@LaBellaNicole0416.NYC i would love to see something set in Martha’s Vineyard

just some fly shyt
I’m sick of family sitcoms and black traumas
And half breed struggle stor

oh god
I’m with you - the influx of corny sitcoms, slave movies, black trauma porn; our experiences are not always for entertainment. I’m over it. This is sooooo exhausting. Tired of these Tyler Perry-esque scenes on repeat. Godfrey needs his own show- that would be a saving grace right now but he makes the whites uneasy, doesn’t c00n it up and actually stands for something, so that’s not happening.

Why can’t we have more shows like Godfather of Harlem or regular sitcom series without all the agenda approaches? Even horror movies out now are “slavery” branded. It’s odee
:dahell:
There’s talent right here on the coli that could come up with better sketch tv or situation comedy/characters than what they try to force feed us.
:rudy:
regular superhero movies. - Black Lightning and @Luke Cage were all that we had in the past few years. Luke Cage was cancelled Way too prematurely.
:camby:
Mike Epps can’t carry his own show. 55 years old and still running off That goofy act he’s been running with for 25 years. And Wanda stopped being funny after Curb your Enthusiasm - she’s dry as toast. That monotone routine delivery that she does is old. She stopped being believable when she ran with the gay lesbian married to a white woman act in her shows for her white audience - now I’m supposed to accept that she’s back to black sitcoms. Fugazi.

At this point, YouTube is my go to source for comedy bc people can be free to be themselves and it’s way more authentic/creative while providing actual laughs.

Mike Epps and Kim kid together. Wanda and Mike brought it up he got Kim pregnant with him in high school

How inspiring - another “lol teen pregnancy turned adult struggle situation comedy” . Let me guess Kim Fields is extra sassy and rolls her eyes at least 5 times per scene. First few minutes in episode 1-the little girl is pouring syrup in her cereal; they make a joke about diabetes and being broke. Mike Epps proceeds to say “ forget the coffee, I got something hot and black waiting for you right now”

Show is trash.

Yup.

I watched the first episode this morning and I probably won't watch again. Show is too ignorant in some ways for me. Mike Epps character is a irresponsible married man with a ghetto ass baby mama on the side that's a worthless parent. I'm good on all that shyt.

Show has funny moments. But those a distraction. The undertones and right in ya face “here’s what they think about you” is apparent. Even with how they make it blatant that it’s written or created by two women. All in first episode or two you see he has multiple children, one which he didn’t raise, one that’s with another woman whom happens to be an awfully careless mother. Kids grooming to be strippers, drug dealers, robbers. 13 saying damn at school like it’s nothing, which we did too but it’s different now as I’m not 13 anymore. Nothing cute about it. Dirty car, penny pinching, ehh idk it’s like I get it but the execution could be so much more thorough.

the one “legit” or “clean” black man happens to be a gay son. shyt yo what else lol Sheila c00ning. Just now seeing the boss was with a black woman but left her for a black woman, they still work under her this shyt wild.



like put this story as a drama and it’s an entirely different discussion.
