]]> Comment on WEHT: Dramatic African American TV series? by Lori http://stylesfree.wordpress.com/2007/06/18/weht-dramatic-african-american-tv-series/#comment-7 Lori Sat, 07 Jul 2007 12:44:00 +0000 http://stylesfree.wordpress.com/2007/06/18/weht-dramatic-african-american-tv-series/#comment-7 Interesting. I didn't even know "Lincoln Heights" was still on. I barely made it through the first episode. Seemed like more of the "same ole, same ole" to me. I'm not sure BET has an interest in anything beyond music, sports and buffonery (College Hill and the like). BETJ does a little better. At least they feature BETJ Shorts--a format for Black independent filmmakers and their movies. I'm not sure if we'll ever see another series like "Soul Food." (the only reason I ever subscribed to Show Time) If so, it will surely be on cable. From the looks of things, the average viewer isn't terribly interested in the lives of middle-class Black folks. I guess unless we're making folks laugh, singing/rapping & dancing or carrying, throwing or hitting a ball our experiences lack that "universal" quality . . . yeah, right (LOL). Interesting.

]]> Comment on Nobody Wins With Isaiah Washington Gone by Lori http://stylesfree.wordpress.com/2007/07/03/nobody-wins-with-isaiah-washington-gone/#comment-6 Lori Sat, 07 Jul 2007 04:12:50 +0000 http://stylesfree.wordpress.com/2007/07/03/nobody-wins-with-isaiah-washington-gone/#comment-6 After having watched his interview on Larry King Live, I can't help but feel sorry for Mr. Washington . . . even though, I'm still not sure why. His use of the f-word was both ignorant and uncalled for. Why even bring up T.R. Knight or his sexuality in an argument that had nothing to do with him? Puzzling. I do wonder if Mr. Washington has impulse control issues. I do hate to see him go though. His character (Dr. Preston Burke) is what drew me into the series in the first place. I doubt if I'll watch when the new season of Grey starts. Not only because of Washington's departure and the way it was handled, but other issues involving the way the other African American characters on the show are portrayed. I am particularly disappointed in the show's strict avoidance of any real issues having to do with race, ethnicity or sexuality . . . which is rather ironic in light of all recent behind the scene happenings (smile).
