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.
Yes, BET is the obvious suspect. But it is true that minorities watch whatever is on tv....but of course I was speaking of the two extreme cases. If the extreme cases arent 'large', then there is no problem. About minorities having no choice, that is pretty much the conclusion of the thread.
Both of those Channels had my favorite shows, The Wayans Bros., Jaime Foxx, One on One, & Malcolm & Eddie. What channel had Living Single? And doesn't Fresh Prince count? If it does, that was a long time ago, and yes that Damon Wayans show was good, at first, don't remember what made them change it.
Living Single came on Fox channel and Fresh Prince Of Bel Air came on NBC. I liked One On One too. The last season of the show was corny because a few of the characters left and they added new characters like Brandy's brother/r&b singer Ray J. I haven't seen Everybody Hates Chris in a long time because i work 2 jobs. I like that show. Girlfriends got cancelled. Diana Ross's daughter Tracey has some big eyes LOL.
No shit, Girlfriends got cancelled? Damn, Kelsey Grammer had himself a gem with that one. And yeah One on One got cheesy once Flex stop coming out, him and Duane. Everybody Hates Chris is the last of a dying breed then.
Black shows are wack now and there aren't that many networks that will have black shows except the CW. You're right that Everybody Hates Chris is the last of a dying breed. I don't know what black shows are on now because i work 2 jobs so by the time i get home from work, i don't see that many shows. I used to like Steve Harvey Show, Malcolm And Eddie, In The House(Maia Campbell's fine ass was on here and LL Cool J's female friend Paulette Braxton is fine too), The Parkers, Parent Hood with Robert Townsend, Roc, South Central(Larenz Tate, Lamont Bentley, Maia Campbell, Jennifer Lopez, Clifton Powell was on here), In Living Color, Living Single, Fresh Prince Of Bel Air, Jamie Foxx show, Family Matters. Lincoln Heights is a good black drama show. It comes on ABC Family channel. It should be back on in the fall. The oldest black girl who's a daughter of a cop on the show is cute.
I used to watch All Of Us also with Duane Martin, Elise Neal, Terri Vaughn, Tony Rock, LisaRaye. I love LisaRaye. She is so damn hot. I watch House Of Payne sometimes. That's Tyler Perry's show. It comes on TBS channel. That's surprising that TBS has that show because TBS has never had a black show. Allen Payne's ex wife on House Of Payne is hot. Robin Givens and Keisha Knight Pulliam who was Rudy on The Cosby Show has been on there recently. Robin is Allen's girlfriend and she still looks good.
Damn you went modern to old school to current to old school. That's the shit. I couldn't really watch the Parkers, seemed like a fat version of Girlfriends. Is Eve still on the air?
I used to like that In the House show until they changed the show around and took that little geeky boy off, for some reason. He was the funniest part on the show. Later on, that black crazy woman that would stop by a lot to bug LL Cool J was weird. lol The black girl that lived in the house with LL was nice looking.
I think the girl from the One on One show is pretty. She was in the Fat Albert movie. I'm going back a lot of years, but does anybody remember a show where Doug E. Doug and his friends would hang outside on the stoop? I think Flex was in the show also. The show didn't last that long.
I remember when that girl that played Rudy from the Cosby show was in some rap videos. She has a really nice body. What happened to Raven Symone? She's getting pretty heavy. lol
Isn't there some black comedy show on TBS with a bunch of fat people? lol I think there should be more heavy people on tv, it makes things more realistic since a lot of the US is overweight, and obese.
Raven Symone is big but she's cute LOL. I saw her recent movie College Road Trip with Martin Lawrence and Kym Whitley(she's from my hometown Cleveland, Ohio). Check Two, you talking about Kim Wayans who was crazy on In The House LOL. She's very silly. You're also talking about the black show House Of Payne that comes on TBS that has the fat black couple. That show comes on every Wednesday night at 9pm i think. Tyler Perry cracks me up when he plays Madea. King Tron 1, Eve got cancelled a long time ago. I liked that show too. The puerto rican girl that played on there is cute.
Now I'm not black, I'm mexican-american so we have even less of shows, but I always felt welcomed to these "black" shows, even tho I don't really categorized them as such, to me they just sitcoms. Damn, Eve got cancelled, no more Martin re-runs, no more In Living Color on BET, they taking away all my favorite shows.
AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHhhhAHAH!
your from cleveland? how come you haven't posted in this thread yet Charles Jones

Did anybody see that new sitcom with Flavor Flav in it? lol I think it just started last night. It's called Under One Roof, and it's on My Network TV channel. Anyway, I saw some of the show, and it wasn't too funny. And the fake laugh track every two seconds just makes it worse. lol In Living Color reruns are on that channel now also.
I saw a commercial for it but i have no interest in seeing it. Flavor Flav is ignorant and i wish he wasn't in Public Enemy. I can't believe some of those cute girls that be on Flavor Of Love have kissed his ugly ass hahahahahahahahahahaha. They've even slept with him LOL. That just goes to show you what women will do for money. Remember Redman and Method Man's corny tv show that got cancelled? Hahahahahahahahahaha.
