Dumbing Down of TV Shows

Have you noticed how some TV shows seem very intriguing, interesting and well acted during the first season and then they start introducing leftist/liberal/progressive ideology into the story lines and then the show turns into some uninteresting indoctrinating, nonsense? Maybe I am being too judgmental, but I get so disappointed when the drivel starts. Even shows like Shark Tank are less interesting to me once I realized these people are not real businessmen/women in the true sense because their values are off. Here are a few TV shows I really liked in the beginning until the leftist propaganda started seeping in:

Designated Survivor
Mr. Robot
Berlin Station
The Last Ship

    Counter point to dumb television shows which seem to be so prevalent these days, some of the programs my wife and I are entertaining. The Orville, Lucifer(entertainment only) Madame Secretary, NCIS and Josh Gates Destination Truth(interesting & entertaining). In addition I watch I watch Knightfall (about the Knights Templar of France along the lines of the Vikings show) and Street Outlaws(street drag racing & colorful language). I enjoy car racing in general and wish someone would come along with a 1000 hp electric car and outrace some of their top cars.

    I have pretty much given up on news. Maybe 2% really gives me things that I need to know fort my life. The rest is hidden agendas and propaganda. Waste of time

    Long ago I heard a comforting phrase that I hold rational..........."Where do you bury a good dog? In your heart."

    Some can never be happy regardless of their quantity of wealth.........M is going for viewer, thus ratings, thus income enlargement.

    Not to mention the commercials run longer than the "news" segments..............opted over to Fox Business......much better.

    Network TV is a wasteland... the streaming providers are putting out all the good content. Some of my recent likes have been, "The Crown", "Stranger Things", "Black Mirror", and "The Path".

    Yes, that is a Season 7 leaker, I want to see how that all shakes out. Peter Dinklage is awesome as Tyrion, one of the best characters.

    It is classic Fantasy lore. Build a world and fill it with a history and then a boatload of characters, it is just they are always short of anyone that is really good, even when you think they might be. The one good guy they killed off season 1. I have season 7 coming on DVD Wed.

    Very documentary, they really are looking for a treasure, and there is a huge backstory that has to do with lot of various historical figures.

    He stands up to the liberals, but his current show gives too much air time to them and gets into kind of senseless arguments with them. Becomes boring

    Old turkey neck ain't perfect. Even though I miss Bill, I have used the remote to surf off his show also.
    Trump ain't perfect either. I've voted for Jess Sessions in the past: but if I were in Trump's shoes, I would have replaced Jeff as fast as he started to recuse himself from any stuff whatsoever.

    It's too bad since they did a pretty good job on the ethical, heroic main characters. Damn Hollywood propagandists can turn gold into lead.

    Longmire was a classic- one of my faves, too. I have about 3 episodes left to watch. Someone should make a mini series of (Return to) Silverado. Need a new cast except perhaps for cameo appearances by the aging originals.

    I watch Seal Team on CBS only because of the eye candy. :-) Plots are OK. Acting is OK. Actors very good looking. Look what I have become! Eyes popped, mouth open in shock

    I liked all of the good Bill did when he got behind an issue, but to me he was such a bully and he was very much a gov't man. I cannot tell you how many times I heard him say, "Why isn't the gov't doing something about that?", or along those lines. He also was so anti Rand Paul and Ron Paul. And with his ego and with the power he had at FOX I kind of believe he did sexually harrass women. I think it all went to his head. Just my two cents worth.
