Fake and real characters
In reply to: detoured 's message, "Reggie was his boss" on 01:09:02 01/26/02 Sat

the only show I really watch regularly now is "JAG" and they have a character who plays the Secretary of the Navy on there occasionally (they call him the SecNav and he's the *big* boss; equivalent to the FBI director). Now, of course, the United States has a *real* Secretary of the Navy, and this guy's not it. So I guess they could have a fake FBI Director on XF if they wanted to. The have a fake President on "The West Wing".
What's weird about "JAG" is that they've had the same SecNav throughout the show,which began during the Clinton Administration. In reality, I think the Secretary of the Navy is a politically appointed position and would have changed to a different person when the Bush Administration came in. But, since it's fictional, I guess they didn't worry about it.
Thanks for the info, det!!
