Social issues have always been in TV shows. Its television....whether we like it or not, people care about those issues and if it's popular in social spectrum then it's going to find it's way into TV. It only becomes a problem when it's a social issue where there are two sides but only one is represented. If it's a social issue where there's only one side to it, then who cares? Nazis are bad....racism is bad....there's no harm there.

This is an article from 1979 about Happy Days working in a social issue before they even called them social issues.
The golden girls always covered social issues:

A Million Little Things (a show i mentioned earlier) is a show that does a pretty good job on incorporating social issues and doing it's best to capture both sides. They sometimes miss but I don't think they're pushing an agenda when that happens.
I think this is more of a case where you a) need an appetite for this kind of show (comics, gore, satire) and b) need to actually watch the show to fully understand. However, I don't think that's in the cards for you.
thanks for making my point. agendas being pushed thru tv and movies has been a problem for far too long and is only getting worse. when i watch something i don't want to be told what the other side thinks about my side. just make a show and leave the commentary. it's why i stick mostly to pureflix and old westerns nowdays.
