Same here. I liked the show and watched it as there really wasn't anything else worth watching on Friday nights.

Disappointing for sure,ABC continues to show the open mindedness and fairness in media....I loved this show really the ONLY reason I watch ABC. Guess it can be deleted from our tv channel list now. I hope FX or CMT or someone picks up a sure winner of a TV show.
B-b-but...

Conservos hate Hollywood and celebrities, remember?

Actually the networks are turning away from more political talk. Even wrestling companies are. Evolve fired former ECW play-by-play commentator Joey Styles for making a "grab them by the..." joke in a promo. Not only did he lose his job there, but other places as well. I'm not sure if it is right or not but it is how entertainment is adapting to the snowflakes on both sides of the issues.

My favorite show is "Black-ish" on ABC.

They are always talking about political and racial stuff on that show. Their shows leading up to and after the election were hilarious due to the grandmother in particular (who calls Jesus "Black Jesus" and who one of the kids interviewed about her political affiliation and she said she was a Democrat then answered all the questions she was asked from a Republican perspective. It was hilarious).

Shows today have to have some sort of controversial element in them with a spin on the funny (in regards to sitcoms) to be successful.

Last Man Standing was a funny show as well because of the above. I particularly enjoyed Tim's banter with his black neighbor.

I don't watch a ton of shows on regular TV but of the ones I watch, they are primarily ABC shows as stated earlier. And all of them have had some sort of political edge to them. Even Modern Family.