Execs messed Red & Meth's show beginning with the name.
Redman and Method Man need to stick to doing music because their acting is terrible. If they spent more time doing music instead of movies and tv shows, they would have some albums out sooner LOL. Their fans are anticipating their next collabo album but i don't think it's gonna happen because Def Jam doesn't appreciate real hip hop anymore. Plus Method Man's solo albums are garbage and Redman's last 3 albums are terrible to me so i wouldn't buy anymore albums from them anyway.
How did a thread about George Lopez turn into one about Red & Meth? LOL but I see your point, but they should do the same thing that they did back when they dropped Tical 2000, Doc's da Name 2000, & Blackout! with their new albums.
that angie pic is sizzinling
I read about it in the newspaper today. It's about 20 of them i think that were killed last week. This happened at a black high school on the west side in Chicago. There's some gangs at the school also and the police believe these killings are gang related. Hearing stuff like this is so sad. It's a god damn shame that kids aren't even safe at school anymore and then what makes matters worse is that i bet most of the kids at the school live in bad neighborhoods and they gotta worry about their safety everyday. No wonder these kids won't succeed in life after they graduate or if they drop out. There's more bad kids at school than good kids. Good kids constantly get harrassed and teased for wanting to learn and that's why some of the good kids kill themselves because they get tired of being harrassed daily. I wish poor good black kids could afford to get homeschooled because homeschooling is the best thing for good kids because these public schools in the ghetto are horrible.
Damn that's some tough shit to go thru.
After reading that a second time, it made me realize how lucky I am, since I used to live in such a bad neighborhood, good thing that I didn't stay.
That's why it pisses me off that bad kids are allowed to go to school with good kids. Bad kids need to have their asses locked up in prison for life because i bet that would teach their asses a lesson that when you do bad things, your ass will suffer the consequences. These bad kids aren't being disciplined enough in school and the principals aren't doing shit to these bad kids. When these bad kids get in trouble often, their asses need to be sent to prison or expelled from every school. When these bad kids see that they can't go to school because schools won't accept them because of their behavior, then they will be on the streets and they will see just how hard life is when you don't know shit because you don't have a education. I also blame the parents of these bad ass kids. The parents are some punk ass bitches because they're afraid of their kids and they don't discipline them and teach them some god damn manners. The parents of these bad kids don't need to be having kids in the first place because they act like they don't have time to raise their fucking knucklehead kids. I'm surprised i survived high school because there were times when i wanted to kill myself because i got tired of being dissed and laughed at daily for wanting to be somebody and learn something. Most black boys and black men are fucking animals. That's exactly why i don't like being around them. I've had lots of jobs working with only black men and if i had to do all over again, i would've walked off the job and quit because i refuse to work with them ignorant muthafuckas. From now on when i apply for a job and if i see only black men working at the job i apply for, i will walk out the door. Then blacks wonder why whites stereotype them.
this should be dan cooley'd cause it's charles jones.
but that's a sad thing to here, but you can't filter "bad" and "good" kids, how do you tell? and when you keep kids out of school so that kids will go to school aren't you defeating the purpose?
but still, dan cooley this.
What's fucked up is that sometimes the parents went thru the exact same situations and feel since they got by okay, they automatically assume that it gonna be the same with their children.
Teachers and schools have no control over kids anymore.
They cant do anything. Detention? suspension? Expelled? These kids dont give a fuck about that stuff. They do what they want and no one can stop them. Teachers want the parents to do something, but a lot of parents either cant control their kids, or dont give a shit anyway.
Kids with potential get put in these schools and it gets driven out of them. They learn to accept less from their lives, because of their backgrounds, neighbourhood, race, whatever.
Society is really shitty right now. Things go in circles, and at some point people are going to stop putting up with this shit.
Fuck you faggot. Dan Cooley my dick bitch. What you mean how do you tell the difference between the good kids and bad kids? Teachers and principals can tell which kids are good and bad, you stupid fuck. Get your faggot ass outta here and stop posting on here cause everything you type is ignorant bitch.
TheWolf you're absolutely right. Bad kids have a don't give a fuck about nothing mentality and that's why they will end up in prison and dead at a young age. Public schools in the ghetto are a joke and they've been like that since i was going to school. I started going to school in the early 80's and shit hasn't changed with these schools in the ghetto since then.
I also think a similar thing happens with teachers.
Potentially good teachers loss their enthusiasm and drive to teach children. Because of the rules and curricullum in schools.
They spend their time dealing with unruly kids. They cant express their ways of thinking to kids because they have to stick to what 'needs' to be taught, for good test reasults etc.
Charles Jones is a secondary.
last time i checked the "Bad kids" don't have a tattoo on their neck that says EVIL, you can't keep kids out of school good or bad
that's gonna end in black kids no being allowed in school REGARDLESS of what they're records looks like, and every kid does "bad" stuff accept the wierdos that are gonna end up in pornos or pushing pencils anyways.
kick a kid out of school when he messes up?
so that he can kill you outside of school?
