What's Going On With Black Shows on THE CW???




Has anyone else noticed that the CW is not airing new episodes of “The Game?” They only have two “black” shows on the network (The Game and Everybody Hates Chris…three if you count America’s Next Top Model) and they do not advertise for either show during the week. Mind you, I get bombarded by images of teenaged, privileged white girls in commercials advertising 90210 and Gossip Girl. Therefore, I have decided to do something about it. If you all feel as strongly as I do about seeing positive images of people of color on primetime television please send a letter to the CW expressing your concerns. Click here to send an email.

TV BITS: MSNBC'S "A FATHER'S PROMISE"


Check out the preview of “A FATHER’S PROMISE“, a thought-provoking documentary which attempts to understand an issue close to President Barack Obama: the subject of absent fathers in the black community.

It includes a cross-section of African-Americans, including NBC’s Al Roker and Tiki Barber, who come together for a round-table discussion of these situations and issues. “A Father’s Promise” aired Sunday night on MSNBC.
