In the October 20th episode of Netflix’s Chelsea titled “Showing Up Matters”, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi talked about a White House dinner she recently attended. She demurely admitted she was the only woman at the table of Congressional and Senate leaders and then she proudly boasted that she corrected President Trump as he claimed to be the winner of the popular vote in last November’s…

CBS’s new drama Wisdom of the Crowd took on the controversial topics of racism, illegal immigration and violent protests in Sunday, October 22’s episode, “User Bias.” The show centers around tech inventor Jeffrey Tanner (Jeremy Piven) who develops a widely-successful crowdsourcing app, “Sophe,” to help solve his daughter’s murder. In the process, he ends up helping to solve other crimes with the…

Where would we be without the efforts of government spending? At least $20 trillion less in debt, but that never seems to occur to the more left-leaning politicians. Meanwhile, CBS’s Madam Secretary takes the time to remind the viewers about how necessary everyone and everything employed by the government can be.

HBO’s The Deuce continues its race to the bottom - and they're so gosh darn proud of it, too. Fortunately, the season’s almost over, but every week is just one hour too many. This week is no different as we get all angles of sex, both gay and straight.

During the October 22nd episode of HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm titled “Running With the Bulls”, grieving uncle Jerry Funkhouser (Bob Einstein) introduces his transsexual son, Joey, formerly his daughter, Jodi. Even on silly shows like this, the transsexual agenda will be worked in, no matter how random the reference.

In the latest episode of the CW’s Crazy Ex-Girlfriend that aired on October 20, titled “To Josh, With Love,” main character Rebecca (Rachel Bloom) continues her pursuit to find someone to help her take revenge against her ex-fiancé, Josh Chan (Vincent Rodriguez, III), for leaving her at the altar. This week her evil conservative boss, Nathaniel Plimpton (Scott Michael Foster), gets involved.

Jane the Virgin has tackled a lot of issues over the years. Chastity (obviously), abortion, immigration reform, and even dealing with an evil twin. On the October 20 episode, "Chapter Sixty-Six," school choice was added into the mix. Jane (Gina Rodriguez) and Rafael's (Justin Baldoni) son Mateo always had anything he wanted due to his father's fortune but, because Rafael he lost his inheritance,…

Project Runway’s Thursday, October 19 episode, “Driving Miss Unconventional,” challenged its designers to use unconventional safety materials such as seatbelts, hard hats and reflectors, to create unique creations. The theme was to “think outside of your safety zone and deliver looks that do not conform to the rules.”

The first episode of Hulu’s I Love You, America with Sarah Silverman featured awful humor combined with full-frontal nudity all in the name of unity. Surely it can’t get any lower than that. While the nudity level is significantly lower, I have to say that this episode is sadly worse.

I watch NBC's Will & Grace so you don't have to, and be grateful I did. In the October 19 episode, "Grandpa Jack," Jack (Sean Hayes) is surprised to find out that his son Elliot is now a father himself. So, Jack is now grandfather to Skip who, his parents suspect, is gay (like Jack). Why didn't Jack know about his grandson? Because Elliot moved to Texas and became a conservative, so they no…

We’re on the third episode of the last season of ABC’s Scandal, and I’m honestly surprised it took this long to return to something political. After covering the already trite free education argument from the season premiere, the show returns this week with another trite subject: controversial historical statues.

Wednesday’s episode of ABC’s Designated Survivor was inspired by last episode’s hour of liberal propaganda and followed suit, jam-packing itself with liberal politics. Tonight’s episode, “Equilibrium,” touched on gun control, racism, and border relations. American truckers form a blockade on the Mexican-American border to protest trade negotiations between the two countries. Cue the caricaturized…

ABC’s American Housewife has shown a lot of potential to be a good show in its second season after bashing conservatives in its first. It’s been refreshing to hear jokes that are actually funny and not loaded with a political agenda.

In the October 18 episode of Fox’s Star, titled "It Ain't Over," the paralyzed Black Lives Matter activist boyfriend of Alexandra (Ryan Destiny), Derek (Quincy Brown), is encouraged to stop moping around the house and get out to start living his life again. He musters up the courage to do so but it doesn’t end well.
