I like it because nothing works better at triggering you Trump supporters and it proves my point that you people are angry because you refuse to accept an America that treats people who aren't white, heterosexual, and fundamentalist Christian as equals.

Thanks for explaining exactly everything that is wrong with interjecting sexual deviance into stories where it is completely irrelevant to the story. Because what you just said is 100% of the reason it is done.

Ask the show's producers and Hollywood that. They are the ones politicizing everything.

According to Trump supporters, merely having people who aren't white, straight, and Christian represented on TV is pushing a political agenda.

Unfortunately right now everything seems to related to political agendas. In the past no one cared who was starring in a tv show or movie as long as they could act. People were able to enjoy the characters just for what they were not which PC group they belong to. But now Hollywood admits they do have an agenda and that is condescending to the viewers.

For crying out loud! It's a TV show. You don't want to watch it then change the channel back to Faux and enjoy your evening.

It is a pervasive MEDIA trend, and a fact. There is little one can watch, or read in 95% of the Media that doesn't push, promote, and attempt to mainstream the Far Left Agenda. It is indoctrination. Yes, I choose not to watch it, but that negates almost all entertainment, and what is today called "news".

We've all seen the damage your side has inflicted on America already. We're keeping score.

Threads like this are hilarious. First off libertarians exposing themselves for what they are, repugs who just hate taxes more than most.

Then the people who are mad because the white male is less than excellent. Did you actually watch the old Bewitched? Darrin was a doofus who had no idea what was going on half the time till his wife explained it to him and his boss Larry was even more clueless.


As for having a black woman be samantha, it seems the righties are more interested in talking about skin color than the 'divisive left'. Finally all the 'how would the lefties feel.if Cosby or the Jeffersons were remade with white people?!?!' That's really funny because Cosby has been remade lots of times. A family comedy has been a staple of network TV since I Love Lucy and Leave it to Beaver. I bet RWNJs are still upset the the Brady's had a divorce as part of the plot line. Those shows are still on today, like Blackish and Modern Family.

In Good Times and the Jeffersons, them being black was intentionally part of the plot line. The struggle of a lower class family who happened to be black. Remind me, was racism over then too?

As for the Jeffersons, their minority status had to do with a fish out of water storyline. Like the Beverly hillbillies but using race instead of social class. The Jeffersons were a little progressive, but not enough to have a white maid, lol.

TV exec's want to make money, not push social agendas. If they don't make money the get fired.

A black Samantha is perfectly fine... it's the premise that her witchcraft is no match for "white male privilege" that hilariously jumps the shark.
