Robert Townsend Needs To Be Back On Television

[DaylitoJames]

Last week I read plenty of threads from "What Happened To Black Comedies?" to "Why There Are No Black Stars Today?" and etc... and my solution is that we need Robert Townsend to come back and produce regular black programing again. back in the 80's and 90s Robert and his crew had the game on lock with all of their fresh comedy and shows... if you can remember this from one of his shows then you see why I say he is needed again to help some young black stars today

With shows like that Bill Bellamy show and the show with Braxton from Jaime Foxx as president there is definitely still a place for him on someone's network.

No we need comic view back.

We need new blood. Townsend is out of touch.

 

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

Townsend is INCREDIBLY not funny

The game on lock you say

I loved the fukk out of his HBO Partners in crime series. And I have Hollywood Shuffle on my HDD and I watch it once a year still but his sitcoms? Those were sort of.. sort of
Its like he opened the door for DL Hughly or some shyt
HBO & Movies, yeah. TV shows, not so much imo

Robert Townsend was a fukkin genius man. Dude had the 80's on LOCK along with the Wayans and Eddie Murphy. All the work they did together was piff

He was one of my black heroes,

 

[Dada]

I did always like him. I didn't think he was super funny but that one movie was funny and I thought his tv show was wholesome/fun to watch. I'd like to see him back on tv.

 

[Majestyx]

there is no c00n or sambo in him, he couldnt survive now.

him and rusty cundief made some of the goat black movies late 80's-mid 90's
