on a cable channel like FX executing the same premise.


I loved that dude got the promotion (which they were telegraphing that he wouldn't get) but it was SVP of Urban.

I hated the repeated use of "keeping it real". No one uses that term anymore.

I hated the African Ceremony (too broad) loved the "They don't even like us joke.

Loved the use of Dead Prez.

Loved the mockery of field hockey.

Loved Obama the first president joke.

Thought it was funny boy wanted a bah mitzvah.

Need Larry to be more ornery. He needs to be saying sh*t that would get white people mad (a la George jefferson).

Hated that they ended up having a Bro Mitzvah. Seemed like a cave in. Just have a diddy style sweet sixteen.

Too safe and white audience geared in my opinion.

C+ in my opinion.



concept executed on cable. Maybe even FX.
