Last year on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, The CW’s high school football drama All American celebrated the important holiday with a racially divisive episode targeting police officers. The new season opened on the evening of King’s holiday this year with a tribute to the extremist, socialist group Black Lives Matter, as well as a dig at “racist” America.

It’s the third episode of ABC’s The Rookie, and the tale of that “polarizing” Officer Doug Stanton (Brandon Routh) wreaking havoc among the LAPD continues. This was certainly sure to follow given the introduction of Officer Stanton in the January 10 episode “In Justice.”

How the vapid millennial series Search Party made it to four seasons is basically the biggest case of failing up you’ll see on HBO Max. If people really wanted to see the most obnoxious characters insulting the police and conservatives, they should just stick to Twitter. Instead, we get yet another slam against the right with a subtle Trump jab to boot.

NBC's Superstore is an obnoxiously woke show that is, thankfully, in its final season. This year it jumped on the Black Lives Matter bandwagon by calling BLM protests "99% peaceful." But it took the "systemic racism" propaganda to new heights this week in the episode "Hair Care Products" on January 14.  

CW’s horror anthology Two Sentence Horror Stories has somehow gotten even worse in its second season. While its not-so-subtle illegal immigrant story was a lousy example, this latest story on a transgender student makes us long for the days of 2019. At least that was terrible propaganda without a pandemic.

A first-year surgical resident faced-off with a disapproving Chief of Surgery and other residents over her religious objection to performing an abortion in the winter premiere episode of ABC's The Good Doctor. Instead of standing up for her beliefs, she caved when it became apparent her decision would affect her residency, then admitted she had an abortion she didn't regret and…

Considering 2020’s hatred of Christianity, it makes sense that 2021 begins with a totally illiterate perspective of Christianity. HBO’s Spanish drama 30 Coins brings back the classic myth of the Gospel of Judas to poison our screens once again. Much like The Da Vinci Code, this story never seems to die.

Well, we can’t say we weren’t warned. As promised, in January 10’s episode, “In Justice,” ABC's The Rookie, revealed a new “polarizing” character, veteran officer Doug Stanton (Brandon Routh) and his hit-you-over-the-head racial profiling. The episode also featured interactions between titular character Officer John Nolan (Nathan Fillion) and James Murray (Arjay Smith), a local black…

NBC's This Is Us has had pro-life episodes during its long run. In previous episodes, characters have welcomed unplanned pregnancies. It also routinely gives a nuanced and life-affirming perspective on adoption.

2020 was a dumpster fire in so many ways, not least of which was the cultural rot of network television and streaming service "entertainment." Hollywood pushed pedophilia, anti-Christian bigotry, Trump Derangement Syndrome and hateful BLM rhetoric, among other things.

Right from the season three premiere, ABC’s The Rookie aims to get political on policing.

Looks like CBS’s NCIS: New Orleans will spend its 2021 doubling down on false liberal propaganda. While the show already bent over backwards to claim police officers are killing young black men last month, the latest episode somehow went further to appease a “burn the establishment” progressive and her mostly “peaceful” crowd.

Christmas may be over, but the hatred for Christianity still lives on in television. HBO’s anti-religious series His Dark Materials brings on (hopefully) 2020’s final salute to atheism with a stand against the “deceit, intolerance, and prejudice” of God in the name of “understanding, truth, and acceptance.” Only a show like this could think atheists exclusively hold those virtues.

2020 has been a year-long series of grievances, and TV was no exception. Although COVID ended a lot of business, leftist Hollywood has been in full force shoving its agenda down our throats. In honor of Festivus on December 23, we’ve once again gathered a list of 2020 TV grievances to air as well as feats of strength and Festivus miracles.
