hell i watch The Game every now and then. when it was on CW, i probably watched it more

them tyler perry shows on tbs arent really that good to me, i watch them occasionally when nothing else on.
only house of pain & are we there yet

hell what other black shows on?
because my tv viewing consist of Suits, Royal Pains, Necessary Roughness, sports, and cartoons. news every now and then

Archer, Regular Show, Magic City, and maybe a few others are on my Genie. Hell, I still have last season of Dem Thrones on my shyt. My ol lady records all of the black shows and I've tried to watch. I really have but they're so fukking bad.

The Game wasn't shyt when EBT picked it up. I know it is the same writers, but the network censors everything. It was better on CW, but that network have a thing about "black shows" being successful

Out here in my damn drawls
First, think about the bad taste a lot of women in general have in regard to TV shows and movies :ohlawd:. Now limit that demographic down to just black women.............there you you have it. A majority of black shows cater to black women, and they are f*ckin' terrible. It's the same when at the other end of the spectrum with white ladies; They just have raggedy, corny tastes :scusthov:....................in my opinion :troll:

Don't tase me, brehettes :lupe:

Because they try to hard to make nikkas appear to be well-off and doing so well.

I'm not saying we need another "Good Times" struggle show or something, but let's be honest, all black people can't relate to these bougie shows UNLESS the writing/casting is exceptional. Fresh Prince, Cosby, even Family Matters etc., all had great writing, characters. Then those shows are great no matter what color you are.

Nowadays they think you throw a nikka on TV living in a nice house, working in an office job and it's a hit show. smh

In all honesty, now that I think about it, it doesnt matter what "color" the show is. Married With Children was a great show b/c it had great writing/characters.

Just seems black shows(as do many others) these days lack effort whereas we used to work harder to make our shows stand out

:ohhh: :ohhh: :lolhov: :lolhov:

Yeah, I caught that too...that's a helluva Freudian slip. lol

...but like y'all have said, The Black Crusaders won't let black people have a show unless it's about "upwardly mobile" black people - and we all know how entertaining that is.

Homeboys in Outer Space....the chick that played "Amma". :wow:

I'm STILL trying to give that bytch Amma a baby and NO ONE CAN STOP ME :blessed: :heh:

...and Hilary Banks....

...and prime Maia Campbell on "In The House" before she became a crackwhore.

Reagan Gomez on "The Parenthood." :takedat:

Nikki Cox on "Unhappily Ever After" (I know...I know, but c'mon) :lupe:


I miss the 90's. :noah:

Anyway, I watched "House of Payne" a couple times last year. It wasn't TOO awful. Pretty fukking ridiculous but I was moderately entertained.

Maybe there just aren't enough popular black comedians that want to do sitcoms out here. Seems kind of risky when reality-TV is so lucrative. I don't know.
