Politically Correct Television
I can deal with every aspect of PC tv (even 105 lb girls beating 280 lb, tatted up, violent- criminals senseless) except one: its utter predictability.
It's just no fun to watch when you know from the jump which characters MUST turn out to be the bad guys and which are off limits. And which characters must be scripted to get the last word in, crack off the funniest insults, and be better at their jobs.
I do not care what the color, gender, or sexual orientation of tv's heros are. Really. But when producers willingly forfeit the element of surprise, they lose my interest.

Even worse.
Less than 15% of prime time shows include fathers as central characters!

Why should they?
It's the state that will take care of all...they've been trying to pound that into kids' heads forever...and it's working.

I’m not saying your statement is false, but some supporting evidence is always helpful

This is very insightful Dave. I see it every day.
It is horrible. Every "first of the month" I see it too.
I have employees that are perfect examples of it.
As soon as Biden gives 30 mil Illegals amnesty I am going on a hiring binge. At about 1/3 less pay
