The problem that I have with the majority of the "black" shows today is that bottom line, the writing sucks. Of all of the shows that are shown on WB or UPN, can you name me one that has actual quality writing? It's like the producers say let's just get some popular minority figures to star on tha show: have a rapper guest star occasionally: throw a lot of materialism and sexuality on there and there's the show. Every now and then I will attempt to watch a UPN or WB show, but I rarely find it an enjoyable experience because there is no real thought put into the episodes. I can't give you a detailed account of why I don't like every show, because I don't watch them all. The only shows that I really watch on a regular basis are Seinfeld, Farscape, Cosby, and occasionally the Simpsons, All In The Family, and Sanford and Son. My idea of the ideal "black" tv show woudl be one that could represent a certain aspect of african american culture and actually have quality writing without blatant emphasis on sex and materialism.
