The Show Must Go Woke!
Some Hollywood producers showed test audiences three episodes of a woke police drama (Show A) featuring “a young POC policewoman who gets dumped by her girlfriend and transfers to a new precinct in a Southern town where she is shocked by the racism, sexism, and abuse of power of her new colleagues as well as their poor relations with the communities they serve.” The drama was being shopped to Netflix, Hulu, and other streaming services.
For contrast, they also showed test audience three episodes of a fake cop show (Show B) about “Two young detectives (two white guys, one Ivy League and the other a good ol’ boy) who are partnered in Vegas where they cultivate informants and recurring girlfriends. Every episode includes a fistfight with chairs and bottles flying, every second episode has a car chase.” It was a put-on based on old “Starsky and Hutch” scripts and loaded with cop show tropes; intended to contrast the old and busted with the new hotness.
Guess which one the test audiences preferred.
Unfortunately for the studio, according to the insider, Show B “tested better with all groups, no matter age, sex or race.”
Well, duh. Real people — not woke NPCs — don’t want to be lectured to, they want to be entertained. The left has taken over all forms of entertainment. Movies, TV, even professional sports, and turned them into platforms for social lecturing. Because the left can only think of these media as vehicles to convey The Message. To paraphrase the Ayatollah Khomeini.
“A Woke regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in woke ideology. There is no humor in woke ideology. There is no fun in woke ideology. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.”
And woke Hollywood properties are at about the same level of popularity as the Islamic Revolutionary Regime in Tehran about now.
The big studios still don’t get it, though. The woke feminist head of Universal Pictures is really keen to do a female-led reboot of the Fast and Furious franchise.

And it had Klinger.
I like the meme with the same image of Klinger in a dress side by side. The caption is “1950 – Trying to get discharged / 2020 – Trying to get promoted”
A little?
Fat & Furries.
Assuming you’re talking about Corporal Klinger and not some one-off episode/character I don’t recall at the moment, no it didn’t. It was explicit throughout the series that Klinger was cross-dressing solely for the purpose of getting a section 8 mental illness discharge, not because he actually thought he was a woman.
But since everybody knew that, he never got one.
He almost did once, when he was pretending to be a bus driver in Toledo or something, but Potter caught him in sort of a trick question.
