gold jerry, gold.
the george lopez show was da dopest show ever! i seen every episode n wish they made another season!
his wife and daughter a eatoutable.
(she was my age at the time, or older, so no pedo)
Yup.
I liked that show but I dodn't get his most of his stand up comedy. It was mostly Mexican/white analogy jokes that I didn't get because out of all races Hispanics probably have the lowest ethnic population where I live. I can stick to the black and white analogies...even Asian and white works.
sux 2 be u^
I Said It Sux 2 Be U Cuz U Said Ya Aint Got No Spics In Ya Town,
And Sux 2 Be U Cuz U Dont Get His Stand Up,
The Dude Is Brilliant, His Stand Up Is The Dopest!
I guess im missin out.....
*goes back to watching punjab standup with white analogies*
I have that Charles barkley book, but I have to start reading it. I would agree with you Charles Jones. I can't really think of tv shows on channels such as NBC, ABC, and CBS that have a big minority cast. Also, it shows how mindless people are when there are like 20 different Law and Order and CSI shows. How many similar types of shows do people need? And enough with all the dancing and model crap shows all over the place.
There are a lot of shitty reality shows on the major network channels and not enough minority shows. I think the reason why minority shows get cancelled so quick is because minorities don't support the shows that much. Plus there's more white people in america than minorities so you know most white people aren't gonna watch black and hispanic shows. Law And Order show has 3 of them and CSI show has 3 of them LOL. That's too many series for one show.
Some minorities like minority shows....but sometimes they follow too close to the minority issues. Sometimes that is fine, however when those shows are sitcoms that make small jokes involving the issues then there is a group of the similar minorities that cry stereotyping. On the other hand if they arent 'cultural' enough then they are 'whitened'. In short there will always be a large group of minorities that dont support the minority show if they are on the extremes.
Everybody Hates Chris is the only minority show that I can say besides Girlfriends, that are like the top shows, but none from any from CBS, ABC, nor NBC. The CW was great at first, they should've kept it both UPN & WB seperate.
what shows do you here people crying about stereotypes? martin? in living color? one on one? half and half? maybe it was that show homeboys in outer space on the wb with that racist ass frog character lol. or maybe it's flavor of love and all of its spin offs. or how about damn near any show on bet.
as far as minorities and watching tv, they'll basically watch whatever is on tv black white mexican whatever. as long as it's not educational they'll watch. minorities really don't have a choice when it comes to television programs.
from what i've observed, and i've been watching tv for some time now, is that the corporations will not put on a show that really reinforces positive images of minorities, nor do they really have minority shows unless there's crazy stereotypes in it, and if the stereotypes aren't blatant, the acting is. there's a certain way minorities act in these programs.
i really don't see extremes in minority programming on regular tv atleast......cable is something else though.
