|In this American adaptation by [[liberal]] TV producer [[Norman Lear]] of the [[BBC]] series ''Till Death Us Do Part'', Lear inaccurately depicted Archie Bunker, a blue-collar conservative and head of the Bunker family, with liberal traits like [[bigotry]] and ignorance while depicting his son-in-law, socially liberal and politically [[leftist]] [[hippie]] and [[Democrat Party|Democrat]] supporter Mike Stivic (referred to as "Meathead" by Archie), as the "voice of reason." The show portrays the mother and housewife as a "dingbat", a very derogatory name that she is called on the show by her own husband. Many episodes focus on on the political, philosophical, and cultural clashes between Archie and Mike, while Archie's wife Edith and their daughter Gloria try to keep the peace. In the original British series, Mike's counterpart on that show, Mike Rawlins, was a [[Trotskyism|Trotskyist]]. Ironically, Archie Bunker despite being treated in a negative light ended up being more well-received by audiences than the main protagonist Mike Stivic largely because of his stubborn rejection of the counterculture, to the extent that the American series later spawned a sequel, ''Archie Bunker's Place'', which ran from 1979 to 1983, and his chair was one of the historical museum pieces in the Smithsonian.<ref>''The Politically Incorrect Guide to the 1960s'' by Johnathan Leaf, page 97. Those Were the Days. The show most people associate with the clash between the sixties counterculture and the older generation, ''All in the Family'', did not premier until 1971. It is hailed by liberals today as a ground-breaking sitcom that "pushed the envelope" of acceptable fare for TV. In all the praise, however, it's forgotten that what made the show so beloved was the popularity of its featured patriarhh, Archie Bunker. Although the character was supposed to be an unenlightened, illogical bigot, he became a hero to millions of Americans for his stubborn rejection of the counterculture. It is Archie Bunker's chair that has become one of the most famous exhibits in the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. Meanwhile, Bunker's counterculture antagonist is now mostly remembered for the derisive nickname Archie gave him: Meathead.</ref>

|Based on the DC Comics superheroine of the same name, this latest entry to the DC Comics-based shared fictional universe dubbed the ''Arrowverse'' on the CW has gone even further to the Left than previous adaptations, including ''Supergirl''. Title superheroine Kate Kane, who takes up Bruce Wayne/Batman's job after he inexplicably disappears from Gotham City, is an "out" lesbian: the first episode reveals she was discharged from a military academy for entering an affair with a woman named Sophie. It is noted for being exceedingly feministic and pushing [[social justice]] to an immense level, and the pilot even has a cameo from far-left MSNBC correspondent [[Rachel Maddow]]. It has been criticized as being composed exclusively of themes of social justice.<ref>https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/culture/lindsay-kornick/2019/10/06/lesbian-batwoman-fights-social-justice-and-not-much-else</ref>

The show was later hit by the announcement of the exit of Ruby Rose from the show in May 2020.

|This sitcom follows the lives of an upper middle class African American family in Los Angeles, California. The plots of most episodes usually push liberal ideologies such as gun control, vaccinations, and even abortion. In trying to subvert black racial stereotypes, it only furthers the stereotypes it claims to be against. Worst of all, the season 3 episode "Lemons" exists only to attack [[Donald Trump]].

|Don't let the premise of it dealing with teens growing up in a suburban neighborhood fool you. The pilot episode's script was infamously controversial for including several racey and risque sex-related plotlines. During the second and third seasons, it advocates homosexuality as series regular Jack McPhee "comes out" as gay and, in the third season finale "True Love", engaged in the first on-screen same-sex male kiss on live action television with his "boyfriend" Angus (which had apparently been forced into the episode by producer [[Greg Berlanti]], threatening executives to quit if they didn't cave to his demand). The ~~1998-1999~~ season even was ranked #1 on the top worst shows of that season on Parents TV largely because of its excessive references to gratuitous pre-marital sex, pornography, and condoms, and at least one reference to masturbation, plus its promotion of teen homosexuality, and to add insult to injury, the show was aimed at a young viewership via the 8:00 PM timeslot as well as having younger protagonists.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20080430140836/https://www.parentstv.org/ptc/publications/reports/top10bestandworst/98top/main.asp</ref>

|No, you're not reading that wrong. Hollywood green-lighted a TV series with [[Satan]] as not just the lead character but the "hero" too, despite history and the Bible proving otherwise. Then again, it should come as no surprise, because the show is based on graphic novels by atheist British author and graphic-comic artist/novelist Neil Gaiman, who is in an [[open marriage]] with his spouse and whose works sometimes switch the personalities of God and Satan in a revisionist manner. The show was originally canceled by FOX in May 2018 due to low ratings, but was revived by streaming service Netflix a year later. On September 10, 2021, the series finally ended, surprisingly, after six seasons.

