Is any TV show immune to the left's agenda?

My wife and myself enjoy the PBS Master Piece stuff like Call the Midwife, Downton Abbey and Poldark

We also watch the veterinarian shows in NatGeo Wild and Animal Planet

Also, The Zoo is excellent !

Few other shows tempt us

That is entirely false. The media is not trying to include everyone. Not as if it was something natural but due to outside pressure. People should get rid of the wrong idea that Hollywood includes anyone because it wants to. It does so only under pressure.
 
Downton Abbey tested the waters early on with one homosexual kiss scene. After that, it was just about the servant’s angst, whenever the topic came up again (rarely). That was probably historically accurate. Everybody knew the man was homosexual, he didn’t flaunt it, everybody lived their lives.

You do know this is nothing new.
In the eighties there were no end of Very Special Episodes encouraging teens to become sexually active.

Sit coms in the 70s derived a lot of their humor from sex, as well as talk shows and even game shows.

Laugh In and Smothers Brothers (the sixties I think) ran on racy and/or liberal biased humor .

I’m not saying it’s okay. I’m just saying the bias and crudity is nothing new.

But we still have the power to push away from the TV set.
 
It occurred in stages. What we have today is very bad. Laugh-In tried to stay within certain boundaries. By the 1970s, a little bad, then a little more and a little more until today. Each decade getting worse than the last.

Movies ratings starting with the late 1960s: “G, M (later PG), R and X and now G, PG, PG-13, R and NC-17.”

An R rating today would allow for a lot more offensive content than an R from 20 years ago.

That was Thomas.

Call The Midwife is also testing the waters with both gay and pro abortion positions

The script left the book by Jenny Worth about two seasons ago. 😉

The first three seasons were excellent !

No one said or even implied that. The topic is whether or not the media is trying to normalize homosexuals and force everyone to not only accept the behavior but to glorify it and promote it.

Well they pretend that good-hearted, loving Christians don’t exist.

And they pretend that perfectly-sane, highly-intelligent, feminist-minded pro-lifers don’t exist.

And they pretend that dumpy, plain, tired-looking women with flabby arms and flat feet don’t exist.

And they pretend that people in small towns and farm communities are all backwards and racist.

C’mon, the entertainment industry moves and has their being in a fantasy world.
 
To add to your list. They pretend that over 90 percent of violent criminals are white males. They pretend that the majority of white businessmen are evil. They pretend that all non-whites are virtuous.

The entertainment industry is lobbied. The Walt Disney Company has assets worth over 98 billion dollars (as of 2018). They are, in effect, a country. They can propagandize people around the world and are under pressure to get certain messages across.

HGTV regularly features SS couples in their programs

I’m getting the feeling SS couples buy fashionable real estate all out of proportion to their numbers.
On the other hand, I also get the feeling that beachfront real estate in hurricane zones is extremely sought-after and that real estate buyers never consider property taxes or HOA fees when deciding if a prospective home fits in their budgets. (The last one might actually be true, alas.)

TV is also promoting the idea that there is something shameful about kitchens that lack granite slab countertops, stainless steel appliances and “updated” tile backsplashes.
I’m not sure that the normalization of high-end finishes and general slavery to fashion isn’t more of a near occasion of sin.
 
Fancy matters. Plus, they can make more money by telling people they “need” these things.

Someone once calculated what it would cost someone to live as the characters on “Friends” did. Their standard of living was far above their means, a recipe for being buried in debt.
Selling sin by glamourizing it is as old as sin itself.

No, they pretend that there is one normal way for people to handle their same-sex attraction, which is to treat it as if it were in no way different than any other sexual attraction. Marriage is an equally available (and equally optional) possibility for those conducting a genital relationship. The boundaries on sex aren’t a matter of morality; they are more a matter of ettiquette.
People who own pets, meanwhile, consider themselves “parents” to their cats and dogs. It is crazy.

To call the world that the entertainment industry lives in a “fantasy world” is an insult to Narnia, Lothlorien, and fantasy worlds everywhere. 🙂
