Sitcom. Widowed US Governor William Drinkwater causes raised eyebrows when he makes his daughter JJ (Jennifer Jo) his first lady.
J.J. had a regular job as an assistant curator at a zoo in the capital city and had a love for animals. She was bright and opinionated and could also debate political issues with her father as well as anyone else. Despite their difference in opinions, William really loved J.J., and she proved herself to be charming and efficient in her duties being “first lady” for her widowered father. J.J. often gained support and advice from Maggie McLeod, the governor’s secretary; George Callison, the Governor’s press secretary, and from Sara Andrews, the housekeeper at the Governor’s Mansion, who appeared in twenty-three episodes.
