Is the impact he's having on evening television.

Why writers and producers think it's appealing for their shows to try and accurately reflected what's happening today with Trump is beyond me. Every show seems to want to be a reflection on things like "Alternate Facts," and similar Trumpisms.

Thank the Gods for shows like GoT, The Leftovers, etc.

I quit watching network TV years ago. I much prefer the cable/streaming model of 10 - 15 episode seasons that you can watch whenever you like. The quality of show is better and when they are on Netflix/Hulu/Amazon you can binge watch and not get dragged into a months long saga.

Sounds like somebody needs his safespace back.

Seriously, what filth are you watching?

I'm going to guess Designated Survivor. I about gave up on it after the last couple weeks.

ugh. Made it about 4 episodes in to that garbage heap. Network has some decent enough comedies these days, but their dramas suuuuuuuuuck.

I feel like I do. I need some good and cheap television entertainment, preferably with boobs.

Yes, that's one of them. I told my wife, they smartly dumped the stupid **** about his kids (particularly his son), but the political stuff is annoying compared to the "who dun it" aspect of the show.

Agent's of Shield has also ventured into this world, as has Arrow.

And with Archer sucking balls right now, there's not much good to watch that's not on Netflix/Amazon/HBO/Showtime/etc.

You watch Fargo? Last night's was so, so f'n good (Carrie Coon!).

I watch Good News on NBC. Pretty bland comedy, but I find the lead broad hot.

No, but I've thought about Fargo. Looks interesting.

I did binge watch "Trial and Error", which was like an Office/Parks & Rec show. Pretty good as well. I miss the short half hour sitcoms.

Designated Survivor was interesting in the first few episodes. Since then NBC is using it to promote their leftist agenda. A couple of weeks ago it was gun control, last night it was saving the arts, all while sub plots involve removing an " illigitimate President ". Last night they featured a politician whose slogan was "Take America Back", a direct mockery of "Make America Great Again". I'm done with Designated Survivor.

Fargo is badass and it's not like you have to watch the first 2 seasons and "catch up" before watching the current season. Just dive in.

Fargo is really good. Loved the first two seasons. Coop is correct, all three seasons are independent. Binge watch it and you'll end up with a Minnesota accent.
