Black TV Shows Are Increasingly Drawing Substantial Non-Black Viewership, According to Nielsen

[BrothaZay]

To be fair, 99% of black shows out today don't really cater to the urban black market anymore regardless.

nikkas in the inner city aint really fuccin with Atlanta and Blackish type shows

 

[Poitier]

am i suppose to celebrate?

 

[mrken12]

Most of the shows listed are CAC friendly so not surprising.

A black show being considered white friendly is an oxymoron. And I mean a show that has a mostly black cast. Not the Shonda Rimes produced shows.

Dont worry guys they'll be another white friends type of show that will be championed by white media and put on top in no time...

I mean you dont want white america to be portrayed in an true light I mean having an all white cast set in a all white city is what america is truly all about... :trollol:

This Is Us - black man raised by whites

Secrets and Lies - Michael Early plays a wealthy biracial man

Pitch and Blackish - biracial actresses in the lead

HTGAWM and Scandal - heavy dosage of swirling

No mention of insecure or Atlanta
Funny you mention black ish, would you also consider girlfriend s CAC friendly since it starred the same girl?
i won't try to defend shondra times shows or pitch
But from the one episode of this is us seemed like he was desperate to reconnect with his birth father
Never even heard of secret and lies

Everybody Hates Chris probably had a 90% White audience, and the show was Black as hell.
White people love Black shows.
White people love "Fresh Off the Boat and Jane the Virgin" too and those are Asian and Latino shows respectively.

Thing is, that's such an incredibly small-market its a waste of money to cater to them.
I'm sure Power is pretty popular with White people as well.

 

[Northern Son]

There goes the myth. "Buh! Buh! white people don't relate to black shows and so they'll fail!" And good o'le "liberal" Hollyweird been saying this for the longest.

Underrated comment. Racist ass Hollywood and delusional nerd fandoms always repeat that mantra to shut non-whites out of leading roles.

Black-ish

its a safe show
a lot of those shows panders to white audience

What's an example of a not safe show.

 

[Easy-E]

White people have always consumed black Media. The biggest issue is we dont control black Media

This.

 

[Reality]

Cacs are obsessed with us. Whats new.

If blacked was on tv it would be the highest viewed adult show on tv.
