  1. "Do you think minorities complain too much about their portrayals?" What part of *Reality TV* don't they understand?
  2. It's the age old question: Does reality mirror art, or does art mirror reality?
  3. "Do you think minorities complain too much about their portrayals?"

    I don't think so...I think people could show their complaints by not watching the garbage but instead, they support it...if that weren't true, how can you explain "honey boo-boo", Jersey Shores, or the housewives of {insert city name here}?????

    if people, black, white or whatever, weren't watching this stuff, they wouldn't keep the shows on....
  4. I have managed to live a pretty moral and productive life after watching every episode of "The Young Ones" back in the 80's

  5. Do you notice how few TV stations play reruns of the groundbreaking shows like Good Times? Jimmy Walker achieved so much in the day to break through the barriers to see life in the projects in Chicago with positive efforts by the parents.

    Our community does have local free access television reruns of Good Times and the Cosby Show. Several schools do have homework based on content of those shows.

    The national problem of blacks being shown in the light of 11 kids, 10 mothers needs to be addressed community by community. Support public television and use of their programming in our public schools educational requirements. Communities can petition local television to carry more value programs like Good Times and the Cosby show. Local community leaders need to support these efforts.
  6. Clair Huxtable was smokin hot!
  7. I still miss "Amos & Andy". It was obviously removed because it showed Blacks in a bad way. I don't see how it was any different from White shows such as, "The Honeymooners", "All in the Family" and "Married with Children". Just my take.
