No new episodes of Nashville, Law and Order: SVU, or Modern Family have aired since February 5. Each Thursday morning I check Hulu plus hoping, praying, but am once again disappointed when it prompts me to Watch Again instead of bringing me new hijinx and escapades of Juliette Barnes, Detective Olivia Benson, and the entire Dunphee/Pritchet clan. I've asked myself why and the only reason I came up with was the Winter Olympics. Why air new episodes of beloved TV shows when the nation is transfixed by double axels and skiing with rifles? I WILL TELL YOU WHY TELEVISION EXECUTIVES: GAY RIGHTS AND PUSSY RIOT. Some of us are boycotting Sochi due to Russia's egregious human rights record. Don't you think we are the people who really enjoy Juliette Barnes country ballads and personal struggles? Wouldn't this have made a great episode of Modern Family; Cam and Mitchell both decide to boycott the games but Cam just can't keep himself from watching figure skating and sneaks over to Gloria's to watch it, but forces Manny to keep it a secret from Mitchell, hilarious misunderstandings ensue. Wouldn't that just be delightful?
But no, executives, you chose not to capitalize on the boycotting audience. Shame on you.
