MT was on the show when it aired, so will give that a pass.
Freddie's cousin was definitely an unnecessary character.
I don't remember if his character attended Hillman or a nearby school.
I know it says the show title, but wtf is this? I only recognize 2 people.
The white dude on 227.
Who? I don't remember anybody white on that show. Haven't seen it since I was a kid.

They do that shyt on purpose. Point to the negative reviews/reception and say 'hey man we tried, but the audience didn't like it, guess we gotta renew Nashville for a 17th season instead.

There's a thread in the film section of coli where I posted thisThey do that shyt on purpose. Point to the negative reviews/reception and say 'hey man we tried, but the audience didn't like it, guess we gotta renew Nashville for a 17th season instead.
showing what I guess is the logic for adding white characters. Look at the difference between how well NY Undercover was doing among Black audience versus general tv viewing audience.
* I posted the page and cover as a receipt for another argument, and of course....once I put up the proof, the people I was arguing with scattered and fled...like cowards.
They add token black characters to white shows all time. Why wouldn't there be token white characters in black shows?
It's my legit opinion & I only just came to this conclusion within the last year or so.
I used to sorta feel the same way you do about about token white characters in black TV shows & films. But I thought about and when it comes down to it, black TV shows & films are being produced and/or distrubuted by white Hollywood studios just like the white tv shows/films are. And whites & non-blacks reguarly watch black TV shows & films, so of course Hollywood studios/networks are gonna want token white chracters in these black tv shows/films that they produced/distribute.
And they can justify it by the fact that they put token black chracters all the time in white tv shows/films, especially nowadays with so many tv shows with a black lead/co-lead or Black chracters as part of the regular cast because of Hollywood's diversity push the last several years.
