She told BlackAmericaWeb.com she was puzzled that “Everybody Hates Chris,” which she says was “successful and heavily promoted last year” is coming on at 7 p.m. on Sunday this season -- “not prime time.”
“It’s the same old game: Negro Night, ghettoizing shows. It’s as if they are being lumped together as an afterthought. Sunday night is a good TV night, but it’s bizarre they are all on the same night. It’s like they are just getting it over with. It’s strange.”

A generation ago, NBC had to cancel The Nat King Cole Show because sponsors would not pay for blacks on TV

Whites, for one thing, are seen in the widest possible variety of shows on TV—dramatic programs, adventures, news specials, sitcoms and so on. (The quality of comedies about whites is occasionally better too: witness The Mary Tyler Moore Show.) Blacks, on the other hand, inhabit a restricted range of TV formats; apart from their roles as local newspersons and a peppering of parts on integrated shows (a smart detective on Police Woman, for example), they are mostly seen in situation comedies. from: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,916047-2,00.html

also from that ^
The ultimate meaning of color resides in the nation's mind in the images that whites and blacks have of one another, and that blacks have of themselves. The young, black and white, absorb too much of their social "reality" from television. The people who create TV's fantasies are, God help us, molding minds.
That is why they should be more careful.

most black shows on the cw on sunday!


i realize its hard to do specifically black shows, asian shows, pakistani shows etc in american because the people of that culture feel as if they are being represented oftentimes eithr way; being portrayed as out of place and struggling thourhg life in amercas culture, or being of middle to upper class in america, becuase many realy people of those ethnicities cannot relate.
always in the projects;if not, may be offended

The only network tv show (that I remember) that had an Asian family was this sitcom on ABC called "All-American Girl" starring Margaret Cho, that aired around '95. It stayed on for about maybe four episodes before it was cancelled.
