I'm particularly happy about FBI being a massive viewership success, the fact there's a US procedural TV drama where one of the two main leads is a Muslim, who's played by an actual Muslim actor (and Egyptian too) and is quite popular with American viewers (gets around 8 to 10 million viewers) certainly brightens my day.

Also, the Queen Latifah led "The Equalizer" reboot being a big viewership hit is proof that the whole "Go Woke, Go Broke" argument is nothing but a load of rubbish.

General audience don't care whether something is "woke" or not as long as they can get some entertainment value out of it.

Lot of show about government programs in the top, I wonder if I should be worry about that. Good to know simpsons and family guy are at a low maybe they finally get canceled, shame about bobs burger, maybe that why they are making a movie end it on a high point or to finish it off.

I had a nose bleed trying to read that but I think I know what you ard talking about.

Family Guy if they end now will stay that way. When it was first canceled, it had a large enough following especially with DVD sales to bring it back. It went the way of the Simpsons. No one care anymore.

Didn't help that, unlike the Simpsons, Family guy didn't know when to stop with jokes before they got too offensive which would tick off viewers.

And apparently the Simpsons is very popular in Latin America which helps balance it out.

Did not know that.

As far as being offensive. South Park has been offensive for years. Family Guy just got tiring.
