It's not just network news that is stumbling.

I gave Taken a try. The first 2 episodes were okay and it was faster paced than 24:Legacy. But, the 3rd episode was about some poor muslim guy who got kidnapped and then wrapped in a vest bomb. Of course, the perp was a right-wing vigilante-type white guy. After about 15 minutes, I saw where that episode was going and turned it off.

I may give episode 4 a look, but ...

24:Legacy just doesn't have the intensity of the ole Jack Bauer seasons.

Chicago Justice seems to be another PC lawyer show, righting the wrongs via the justice system.

Training Day was sort of like Shades of Blue -- cops a tad on the dirty side doing jobs the political HQ doesn't want to do. With the untimely death of Bill Paxton, it will either get a cancellation (already moved to Saturday nights) or a remake with a differnt lead character.

Here’s some advice that won’t cost them a cent and not even require a focus group. Make good shows that are well acted, have a good plot and don’t include any forms of leftist propaganda. Especially homosexual propaganda. Everyone got tired of it a long time ago.
I got rid of my TV signal/cable almost a decade ago. I’m very picky about what I buy on DVD and watch online because of what TV has become.
Sadly, I still think they’ll double down and put out more of the garbage that most people won’t watch. Their psychotic cause is way to important too them for some reason.

You would be correct .. there is not one new show that I have any desire to watch.

I’ll be waiting for more from the “Island” boys and their dig to find treasure.

For a second year in a row, Univision has taken the top spot making it the number one prime time network in the country

20% of the population watches one channel? The other 80% is split between hundreds of channels?

Are FReepers out of touch with reality?

I’m on You Tube every evening. I have an antenna TV for local weather and Retro TV shows. I rarely watch a complete local news broadcast because of their anti-Trump stance.

Network TV’s development season is a joke. They still rely on the old development and pilot season, which results in the same old stale shows every season.

Tried a few new series last year - cancelled midseason

Not gonna invest time getting into another new series that may never finish a storyline.

When it’s on, we watch Gotham/Grimm/Lethal Weapon/Big Bang, and occasionally some of Mom/Man With a Plan/Kevin can Wait, but those are only because the couple hundred cable channels always seem to be playing reruns of reruns of reruns......
