So what is his issue with the “extreme left” exactly if those were the shows he picked?
You could legit just read the screenshot and answer your own question.
Looks like Jerry is a pretty mainstream liberal who is okay with shows tackling issues of their own volition, but doesn’t appreciate the current production model of everything having to pass through focus groups, committees, and wanker consultants, coming out the other side so impotent and safe that it doesn’t arouse the intellect enough to really make a point or stand for anything specific.
Like if you watch Disney stuff and think that’s normal, you’re part of the problem.
American television was always known for production interference, but it was mostly from advertisers, bored executives, and censors. Not even close to the same thing, widespread use of focus testing and demographic committees and having 12 different sensitivity consultants is all relatively modern, and that’s on top of most of the traditional interference.
And you in all likelihood knew all this, but chose to waste our time anyway.

Sorry… you think that’s current? It’s always been that way.

That is absolute nonsense. And I do know this because I worked in the entertainment industry for over 10 years. Did you?
Did Seinfeld?
A person heavily involved in TV production since 1989 doesn’t seem to agree
By “a person,” do you mean Jerry Seinfeld?
That couldn’t have been subtle enough to ask.
