'This Is Us' Ends Episode with Plug for Bloomberg's Everytown for Gun Safety

Many fans tuned into the latest installment of This Is Us, titled "Kamsahamnida," on Tuesday night. The episode was packed with drama, as usual. Kate was helping Toby fight depression, Kevin decided to go to Vietnam to follow his dad’s story and Randall was running for office in a local election. Randall wasn’t the only person trying to solicit votes in this episode, though.

One of the writers, Dan Fogelman, pointed out that they snuck in a crafty plug for liberal candidates and their agendas at the end of the episode. The end card or vanity card is becoming a popular tactic for Hollywood to even more directly insert politics into their shows. In the final moments of the episode, between the last scene and the credits, we see a card (pictured below) dedicated to the Tree of Life synagogue shooting victims—who, like the characters of This is Us, called Pittsburgh home.

Many fans? Well if they say so. Another deep thinking show I suppose. From what I've seen advertised, it seems my choice to NEVER watch it was well founded. Perhaps there will be a show that suggests folks look to the Bill of Rights. Nah

I have a pretty conservative couple as neighbors that speak highly of it also, I’m gonna have to ask if this changes their minds.

Nah. It supposedly a show where everyday folks like us can relate to the story lines. NOT! At least me anyway.

I like the show. I watched last night’s episode today and saw nothing that offended me. Anyone who saw otherwise is going out of his way to find something with which to be offended.

Don’t really watch much network tv anyway and this is a good example of why.

We like it. But it’s pretty dark. I can ignore the crap for entertainment. Curious to see where the Nam storyline goes.

“Don’t care for Zoe much though.”

I’m with you. She seems pretty shallow.

Smart- aleck humanism.....devoid of faith, each with their boat-load of personal issues dealt with by neurotic mentalities. I learned to keep my mouth shut while family members watched it.

Three humans born on the same day with a devoted, loving father makes for a great story. I love Jack and Dr. K. and Randalls birth father. Wonderful characters last season.
