Major Hannibal fan and I was watching his show like

He's definitely not suited for this kind of role. Not sure how the ratings look but I hope it gets better ASAP.

smh at Key and Peele not being black now. Keep that dumb sh!t in the root.

I've known Keegan since he lived in chicago and was in second city back in the early 2000's. He's never identified himself or been seen as anything other than a black man. This coli movement to selectively exclude mixed niccas is the dumbest wave ever.

Breh, we have to stop with this "auto-support black shyt" mentality. It doesn't help the quality. As a matter of fact it hurts it.

If we don't hold our TV and Film to a high standard we won't ever get good TV or Film. I want Hannibal to succeed, I think he's among the best of the new breed, but I don't want him stuck doing this subpar show for 5 years when he's better than it.

If the "auto-support" mentality was a thing back in the late 90's, Chappelle would have been stuck doing a studio audience sitcom with Jim Breuer about "one black friend, one white friend" for 5+ years and we never would have got the Chappelle Show.

Wow, you couldn't be more wrong. You think studios are going to work harder to impress black audiences? Of course not. When you let black shows and movies flop they simply don't make any more. They look at the ratings and how much money it makes and they say "see told you it wouldn't work" then they fire whatever black person produced the show and pour more money into tried and tested infallible white talent...

You have to prove that the market exists. Then prove that its profitable. Then MAYBE they'll be willing to create more diverse and quality programming. Empire is garbage but its undeniably opening doors for more black programming.


But with that said, you have no obligation to support shyt that you don't like. Just make sure you support the shyt you do like...

I do feel what you said, and I don't think it's wrong, but my point still stands.

If we let Hannibal's subpar shyt stay alive, we either have to wait forever, or never see him in the thing he's supposed to be in and will be good in.

Louie had failed pilots and that HBO show Lucky Louie flop, leading him to this iteration of Louie.

Again, your point make sense, prove the market exists, but the problem with the business is, once they realize the market exists, they're more likely to give you more of what worked rather than more variety.

Sitcoms poppin'? More sitcoms! Giving late-night panel shows to subpar comedians? More panel shows!

Jermaine Fowler, a dope young black comedian I think is hilarious, did a pilot this past spring for ABC with Whoopi Goldberg called Delores & Jermaine, studio multi-cam about a young guy living with his wacky grandma and it didn't go. When it was announced it wasn't picked up, he tweeted "Ah well, off to try making a single cam on cable" (paraphrasing)

Whatever he makes next is undoubtedly going to be better than a sitcom in front of a studio audience with Whoopi Goldberg. That's really my point.

If you didn't watch Hannibal's new show, I recommend it. Pretty funny first episode.

I didn't know he had a new show :ohhh:.

He's pretty funny stand up wise, but after watching that weird ass Eric and Andre show...:francis:
