Amazon Prime’s Small Axe series is back once again to remind us how terrible the police system is now by reaching back a few decades. This time around, we have a direct commentary of the police through the film Red, White and Blue.

If you’re looking for one of those cliche medical dramas--as if there aren’t enough already--now there's NBC’s Nurses. The show premiered in the United States, with its first episode, “Incoming,” airing on December 7. It follows the path of five new bumbling nurses on their first day on the job at St. Mary’s, which just so happens to be on the day of a van attack against art students…

The Black Lives Matter narrative has taken over network television's fall season. This has made most law and order dramas numbingly predictable. With a few notable exception like Blue Bloods, most cop and legal shows are churning out mindless angst over "systemic racism" and bad, bad police officers.

On Nov. 25, NBC's Peacock network premiered its new reboot of the popular 1990s sitcom Saved by the Bell. Rebooting old favorites has become a trend in Hollywood, with writers increasingly relying on famous brands from decades ago and updating them with more diverse casts and woke themes. This has included remakes of sitcoms like Charmed, books series like The Babysitter's Club…

Last month, Fox's Family Guy premiered an episode in which the characters imagined President Trump, First Lady Melania and Vice President Pence hanging themselves in prison. So it should not be surprising that this week's episode, "Pawtucket Pat," on December 6 went all in on biased political caricatures popular among the left. 

Despite an occasional dip into political correctness, CBS’s Blue Bloods usually takes the rare stance in defending the police in media. Thankfully, the latest episode continues that trend with the show standing up against the charge of “systemic racism” in the NYPD at the height of anti-copaganda. Christmas season is truly the time for miracles.

Network television has devoted this fall season to the BLM narrative and endless racial guilt-tripping. Television writers apparently prefer that white Americans walk on eggshells in their relationships with black friends and neighbors than just treat everyone as fellow human beings.

Despite all the changes from COVID-19, CBS’s Young Sheldon seems to be mostly the same. Namely, it continues to disparage religion, Christians, and even the very notion of God in the first place. This time around, the show compares God to an “invisible monkey” that doesn’t exist. For a show about a child genius, it’s a pretty dumb argument.

ABC's sitcom Black-ish routinely promotes left-wing propaganda on its episodes, but who would have imagined they would use their Christmas episode to trumpet the abortion industry?

With only two remaining episodes, the financial conspiracy of Devils will soon be fully revealed. In the meantime, the show continues to blame investment bankers for ruining ordinary people and causing suffering and death. The latest episode also portrayed the 2011 Italian debt crisis as the fault of corruption and trickery by banks, rather than bad governance, overspending and other…

After a 10 episode run, Fox’s Filthy Rich is finally over. The show was canceled late last month due to low ratings. It seems viewers weren’t too keen on the offensive portrayal of Christians, week after week centered around one televangelist family, the Monreauxs, with Margaret (Kim Cattrall) the matriarch running the show.

Native American groups aren’t fans of ABC’s latest show Big Sky, but the drama may be making bigger strides with the LGBTQ community. First, there’s the casting of a transgender actor in a main role. Then, there's an out of place scene warning about “all the hatred out there” for trans people.

Like so much of television this season, CBS's S.W.A.T. jumped on the Black Lives Matter bandwagon for its season premiere two weeks ago. This week's episode, "Memento Mori," on November 25, featured another BLM storyline, with a discussion of the movement to defund the police.

The Black Lives Matter agenda must be intense if the 1980s aren’t safe anymore. In yet another example of pandering to the woke crowd, the ABC comedy The Goldbergs reminded its audience that “racism's everywhere.” BLM must be determined to leave no show untouched by its propaganda.
