ABC's Designated Survivor

ABC doesn't care about politics as long as it makes money

Strange, i don't see much if anything on their network that's Pro-right/conservative.. But they have a hell of a lot that's pro-leftist.

Maybe everything isn't political

[garhkal]

It certainly seems to be...

[jelgate]

It's not. It's about what makes a profit

I wouldn't say that. Consider Grey's Anatomy. Isaiah Washington (Jaha on "The 100") played a Doctor on that series. Sometime around 2006 or so, he apparently used an anti-gay slur directed towards a fellow cast member in a public location. The following year, he was released from the show and his character was written out of the show.

For several years after that, ABC, and in particular, Grey's Anatomy was in heavy "mea culpa" mode, trying to appease the LBTQ crowd. They brought in several gay relationships into several series, including G.A. and some of those continued for several years. The blonde female pediatrician in GA is currently seeking a new gay partner, based on what I saw the last time I watched the show.

ABC is certainly "politically aware".

Still money

How can it all be about the money when they are trying to appease the LGBTQ crowd, who represent what, 2% at the most of the viewing public?

Well, 3 eps into the new season and its going good, BUT this weeks episode was VERY heavy handed in its push that "illegal aliens = good, companies wanting to protect American workers = bad"..

You're kidding, right?

You have a lot to learn about how demographics

Well, I've enjoyed the show from the beginning. I've enjoyed watching Kirkman develop as a character. I'm looking forward to the second half of season 2.

I enjoyed season 2 of this, and that's a good thing, 'cause we won't see a season three. At least not on ABC. It has been cancelled.

There is talk of a Netflix deal, though... so who knows?

[Skydiver]

well shoot. I have issues getting ABC and the way my cable works I can’t only watch one thing, so I binged season 1 off dvd and was planning to do the same with season two.

[LtColCarter]

Well...this stinks.

Maybe Kirkman is going to run against Trump in 2020.
