You have a strange knack for stating the blatantly obvious and missing the blatantly obvious at the same time. City of Angels was targeted specifically for black people who tuned out ER and Chicago Hope, so that black people would have their own serious medical drama to watch just like the white folks watching those other shows made for them.

Well I didn't see that episode, but overall City of Angels just wasn't that good. But it was still much better than the crap on UPN, so I can't argue with you on that.

>- well that is just where we disagree.

OK.
