MRC Culture on TV Blogs

After two pretty straightforward, non-controversial episodes, the third episode of ABC’s Designated Survivor’s second season suddenly packed three episodes worth of liberal politics into one. Wednesday’s episode “Outbreak” had everything, from a deadly superbug, to an evil pharmaceutical company, to a Confederate statue debate, to a “sexually ambiguous” frog.

If, like me, you were a fan of the 1980’s pop culture iconic television show, Dynasty, no doubt you were looking forward to the premiere of the reboot on CW Wednesday night. The episode titled “I Hardly Recognized You” that aired on October 11th was properly named, if you ask me. Some parts of the show are now hardly recognizable.

Wednesday, October 11th was National Coming Out Day for the LGBTQ community and the Fox show Star episode titled “FUA…Good Night” threw in a transgender masturbation scene for good measure. As far as I know, that is a first in the arena of forcing the trans agenda onto the general public.

The October 11th episode of NBC’s Chicago P.D. titled “Promise” started off with Latino Detective Antonio Dawson encouraging his high school senior daughter to use her ethnic identity for the affirmative action route into the college of her choice. She wasn’t so inclined but between his encouragement and that of her high school counselor, she agreed.

USA’s anti-capitalist product of the very corporate Universal Studios Mr. Robot has in the past been almost embarrassingly unashamed of its Marxist, anarchistic, and borderline anti-American style. However, it previously had the miniscule advantage of taking place before the liberal apocalypse of November 2016. Not anymore. The third season premiere lets loose its latest anger against both…

South Park always manages to get to the heart of modern culture with the most ridiculous of situations. In the October 11 episode, "Franchise Prequel," the matter at hand is the way falsehoods spread like wildfire on Facebook - with a not-so-sublte jab at Russian propaganda thrown in. 

October 11 was hyped on Twitter as “National Coming Out Day,” because declaring the type of sex you like is now worthy of a whole day of celebration. With this in mind, the latest episode of Fox’s Empire had its own National Coming Out Day highlight with a special scene between record label CEO Lucious (Terrence Howard) and his gay son Jamal (Jussie Smollett).

In its October 10 episode, "Jeremy & Anna's Meryl Streep Costume Party," The Mindy Project on Hulu saw one of the doctors of Shulman and Associates, Jody Kimball-Kinney (Garret Dillahunt), tapping into his altruistic side. After being shamed by a woman who runs a free clinic, he finds the practice's old bus and starts offering certain types of healthcare free-of-charge to women who otherwise…

Tuesday’s episode of FX’s American Horror Story: Cult tried to make a statement on guns in an odd way. The episode titled “Mid-Western Assassin” opens with a mass shooting at a campaign rally, but in the wake of the Las Vegas shootings, the scene was re-edited for broadcast.

The October 6 episode of Netflix’s Chelsea, titled “Hart of the Matter,” included a segment devoted to the extreme liberal rhetoric associated with the anti-gun crowd. The guests were Igor Volsky, Director of Guns Down and co-host of a podcast, and Kris Brown, co-president of The Brady Campaign and Center to Prevent Gun Violence. As expected, the scapegoats were Republicans and the gun lobby,…

The CW’s new military drama Valor premiered on Monday night and I was expecting the worst. Not only is The CW the home to many outspokenly liberal programs, but the main character is supposed to be the first female helicopter pilot in an Army special operations unit. That’s just a recipe for virtue signaling disaster.

CW’s Supergirl has now had almost five extra months to come to terms with the Trump Presidency. At this point, the show could either move on like the rest of the country or double down in disgrace. Unfortunately, the October 9 premiere “Girl of Steel” doubled down and doesn’t show any signs of letting up its liberal, anti-Trump slant.

Let me start out by giving some words of advice to CBS’s Madam Secretary: We get it! You’re mad Hillary lost, and you think creating a “fake news” scapegoat will make you feel better. We’ve seen it happen in the real world, so we don’t need to see it on scripted TV more than ten months later. Pretending it’s still relevant honestly only makes you look worse than you already do.

The October 8 episode of HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, titled “The Pickle Gambit,” took a turn to the left during a sex scene, of all things. Known to insult just about anyone, Larry David took an over-the-top approach to satisfying his Muslim friend as she made sexual demands of him.
