Ok, I'll admit I'm partial to "The Inspectors"
with Jessica Lundy [a]

TV Showrunner Ben Wexler Calls For Georgia Boycott After
Anti-LGBTQ Bill Passes
Ben Wexler took to Twitter to drag the Georgia state senate after they
passed a bill that would allow adoption agencies to refuse to place
children in same-sex couple households based on religious beliefs. Not

showrunners to follow suit.
"To my fellow showrunners: if this dumb bill becomes law, let's be
done filming television shows in Georgia," tweeted Wexler.
