    • <p>ABC’s latest medical drama may be a formulaic blend of <em>Grey’s Anatomy</em> and <em>House</em>, but it’s the fall’s highest-rated new drama for one reason and one reason only: star Freddie Highmore. So why does <em>The Good Doctor</em> continue to insist on showing us scenes that do not include Freddie Highmore? The only time we want to see characters who are not Highmore’s Dr. Shaun Murphy are <em>(a)</em> when they are talking to Dr. Shaun Murphy or <em>(b)</em> when they are listening to Dr. Shaun Murphy talk. And if for some reason the story requires a scene that does not involve Highmore, <em>The Good Doctor</em> would do well to include a picture-in-picture “Dr. Shaun Murphy cam,” so that we know where our favorite character is at all times. — <em>Kristen Baldwin</em><br /><br />(Jack Rowand/ABC) </p>
    • <p>Yes, Kevin’s addiction to painkillers makes total sense: He’s an actor on the verge of breaking big who doesn’t want to miss his shot because of a knee injury that already stripped him of a college football career, <em>and</em> the son of an addict whose death he still doesn’t want to talk about. But the show should keep doing mini-time jumps between episodes so we can move this arc along. No one wants to watch Kevin hide his problem from his family and his nurse girlfriend (no matter how great Justin Hartley is in scenes). And many of us don’t want to see the writers rely on corny, horny Toby for the moments of levity Kevin used to provide. — <em>Mandi Bierly</em><br /><br />(Ron Batzdorff/NBC) </p>
    • <p>Before he was elevated to the mayor’s office, Courtney Rose had dreams of rap stardom coursing through his head. Sadly, he hasn’t had many opportunities to demonstrate his mad flow since his swearing-in. That’s a missed opportunity for both the show (which, let’s not forget, is exec-produced by <em>Hamilton</em>‘s Daveed Diggs) and its likable star, Brandon Micheal Hall. Just as <em>Crazy Ex-Girlfriend</em> enlivened the rom-com with its mixture of pop songs and show tunes, <em>The Mayor</em> could bring some fresh swagger to the political satire genre. — <em>Ethan Alter</em><br /><br />(Tony Rivetti/ABC) </p>

    Trump’s farmer bailout just hit $7.7 billion – but 'it no way makes us whole'

    Vince...: He noted that the money particularly helped at a time when farmers are renegotiating their loans and talking to lenders....What BS the money going to big corporations not the small farmers. Farm Bankruptcies Are on the Rise, and Trump’s Trade War Isn’t Helping. Eighty-four farms filed for Chapter 12 bankruptcy in Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana in the 12 months that ended in June, according to a new analysis from the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. That’s more than double the number over the same period in 2013 and 2014, and the number of bankruptcies in Minnesota doubled over the past four years from eight to 20.
