black-ish

[Brooklyn Bully]

Anyone catch this last night? I thought it was pretty clever. Looks like it could really go places.

I fail to see how this is nerd related

My bad, I thought we put TV stuff in here. I mean BIG BROTHER is in here.

Bunch of nerds...

I watched it. It's sorta funny but it's also racist to think that all white people think of blacks that way. Larry Wilmore is a very smart and funny dude though and his episode on the Office is one of the very best.

The reviews are all OVER the place. Some black people HATE it some LOVE it. Some white people hate it because they say the title is racist (morons). I thought it was pretty bold to depict a stereotypical "black person that acts 'white'". Even in the episode itself it touched on that with the dad wanting them to "act more black". Boundary pushing for sure.

 

And in my sterotypical white ways, the joke about grape soda made me laugh the hardest.

I prefer to actually be friends with black people than watch them on tv.

Can you imagine a show called white-ish about a white person that acts black and his dad wanting him to act more white? No? Then yea there is a double standard here.

Except that the title is a knock on blacks. So any white that thinks it's an unfair title is pretty much an idiot.

ABC is really embracing diversity this pilot season with their comedy's. They have a show airing soon called "fresh off the boat' about an Asian family in America based on the book by Eddie Huang and another show with a latino lead.

I didn't watch the first show this past Wednesday, and still debating if I should watch it at all.  No doubt it's going to be funny with such recognizable actors/actresses, but I don't usually watch shows where a certain group is expected to watch it.  Of course any show that deals with race in particular, will be difficult to pull off satisfactory.

[Jangler]

will watch, but I hope it bombs out because if it's a hit there is a good chance Laurence Fishburne won't be on the season 3 of Hannibal and they might go ahead and kill off Jack Crawford.
