The most obvious destruction by SJWs is what's happened to the Star Trek family, with the latest version literally unwatchable. I much prefer The Orville, which is more like the original Star Trek.

We used to watch Elementary, the actors were good and I like Sherlock Holmes. But watching "Sherlock" go into a liberal tirade every episode was too much for me. Having a character who is supposed to be governed by logic spouting that drivel was more than I could take.

Remember Boston Legal ?
It spent the entire run criticizing Pres. Bush. (He was an easy target.)
I found myself wondering what they would do when there was a Dem in the White House.
The show was cancelled even though it still had good ratings.
Just another case of unimaginative cowardly biased entertainment.

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.

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.

Me dino has not seen those four listed shows. Save for being a "The Walking Dead" and an Alabama football fan, I usually watch Fox News or a movie.
Lib propaganda in a TV show may have started with All In The Family,
Even though the Vietnam War, rock music and the influential counter-culture of the late 60s was turning Teen Dino into a lib (I late 70s matured out of it), I'd groan when Meathead rattled off specific historical dates no one would remember when defending his lefty views with Archie, the most beloved bigot of all time.

I gave away my TV 25 years ago. I haven't missed it. I use that time to read and learn. I haven't been happier!

tv shows for the past ? number of years are designed to attract those who have been educated in government schools, you get what you pay for.

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.

TV shows I miss:
Alias
X Files
Fringe
24
Jericho
Equalizer

Foley's War-very good
Injustice-good
Broadchurch-good
Bosch-good
Murder in the First-good
Chance-good

Yes. While this doesn't exactly match your observation: I loved the first season of Walking Dead. Then, at least to my eyes, they took a chimp-fisted approach to character development and inserted a bunch of over-the-top drama between the living characters...Lost me in season 2.

But, overall...I cannot believe how stupid most tv shows are. I can't watch them. I can't watch any of the ones my wife likes, except the cooking shows. The tv has become a conduit into our homes to distribute material normalizing really dysfunctional behavior. I don't let my kids watch any of that garbage, nor the evening news. I noticed in their fervor over Trump, the prime time (dinner-time) news started covering very "Hard-R" material. My daughter's eyes got really big one night at dinner time when the tv was on. No more of that now...

Never heard of those shows but my wife and I have been seeing that same thing in many many shows that we liked for the first pilots or season then it turns to stupidity and we find ourselves looking at each other and shaking our heads.
Some decient ones we found and enjoyed
People of Earth
Schitts Creek 1st season
The Detectorists. Really ,liked can be seen on Netflix
Gold Rush
Wicked Tuna
The Last Alaskans

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.

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.

I wait until the shows are in Netflix. I binge on them until they become boring, and it can happen within days, instead of waiting for seasons to come and go

I only have viewed The Last Ship but got tired of it quickly...haven't watched any of the other shows...gave up on mainstream tv a long time ago.

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.

Not much left on the alphabet networks. I still watch Survivor but mostly stuff like Gold Rush, The Curse of Oak Island, and Bering Sea Gold. I can't watch news on tv for more than an hour because it spikes my blood pressure. I used to watch sports but now only a few college games (you know why!).The vast majority of the new shows are libtard garbage. If I had a better internet connection, I'd cut the cord in a heartbeat.

Absolutely. So many television series have started strong with really good writers delivering smart dialogue and amusing banter based on intriguing ideas. The X Files, Criminal Minds, CSI, and Boston Legal are good examples. My guess is that they suffer from attrition. The talented writers, having achieved some degree of success and notoriety, take offers to move on to new projects. As a result, the creative team gets mired in mediocrity.

Some of these shows I like, but the one that I liked the most was Shadowhunters..a series of the movie City of Bones... first season was entertaining... now at the end of every show, they have two guys kissing.... hope they make room for another show soon.

Longmire-good

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".
