I saw a pretty funny article about why Yellowstone was so popular. I wasn't going to click on it, but since it was the AV Club I told myself that it's almost a guarantee that somewhere in the article would be some attack about how white people like it. Of course I wasn't wrong. The writer of the article couldn't understand how the show was so popular when it didn't have much buzz online. Of course as you know they couldn't resist whining about the lack of diversity because in current year a good show is determined by diversity/inclusion.

Yellowstone, Better Call Saul, and Blue Bloods are pretty much the only non-animated current shows I watch. I haven't seen 1883 because I am not getting paramount plus for one show and also because they suck with modern day Star Trek.

I used to think networks and streaming services would see the popularity of Yellowstone or Blue Bloods as a lesson but I was wrong. Hallmark had great ratings and gave their demographic what they wanted, but they have foolishly listened to the morons on social media and now it looks like there will be gay side characters and they are already complaining that it isn't enough. Hopefully Yellowstone won't cave, but I think the next season will be the last.

As someone who loves Leave it to Beaver and Father Knows Best I could almost guarantee a show made today that celebrates the traditional family would do well. However it would do well with the "wrong people".