Seasons 9-12: After saying goodbye to the late Charlie (a response to Sheen's dismissal from further appearances following his real-world bout with alcoholism, drug abuse, and adultery), Alan meets and takes in tech company billionaire Walden Schmidt, whose divorce from his wife is presented positively. In one episode, Alan's ex-wife Judith is implied to have undergone a lesbian one-night stand. In another episode, Alan's son Jake comments about getting a sexually transmitted disease as if it were a badge of honor.

The miniseries claims the homosexual agenda began as an offshoot of the [[Civil Rights Movement]], but nonwhite Americans would consider this claim offensive due to the agenda's attempt to compare sexual preference to skin color (a person's skin color is a trait from birth, but homosexuality is not) as well as a cheap attempt by the LGBT movement to hitch their wagon onto legitimate civil rights for nonwhite Americans. As expected, liberal media reviewers heaped unwarranted praise on the miniseries, while the conservative website [[NewsBusters]] was far more critical of it, calling out the miniseries, its producers, and writer-creator Dustin Lance Black for their revisionism and lies.<ref name="When We Rise"/> Not surprisingly, few TV viewers were willing to watch the miniseries because of its pushing of the homosexual agenda, liberal ideology, historical revisionism, and whitewashing, making it the lowest-rated program to air on the Big Four broadcast networks each night it aired, putting ABC in fourth place behind CBS, NBC, and FOX while barely tying with the CW.<ref name="Rise Failure"/><ref>[http://www.dailywire.com/news/14020/backlash-gay-and-transgender-tv-die-ratings-john-nolte BACKLASH: Gay and Transgender TV Die In the Ratings] at ''The Daily Wire''</ref>

|This sitcom stars a homosexual lawyer, Will Truman, and a straight interior designer, Grace Adler, who share an apartment in New York City. It attempts to normalize homosexuality in society and uses Will's lifestyle to pander to a targeted LGBT audience. The third main character, Jack McFarland, is a sporadically employed actor and a flamboyant, promiscuous homosexual whose life revolves around homosexuality almost every waking moment and attempting to get sexually involved with every man he comes across. Finally, the fourth main character, Karen Walker, is an amoral socialite whose existence plays up to and makes light of [[alcoholism]] and prescription [[drug abuse]].

Despite its subject matter, the series became a surprise hit for NBC as part of its Thursday night "Must See TV" lineup, drawing an average of over 17 million viewers at its peak during its third and fourth seasons, before its ratings fell in later seasons. One seventh-season episode, "From Queer to Eternity", drew a record low viewership of just 5.8 million as viewers began tiring of the show. It ended production in 2006 after eight seasons, and its reruns, which entered syndication in the fall of 2002, largely vanished from broadcast syndication in 2008, retreating to cable thereafter. It was revived by NBC for an abbreviated ninth season on September 28, 2017, during which time the network claimed it had already renewed the series for a tenth season. However, its return episode, "11 Years Later", dove straight into politics as it made pathetic jokes about conservatives, attacked Donald Trump, and took a cheap shot poke at Ronald Reagan's later struggle with Alzheimer's disease<ref>[https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/culture/amelia-hamilton/2017/09/28/will-grace-embarrasses-itself-trump-reagan-jokes 'Will & Grace' Embarrasses Itself With Pathetic Trump Jokes, Abhorrent Shot at Reagan's Alzheimer's] at NewsBusters</ref>, causing it to garner only 10.18 million viewers for its return. Later episodes in the revival steadily lost viewership; its February 20, 2020 episode "Accidentally on Porpoise" fell to just 1.95 million viewers, making it the lowest-rated episode in the show's history. The ''Will & Grace'' revival did not last as long as it did in its original run, as it was announced on July 25, 2019 that its 11th season (which ended on April 23, 2020) would be its last.

Similarly, some countries have the decency to censor or alter lesbian scenes and dialogue explicitly when they import specific episodes of the series, but when this happens, the liberal fans are guaranteed to complain and get their way like the spoiled, entitled adult children that many of them are.

Line 1,063: Line 1,063:

|An adult spin-off/"prequel" of the classic 1969 cartoon ''Scooby Doo'', ''Velma'' ends up being a lot more mean-spirited and [[woke]]. The titular character - who in past incarnations had been both intelligent and friendly - frequently jeers at Fred for being a straight white man, and she herself has been race-swapped into being Indian American as a narcissistic self-insert of her voice actress and series co-creator Mindy Kaling and for woke points (the 2020 animated film ''Scoob'' did have Velma be switched to Latina, but not at the expense of the character or story like ''Velma'' did); Fred himself has been twisted into a rude idiot being the butt of jokes due to being a straight white man. Shaggy has also become race-swapped, being a black man who only goes by his given first name and is a much more unsubtle stoner with an unrequited romantic interest in Velma. One episode even features a lesbian kiss between Velma and Daphne, the latter being the half-Asian adopted daughter of two corrupt lesbian cops who deal drugs; a kiss between them somehow gets Velma out of a panic attack, a subject in which many people feel that the more family-friendly film ''Puss in Boots: The Last Wish'' managed much better. Scooby-Doo doesn't even appear in this show, despite ''Velma'' being inspired by ''Scooby Doo'', because the writers believe he is too "childish" (though many people are happy that Scooby doesn't show up, lest he be butchered like the other characters). There are some disturbing scenes of implied pedophilia and illegal ephebophilia conduct, with Velma hinting that children should know and want to draw genitalia (while ranting about the patriarchy as well). A disturbing moment occurs when Velma, who is supposed to be under 16, pole-dances in front of her father at a strip club to get his attention.

