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.

When it comes to HBO’s The Deuce, the only surprise is how much lower they're able to go week after week. On a show which has yet to feature an episode without aggressive nudity, it can be a hard border to cross, but here we are. The latest episode reaches their new peak of depravity by featuring a three-way homosexual make-out session, along with some questionable underage activity.

Do we go around telling women, African Americans, and gay people that their lives don't matter? According to the October 5 episode of How to Get Away with Murder, "I'm Not Her," that's exactly what "we" do.

ABC’s Scandal returns for its seventh and last season which means it has less than one year to dole out its crooked view of American politics to a public that couldn’t be sicker of the subject at this point. To kick off the fall, the series wastes no time in dusting off the old liberal talking points with the "right" to a free higher education.

After a decade-long hiatus, Will & Grace returned to television last week to completely embarrass itself by putting a political agenda ahead of decent writing. When it comes to the follow-up, the October 10 episode "Who's Your Daddy," all I can say is that it's not as bad.

The Magic School Bus is back in the new Netflix series The Magic School Bus Rides Again! Overall, it's still a nice, fun 13-episode series like we remember from when we were kids, but with some left turns. There is a pretty predictable take on climate change propaganda for little kids, but that wasn't the worst. That dubious honor goes to the episode that teaches kids that a monster will eat them…

The ten-episode adult animated sitcom Big Mouth debuted September 29 on Netflix. Each half-hour episode addresses a part of adolescent puberty and it is over the top in crude sexual talk and actions. The disturbing series promotes sexual activity in children who are in the seventh grade – we’re talking 12 and 13-year-old middle school students. As a bonus, liberal talking points are peppered…
