The failure to prevent the assassination of the President seemed, at the time, quite unusual for TV, and they did a great job of showing how screwed up everyone was because of it. And the replacement of Sinclair seemed rather clumsily handled at the time - the general belief among the fandom was that he'd been replaced because O'Hare was kind of a wooden actor and Boxleitner was a bigger name. Only years later did the truth come out and that was even more disturbing.
