The seventh episode of HBO’s The Young Pope, which aired February 5, depicts the Pope (Jude Law) going through a crisis of faith, while his fellow Cardinals celebrate over his possible resignation. The Pope's confessor, who has been revealing all the Cardinals’ confessions to the Pope, confides in Sister Mary (Diane Keaton), “The Pope doesn’t believe in God.” Later, while the Pope tries to…

The new CBS series Superior Donuts premiered on Thursday night with a surprisingly free-wheeling, non-PC attitude. Within the first few scenes it’s mocking a millennial in a gender studies course and a businessman from Iraq. However, to exist in this country, I guess you have to make one offensive joke for every decent one, and demonizing cops is as insulting as it gets.

CBS’s new police drama, Training Day, debuted Thursday night with the episode titled “Apocalypse Now.” Based on the 2001 movie with the same name and using the movie’s director (Antoine Fuqua) as a producer, the show diverges with its portrayal of a badass older police investigator who pursues justice by unapologetically playing outside the rules.

Just a couple of weeks into his administration, President Trump has used the G-word – something his predecessor did only reluctantly and the media continue to refuse to do. At the National Prayer Breakfast Thursday, Trump mentioned the threat to religious minorities (Christians) under ISIS and in other Muslim majority nations, calling what’s happening “genocide.”   

Who was it that demanded to know Russell Wilson’s take on current events? C’mon, fess up! Somebody asked – probably a 49ers fan wanting somebody else’s QB to look like an idiot for a change. 

Tuesday night’s episode of Freeform’s The Fosters, titled “Insult to Injury,” was the winter premiere of season four and the network (formerly ABC Family channel) continued with its deliberate promotion of liberal Hollywood’s aggressive LGBT agenda through the use of young people.

In a dramatic episode on Monday night, Quantico finally righted a colossal historical atrocity. They handed the White House to America’s first (unelected) female president. After watching terrorists murder his wife, President Todd resigns and hands the reigns to his far more qualified running mate, Vice President Claire Haas. But even before she can begin, Haas is besieged by doubters.

We already know that The CW's Jane the Virgin was "with her," but they came back with another swipe at President Trump again this week. Rogelio blamed Donald Trump for “ruining romance” and the Spanish-accented narrator piped up that Trump has ruined “a lot of other things, too.”

The sixth episode of HBO’s The Young Pope made another blanket, heretical statement about Catholic priests. Additionally, the episode, which aired January 30, contains two power-hungry speeches given by the Pope (Jude Law) aimed at destroying the Italian Prime Minister and an order of monks. 

The media freak-out this weekend was the funniest thing on TV (as last night’s SAG awards proved). It was the latest episode in the Trump-says-something-slapstick-ensues series that’s enthralled comedy fans since the election. Trump puts a temporary hold on immigration from a handful of really messed up countries that may or may not care who they’re shipping here and journalists turn every…

Who’s more threatening? A professional athlete who disrespects our flag and our troops and supports the radical activism of Black Lives Matter and the ruthless dictatorship of the late Fidel Castro? Or an athlete who wears a Trump hat?

Sunday night, FOX aired the 2017 Miss Universe pageant and a new winner was crowned. Thankfully, host Steve Harvey made the right call by announcing Miss France.

During the 23rd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards on TBS Sunday night, a strange call to violence was issued by actor David Harbour as he accepted the award for Best Ensemble in a Drama Series for Stranger Things. Mind you, the stars of this Netflix series are children.

The 23rd Annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards broadcast on TBS Sunday night could best be described as an elite anti-Trump protest. The herd mentality of the liberal Hollywood bubble gave the viewers a political message with almost each winner’s speech. Out of 14 awards, 11 of the winners inserted their leftist politics into their acceptance speeches, totaling a full 10 minutes of airtime.