''Velma'' has united the right and most of the left against the show, resulting in a lower score on Rotten Tomatoes (starting at 50% and dropping to 40% as of February of 2024), while the audience score was even lower, at only 6%. Only the very far-Left defends the show because of "representation". To the delight of many, however, ''Velma'' has been canceled after two seasons.

|On the one hand, the three titular superhero girls seem to be the only protagonists capable of fighting their ~~city’s~~ various supervillains, while the police, consisting mostly of men, are depicted as bumbling and oafish, making the girls feminist (it ~~doesn’t~~ help that one of the working titles for the show was the more profane ''Whoop*** Girls'').

On the other hand, since the girls were created by a scientist to be the “perfect little girls,” they could be more ''feminine'' rather than feminist. They try to fit into traditional gender roles despite their capabilities, and they learn family values from the professor who made them and serves as a responsible, knowledgeable, reasonable, tough but forgiving father-figure well-versed in various scientific disciplines. Plus, the recurring antagonist “Him” is an obvious reference to [[Satan]], which hints at support for Christianity; and he is an androgynous being who demonstrates some effeminate traits, which unsympathetically depicts and satirizes gender confusion and homosexual lifestyles, respectively. Lastly, minor villain Femme Fatale personifies the feminist ideology as her crimes are built around feminist hypocrisy.

|One of the most influential cartoons of the 21st century, centered on an energetic, anthropomorphic sea sponge (who more nearly resembles a kitchen sponge) and a diverse cast of his underwater friends, is decidedly one of the most politically ambiguous.

On the one hand, whether it may be considered far-fetched or not, the series seems to suggest that capitalists are inherently malign or simply obsessed with money, as the main ~~character’s~~ crustacean employer, the fast-food restaurateur Mr. Krabs, is inclined to put money before others’ interests, sometimes at the expense of others’ well-being. In addition, SpongeBob and his dimwitted starfish best friend Patrick Star have a habit of annoying Squidward Tentacles: a quick-tempered, cynical octopus who lives between them, behaves apathetically on his job as a cashier, and may be a copy of ''Sesame Street'' character Bert because both characters have interests that others find mundane. They tend to not face comeuppance for their childish actions against Squidward (though there are exceptions), which may teach that being annoying is “acceptable” adult behavior. Some episodes also have controversial overtones. For instance, “Rock-a-Bye Bivalve” is infamous for depicting SpongeBob and Patrick raising a baby scallop like a homosexual couple, and a handful of episodes like "The Jellyfish Hunter", "Keep Bikini Bottom Beautiful", and "SpongeBob's Last Stand" touch on themes of environmentalism. Moreover, one of the series’ worst-received episodes, “One Coarse Meal,” tries to make bullying look humorous because it centers on Mr. Krabs driving his microscopic arch-business rival Plankton to suicide by appealing to the ~~copepod’s~~ secret fear of whales, a fear that is not present in any other episode. SpongeBob himself even displays some flamboyant tendencies that can be seen as gay, though Stephen Hillenburg had stated that SpongeBob would reproduce asexually like normal sponges (splitting into newer sponges); 2020 has Nickelodeon disregard this information to push SpongeBob to be a "queer icon".<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2020/06/15/nickelodeon-celebrates-pride-month-with-queer-icon-spongebob-bisexual-and-trans-characters/</ref>

On the other hand, many episodes where SpongeBob works his regular job as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab teach young audiences to value hard work and persistence as SpongeBob eagerly strives to make the most of his rather ordinary job. Most episodes where Plankton appears draw a clear distinction between good and evil, showing the errors of stealing and conducting business through illegitimate means, as ~~Plankton’s~~ schemes to outcompete Mr. Krabs, the more competent businessman, or steal his Krabby Patty recipe always backfire. In addition, depending on the writer(s), Krabs can serve as a surrogate father figure to SpongeBob, teaching him to stay out of danger and not act as impulsively as he usually does. Lastly, the episode "SpongeBob, You're Fired!" has gained fame among conservatives for advocating self-sufficiency while lampooning the concept of the welfare state, mainly the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program: as Patrick tries to show SpongeBob the "fun of unemployment" by taking SpongeBob out to a free lunch with Sandy, SpongeBob quips, "Unemployment may be fun for you, but I need to get a job".<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2013/11/04/spongebob-mocks-welfare-state/</ref>

Plenty of ''SpongeBob'' video games have been released over the years, along with six movies so far. The first is the more conservative film, ''The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie'', from 2004. There are two spinoffs released - ''Kamp Koral'' and ''The Patrick Star Show'' - after Stephen Hillenburg's death in 2018, which many fans find to be in bad taste.
