I’m from Canada and watching Scandal and enjoying it. I think it’s about time American caught up with the 21st century. It’s okay to show interracial couples on TV and for those who don’t like it, don’t watch, you have the right to pick up the remote and change the channel. Will America ever get over this thing about skin color??? I hope so.

If Olivia was a white woman you would have nothing to say about her sleeping with him.

SLOW.
DOWN.
THE.
DIALOGUE.
PLEASE.
This show is very entertaining, but if Shonda Rimes thinks it’s “cool” or “engaging” to have the actors speak so fast, then count me out. I live and work in DC, in a political job, and NOBODY talks like this here. It’s laughable. Get real or get gone.

Scandal canceled are you kidding me? This absolutely positively one of the best shows on television. If persons are not physically able to watch the show for one reason or another than they are recording the show and I don’t know if the Neil ratings can capture those numbers or not, but make no mistakes about it the talk in many venues in about scandal. So please most definitely cancel Scandal it is a top rated show in every sense of the word.
