Dag season one trailer


DAG is an American sitcom that aired from November 2000 to May 2001 on NBC. It was named after its star, David Alan Grier, who stars as United States Secret Service agent Jerome Daggett. Daggett's name, in turn, is a back-formation. The show also stars Delta Burke as the First Lady of the United States of America.

Synopsis

After making a mistake during a failed assassination attempt on the President (David Rasche), Agent Daggett is reassigned to protect the First Lady. Agent Daggett encounters problems with the First Lady who treats him like a servant instead of her body guard. He also has problems with an egotistical fellow agent, Edward Pillows (Stephen Dunham), the First Lady's secretary Ginger Chin (Lauren Tom), and the First couple's beautiful young daughter Camilla (Lea Moreno Young).

The series was originally scheduled on NBC's Tuesday night sitcom line up following 3rd Rock from the Sun at 9:30 EST. In January 2001, the series was moved to 8:30 timeslot, but was canceled the following May after one season.

  • Reception

    Robert Bianco of USA Today said it "should have been funnier but wasn't a total star vehicle disaster like "Bette" or "The Michael Richards Show." Hal Boedeker of the Orlando Sentinel said it was "Flat, old-fashioned DAG wastes David Alan Grier and Delta Burke -- an impeachable comedy offense."
