Unfortunately I can't exactly contribute to ratings since I'm without a TV but if my worth lies in spamming about it, then spam I shall.

If you don't already know, Kerry Washington's face is in this new show called Scandal on ABC:

Blurb from le Wiki:
Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) dedicates her life to protecting the public images of the nation's elite and making sure their secrets never get out. Olivia is a former White House communications director for the President, but has left to start her own crisis management firm, Olivia Pope and Associates. She is hoping to begin a new chapter of her life, but is finding out that she cannot leave parts of her past behind.
The show is not perfect, and I can't stand some characters already, but we've got Bechdel (since the women tend to talk about work due to the fact the personal lives are a bit of a mess) and characters of color (multiple even) and badass HBICs stomping all over Washington and owning everything. I approve.

Please, please, don't let this go the Undercovers way. I've already heard too much about how unrealistic and cheesy it can be and to all these people I say, I know you watched Chuck. Don't talk to me about unrealistic and cheesy. It's TV land, people. We like unreal, remember!

Also, Kerry Washington's amazing face (I mean, really now!) renders all your arguments invalid.

I still need to watch this.

Hogod, I know right -________- I personally have not yet heard this "argument" but it's ridiculous 'cause they'd only use that as an excuse when poc's get more screentime than the white people. smh

Pretty much, yeah. I'm gonna be using this in the future. Debating whether or not to watch Chuck in order to give myself some more credibility. I watched the first episode and it did nothing for me.
