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.
