统都不把她当回事，可一旦遇到谁也解决不了的麻烦事就扔给她去处理。 刚刚上任的副总统Selina Meyer带着她的班子成员－－办公室主任Amy（Anna Chlumsky）、发言人Mike（Matt Walsh）、政治参谋Gary（Tony Hale）和执行助理Sue（Sufe Bradshaw）－－来到华盛顿。虽然他们还没有站稳脚跟，但Selina急于表现自己的能力。结果，一系列的失误导致她的手下人不得不放弃当初的设想，转头去做「损害控制」工作。该剧其实和Showtime的《谎言堂》有点像，也是一个主人公身边围绕一群「各司其责」、「性格各异」的手下，只不过该剧的主人公贵为副总统，而且是个女性。

　　由莉娜·杜汉姆编写/执导/主演，荣获艾美奖和金球奖肯定的喜剧影集 带来全新的一季，内容仍围绕在纽约市里一群好友的生活起伏。

　　In 2262, Earthforce Captain Elizabeth Lochley is appointed to command Babylon 5. The station grows in its role as a sanctuary for rogue telepaths running from the Psi Corps, resulting in conflict. G'Kar, former Narn ambassador to Babylon 5, becomes unwillingly a spiritual icon after a book is published that he wrote while incarcerated during the Narn-Centauri War. The Drakh, former allies of the Shadows who remained in the galaxy, take control of Regent Virini on Centauri Prime through a parasitic creature called a Keeper, then incite a war between the Centauri and the Interstellar Alliance, in order to isolate the Centauri from the Alliance and gain a malleable homeworld for themselves.
　　Centauri Prime is devastated by Narn and Drazi warships and Londo Mollari becomes emperor, accepting a Drakh Keeper under threat of the complete nuclear destruction of the planet. (Portions of the end of his reign are seen in various prescient visions throughout the series; they show Mollari and former nemesis (and later friend) G'Kar sixteen years in the future dying at each other's throats, seemingly out of their grudge. It is gradually revealed that there was a much more friendly subtext, with Mollari having become a slave to the drakh rule and being tired of life; his Drakh Keeper awakens and strangles G'Kar in return. Vir Cotto, Mollari's loyal and more moral aide, succeeds him as emperor, free of Drakh influence. Sheridan and Delenn marry and move to Minbar, along with the headquarters of the Interstellar Alliance. G'Kar leaves Babylon 5 to escape his unwanted fame and explore the rim. Garibaldi also marries and settles down on Mars. Most of the other main characters leave B5.
　　Nineteen years later on the verge of death, Sheridan takes a final trip to the obsolete Babylon 5 station before its decommissioning. Sheridan apparently dies but is claimed by the First Ones, who invite him to join them on a journey beyond the rim of the galaxy. Babylon 5 station is destroyed in a demolition shortly after Sheridan's departure, its existence no longer necessary as the Alliance has taken over its diplomatic purposes. This final episode features a cameo by Straczynski as the technician who switches off the lights before Babylon 5 is demolished.
