How like a has-been reality TV star to turn a nomination to the highest court in the land into a prime time finale being hyped for ratings.

The series follows the lives of Lena Adams and Stef Foster, the Fosters, who are an interracial, lesbian couple living in the Mission Bay area of San Diego, raising Stef's biological son, Brandon, along with adopted twins, Jesus and Mariana. Lena is a charter school vice principal and Stef is a police officer.

What better way to offset his ratings than watching a show about a bi-racial lesbian couple raising a bi-racial family?
