Seems like every time a good black t.v. show is on the air it revolves around negativity or some image that screams "we safe up in here"! I mean think about, Good times was the show when I was young, but how come the father (who was a strong family head) couldn't keep a job. That family lived with the smallest of smallest means. Still we loved that show. What about Uncle Phil from the Fresh Price of Bel Air? He did have a career and a nice house, but why he gotta be extra healthy in the tummy area? He had an obvious food addiction and the butler often let him know he was over weight.
Oh, so you don't think my point is valid, consider Officer Carl Winslow from Family Matters? Again a fat safe black man that America could accept in their homes each week. Now that I think about it, how many black youth dressed like that weird Urkel character anyway? Oh sorry I got side tracked, I do recall Mr.George Jefferson, I think he is the reason we can't have more positive black shows no more-lol! That man was self made with an attitude that he wasn't afraid to use on the man! He was a lot like I wish I was I guess. He did it his way but at the end of the day he always did the right thing for all involved. I hate to say that Terry Crews on Every Body Hates Chris, is all we really had recently, but that sucka was not only cheap, but the show was set in the 80's. Does that mean that ain't no good black families in 2010????
Fast forward to (((NOW))), I don't see nothing out there that moves me like it use to! I know what you thinking, but movies don't count cuz its over in 2 hours. Oh well, it don't really matter any way cuz the dang reality shows have ruined it for errry body! Flavor of love 1-3, I love New York,Real Chance of Love and For the love of Ray J. I think I am just gonna live off my Martin and Sanford and Son Reruns......
I am Ward.....
