is a fad or will it make some positive changes in the industry?
i sometime wonder if the powers that be are just throwin us scraps to make us happy.
Iono, i think it's something that could potentially be a real change. Minorities no longer seem to be taking it. Id love to see a surge in shows for everyone. I don't watch either but im glad fresh off the boat and telenovela got a chance
Shows like what
It depends.
In the 90s we had alot of black shows and then they disappeared for a while until Tyler Perry stepped in and now more shows of substance are popping.
But idk if I'd call shows with one black lead a black shows. Since I feel like the content shows with one black lead differs greatly from shows with a black cast.
A fad, sadly. The ratings of all the shows are dropping. I can't see Scandal going much longer. And as much as I like, Empire. I think the ratings will get even worse. I think it'll have the same run as Glee.
After the oscar controversy, i think they'll make a concerted effort not to piss us all off. they'll be a bit more covert, and maybe fire blacks behind the scenes but i think we'll continue to see black actors getting work on primetime n things.
yea

I think we will start seeing more indie content from black filmmakers though like Black & Sexy TV.

Seems like networks are just getting in Formation to me!
:letsmessfag:
All shows are losing ratings tho! Not just the minority shows
It's the spring!
I'm just happy to be able to witness this time in Tv
It feels good to see ppl that I can relate to perched!
I like they are diversifying but we need more
I think it's both. Glad it's happening either way.
I miss those shows like Fresh Prince, Martin and The Wayans Bros
