Powerful post...I cant say black folks are dying for a tv show about fighting oppression,and injustice though
...But the reality show shyt is a copout,those are basically soap operas and bytches have always loved soap operas,and those shows replaced soaps....the popularty of reality tv show drama didn't start with us anyway.
I don't think black folks are against a suburban/middle class California family,Moesha did just fine,Bernie Mac as well....I just watch this show and don't really care about any character on this show and nobody is standout funny....and the humor is somewhat watered down to not scare away white people which will turn away some black people...
People got mad when I said its time for a hood sitcom and weve had enuff Blackishes....I understand over the past decade hood sitcoms basically mean low budget,bad writing,about bullshyt,ovver the top borderline c00nish characters and most importantly not funny, but that's not what I was asking for....I think we are prime for a show like a Good Times,South Central with good writing,well written characters/actors..
I just think somewhere down the line we OD'd on well to do black familys trying to counter stereotypes....I didn't mean stop making shows like Blackish all together,but don't forget to represent the masses too and networks need to give those shows a chance...I just don't think Blackish is as great as some of yall are hyping it...as if it must be problem with black people who don't want to watch it
Its about 1 level above Family Time that comes on BounceTV that I don't see nobody demanding blacks need to watch....and lowkey I give it my stamp of approval based on the fact I watched it for a whole 30 minutes becuz I was so hypnotized by Angel Conwells wagon
Does that still come on breh? I know BounceTv is an affiliate which doesn't get everyone but I haven't heard much about it in a couple years so I figured they tossed it to the bushes.
And it would be nice to get a show like Good Times or South Central again but you'd need someone with the genius of Norman Leer to pull that off and I don't know if we have that anymore. Well I don't know if the hollywood system is built for someone like that anymore
...i watched about two episodes last season cuz i always liked Omar Gooding and his character of Mo on Smart Guy is underated
...Blackish couldn't even give us a fat azz version of Traci Ellis Ross
happens all the time
