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

    Me dino has to admit that, again and again, I will look at Watter's World and, well, ah, until I just get tired of all the talking heads and their opinions.
    Hey, is there an echo in here? Anyway, now I feel moved to express my love for TV remotes.

    I agree with you on the PC agenda that is prevalent on American TV today. We have discovered a new way for entertainment in Netflix and Amazon Prime. Bristish TV has better scripts, acting and scenery/props that American TV hands down. I had given up on TV until we ran into this discovery. Only problem is we have to use closed captioning for the British TV, they can't pronounce their words correctly.

    I like those too, and I tried to like The Angle with Laura Ingram because I follow Lifezette on FB. But she talks over everyone and it makes me frustrated.

    My husband and I also like a couple of sitcoms. Young Sheldon and Mom are pretty funny shows. Very witty.

    I don't sit and watch any news anymore - Fox or others. I remember the day I gave up on Fox news about a decade ago. They had a bloated guy on who was a "doctor" who said that mercury was good for babies. I changed the station that instant and never went back.

    Tucker was OK, but I really liked Blll O'Reilly and I do like Judge Jeanine. Tucker keeps getting liberal guests and what happens is so scripted it annoying. Hannity is better. The other segments hosted by the squeaky voiced women are worthless, given they try to be "balanced" and have a lot of liberal guests, which I dont need at all

    Yes, I always watched House and the X Files also. You had to think out of the box for those characters. The status quo was often questioned.

    Your post got me thinking about
    "The Lego Movie" my two grand boys were watching it and I sat down with them with in a minute I found the dialogue queer so I started watching. The movie is pure communist propaganda. The evil character was named President Business and the world was saved by a non discript no talent worker and the workers united against the evil business president.

    My husband watches those plus Waters World. I just get tired of all the talking heads with all their opinions.

    Sonic commercials depict a significant aspect of programing; white males live at a level of 4 year olds. Further, TV is being used to come into your living room and tell you what they want you to believe is normal. There were very few shows worth watching. At this point in time, I am considering continuing to follow one but I am doubtful. Old movies may be flawed by the technical standards of today but they may have a great deal more going for them than anything else available.

    Me dino watches some Tucker Carlson and Hannity; but when a lib guest becomes too irritating or when people start to talk over each other, that usually sends me channel surfing with my remote.
    On Saturday nights, I've been known to put a Netflix DVD on pause to at least catch Judge Jeanine's opening statement. Now that's a real woman!

    I knew TV had gone south when they started with all the black sitcoms where they paid them big bucks, but to act like idiots. Then their characters rubbed off on the black communities. Then almost every show with whites, present characters who can't speak proper English, dumbed down. Then it became child centered with parents who acted like imbeciles. Rmember when the mostly lowly hatcheck girl in an old movie, spoke proper English?
    MeTv put on Hawaii Five-) with jack Lord, but at a time I can't see it, as the local news is in its 7th repeat of the same story they ran since 4:30 p.m.! Loved to see McGarret book those bad guys. They took off the existential Route 66, and put on Alf and Mama's Family, trash.. Don't even mention the networks, which run one pseudo-reality show after another like the Roman circus, brain dead distraction. Even Hallmark loves to have characters feeding the homeless one day, with so plan to getting them off the dole, they just move on feeling os good about themselves. And, don't forget their required long-haired blond millennial who jjust happens to be an executive in some large corporation, based on what experience - riind me of Charile Brown, where adults are never heard, except whaa whaa sound. Is it any wonder women who never read are brain dead after watching those talk shows aimed at us women during the day, turns my stomach.

    I forgot to mention the Amazon series Bosch. It is an adaptation of Michael Connely's series of novels describing the career of Hieronymous (Harry) Bosch, a detective in the Los Angeles police department 1980's to present day. The novels are superb, and the tv series is very good, too (3 seasons so far.) More of an underbelly of the beast view of police work.

    Totally! I thought I was the only one who saw that. Nearly all (if not all) the Marvel shows have tumbled down that rabbit hole.

    A quote from Detective Murdoch in the last episode I watched (Season11 Episode6), "The satisfaction of a job well done is one of life's greatest pleasures."
    The Murdoch cast and crew also did 2 humorous short web-only episodes that you should wait to watch until after seeing the 5th season as "The Murdoch Effect" depends on the plot from that season.
    Enjoy!

    I used to watch fox news, but not so much now since they started pandering to this sexual harrassment stuff and got rid of their good hosts. Now there are more and more squeaky high pitched women who dont know how to interview.
