The premiere of ABC’s new serial killer/cop drama Wicked City began with Billy idol’s “Dancing With Myself” playing as the camera panned the Hollywood Hills and iconic Hollywood sign. Normally an excellent sign of things to come, especially for a TV show set in early 80’s Los Angeles.

Fox’s Minority Report offered us a look at the world after climate change catastrophe on Monday night. On an episode titled “Fiddler’s Neck,” Detective Vega (Meagan Good) along with pre-cogs Dash (Stark Sands) and Arthur (Nick Zano) head back to their hometown. A little place called, you guessed it, Fiddler’s Neck.

On Sunday night’s edition of “How Hillary Did Absolutely Nothing Wrong Ever, and Must Be Elected President Like, Yesterday,” aka Madam Secretary, Secretary McCord (Tea Leoni) continues to face the fallout from her ill-conceived plan to condemn millions of Ukrainians to Russian slavery in exchange for “peace,” resulted in the ascension of a radical Russian Nationalist.

CBS’ Blue Bloods delved into the narcissistic, self-obsession of college campus activists on Friday night. In an episode called “Backstabbers,” Nicky Reagan (Sami Boyle) tries her hand at campus radicalism by helping a friend distribute flyers where students can get their privilege checked. Because that’s what is needed in life...more checking of privilege.

Love, love, LOVE when people born in the mid-90’s liken modern day America to now defunct police states like East Germany. I find that the deep, personal, knowledge and insight that they bring about countries that ceased to exist years before they began to exist never fails to spark both awe and wonder.

NBC's The Blacklist let fly with a full anti-religion broadside on Thursday night. Except, true to liberal form they declined to call out the specific religion in question by name, which should tell you all you need to know about which religion they were talking about.

In an episode titled “The Verdict,” Mitch (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) and Cam (Eric Stonestreet) argue about which one of them their friends would still want to hang out with if they got divorced. Because this is a totally normal conversation to have, apparently. Suddenly Cam swerves into one of the lamest of the lame political cheap shots at two pretty prominent GOP activists.

Blackish actually did a great job dealing with not only racial differences between whites and blacks, and the different kinds of churches they attend, but also just the drama and guilt that surrounds normal people and prevents them from getting to church on Sunday.

Jim Buzinski, co-founder of Outsports.com and a gay man, lashed out at Murphy in a very silly column where he attacked the Mets infielder’s “Christian lifestyle,” in response to Murphy’s statement from earlier in the year that he disagrees with the “homosexual lifestyle.”

#LoveWins on Scream Queens. Well, actually, love gets suffocated in a bathtub by a ghoul dressed up as a Red Devil. But, still, it makes a sexually confused sorority girl feel better about herself. So, it’s all good.

Salon is scared of a girl. Okay, I’m scared of this girl too, but for a completely different reason. According to Salon, though Rousey is a woman and has become one of the most dominant athletes in any sports, male or female, she shouldn’t automatically be considered a role model on that basis. Because…wait for it…transphobia.

I see what this show is trying to do, but it has no real idea of how to do it. Crazy Ex Girlfriend is the CW’s attempt at a resurrection of Ally McBeal, complete with single white professional woman zaniness coupled with musical interlude flashbacks. Which actually works pretty well for the show, until they do this weird thing where they attempt to take frat house humor and crude language about women and have women say it. For the purpose of making it cool.

Minority Report predicts the dim futures of both the Redskins name change and the working class.

The No Fun League apparently isn’t merely confined to the N.F.L. On NBC’s Sunday Night Football, Al Michaels made a joke about taxes. In the video, Michaels talked about how Bill Belichick made a paltry $25 dollars a week while coaching for the Baltimore Colts in 1975.

Madam Secretary normally spends its one hour of air time insulating Hillary Clinton from any potential attack. This week however, they may have set her up for one.

Dartmouth has a complicated history with Native Americans. The Dartmouth Indians used to be the nickname of all Dartmouth sports clubs. That is, until 1974 when the university decided the nickname was offensive. Yet, despite their clown show of an administration, many Dartmouth students and organizations still have a liking for the nickname.The most recent evidence of this comes in the form this flyer that made the rounds on campus Monday night.

So, American Horror Story: Hotel is pretty much the most insane thing I’ve ever seen. On Wednesday night’s show, an episode titled “Chutes and Ladders,” AHS made God and the oil/coal industry its target.

Wednesday night’s episode of ABC's Blackish aired on October the 14th. Yet, Blackish is not the type of show to let a little thing like the pesky network programming schedule get in the way of taking a belated shot at Columbus Day.

There was a clear winner in Tuesday night’s Democratic debate, yet the victor was not on stage nor is he named Joe Biden. No, the clear winner was Curt Schilling, who in a response to a tweet from Donald Trump once again reminded us of his awesomeness.

I suppose it is both fitting and proper that on a night when liberal candidates reinforce the fact that they never, ever move on from anything that Fox’s Scream Queens would resurrect one of the most tired and lame liberal talking points of the early 2000s.
In an episode titled “Pumpkin Patch,” Hester Ulrich (Lea Michele) explains to her nerdy friend how she plans to control and manipulate the “Chanels” (the Mean Girls-like clique that the show is based on) and likens her behind-the-scenes manipulation to that supposedly greatest of all political ventriloquists, Dick Cheney.
