It's not just network news that is stumbling.

Well, I certainly don’t get it. We’ve had gay situation comedies, gay Westerns, gay soap operas, gay cop shows, gay military series, gay nature shows, gay reality series, and gay quiz shows. Nobody’s biting. What do the people want?

Let me think -
Lesbian agenda
Homosexual agenda
Black male - white girlfriend
Black in position of authority
Muslim agenda
Affirmative action actors with poor acting skills
Remake with weak black lead actor

The scripts practically write themselves.

I had heard almost nothing about these shows, so I looked some up:

24: Legacy - a liberal, anti-American spin off to “24”. The “24” audience is not watching it, and neither is anyone else.

The Blacklist: Redemption - mercenaries. I haven’t found anything I’m interested in reading about it, but my expectations are so low I won’t bother checking (and I don’t have a TV).

Chicago Justice - Yet another courtroom series, and it sounds exactly like all the others.

Time After Time - H.G. Wells chases Jack the Ripper? Sorry, but if you can’t create your own characters, I’m not impressed. Time travel. Overdone.

Making History - more time travel. Overdone.

Training Day - another cop show.

Doubt - another lawyer show. Katherine Heigl? Cute, but not enough to get me to watch network TV unless they start making good shows that celebrate positive values.

Not enough homosexual agenda shows with thinly veiled anti-Trump politics. Time to go Warp-12 on the PC agenda..

Midseason?

They've completely messed with the entire concept of a "season."

Now, all the shows are doing this thing called a "winter finale," which means that they create a cliff-hanger episode before Thanksgiving, and then go to repeats until January, and sometimes not until March.

The "season" used to be 33 episodes in the 1950s and 1960s. Then the season fell to 22-23 episodes, with repeats to fill the September-May window, and now they have 12-episode shows, with these shows slipping into the "winter" gap between the "winter finale" and when the show returns in March.

Who can keep up the on-again-off-again shows? Who can follow a storyline when one show runs in its time slot from September to November, a new show starts in November through March, and then the original show comes back to finish its seasonal run?

Do we even still have the concept of a February sweeps and May sweeps week?

“The Americans” is about the ONLY show I watch, but I am waiting till May when “Lucifer” comes back, and then it’s till next year for “Vikings”, or when Game of Thrones Season 7 gets to the store.

As far as what has been broadcast on “the major networks”, they insult my intelligence to where “I can write better than that!” has escaped my lips. But, I remember, too, that I would have to disavow all that I believe (rabid full blooded American), to kiss the ring and do prostrated homage to queer Hollywood.

It aint just TV writing
thats getting bad, Most new young comics are sad and lame. The old tried and true snarky kid at the back of the classroom who grows up to become a comedian seems to have disappeared entirely. But then THAT kid wasn’t PC.

Maybe folks are waking up to the fact that much of TV is crap.

Disclaimer: I don’t have a TV and haven’t watched TV since 2008.

leftist manure leads to cord cutting.

netflicks puts on a leftist lunatic comedian and wonders why cord cutters then cancel subscriptions.

Hollyweird thinks normal people want what weird manure hollyweird wants. Hollyweird is stuck on stupid.

Everything they broadcast is propaganda. I do not want to watch propaganda for gay, or to be told that muzzies are kind, caring, tolerant, misunderstood people.

Read Primetime Propaganda.

By 1950s and early 60s standards, TV today is junk and getting junkier.

Husband & I loved Sneaky Pete. We’ve just started The Americans - binged 1 season this week. I would recommend Peaky Blinders, the Last Kingdom and Man in the High Castle. All very binge worthy!

If it wasn’t for a handful of CBS shows, and being able to stream Amazon Prime and Acorn TV for the great Brit shows, we would not be watching much tv.

Zip NFL, NBA, Faux news, ABCNNBCBS and only Giant Baseball.

The nets must be depending on the liberals, BLMers, millenials and cartoon fans for their audiences.

The advertisers will soon be whacking their ad $’s for these losers.
