Fr. I love comedies. Of course there’s insecure/Atlanta/the chi etc but there doesn’t seem to be many outright comedies

Maybe I’m looking in the wrong place

Roughly twenty five years ago, the culture chose to run with criminality featured over creativity.

In the past, George Jefferson owned a series of laundromats, Fred Sanford operated a junkyard, Bill Cosby was
a gym teacher and a doctor, Martin was a radio host, Carl Winslow was a cop.

Now, some of the most-watched series on tv the past five years have featured Black men relegated
to just one industry: the drug trade.

We've fallen and we can't get up.
