TV more segregated today

I love Happy Endings, its goofy as hell - right up my alley Can you believe that it was very close to be cancelled early on - so close that Wayans actually was slated to be on New Girl (which is horrible btw).

Wow. So that's why Damon Wayans Jr was on the first-showing of "New Girl" huh? I was wondering all this time why that happened too. And you’re also right about how goofy and cleverly written "Happy Endings" really is. Can’t believe it even came so close to the proverbial chopping-block.

I just told my older brother about it a few weeks ago and after watching the pilot episode on the web, he immediately went and downloaded both seasons 1 & 2 and watched all of season one that very same evening. lol

Crazy part about that now is he’s become as big a fan of this show as I am if not more.

Love the IR couple in that show. Finally a black guy who is a little quarky and not the former jock or thug. They are so natural togetjer i love their chemistry

haha basically

my main problem with those type of shows, is that they don't offer black actors any roles to contend for. That just shrinks the role pool, you know...as if landing an acting gig was not hard enough as it were.

im watching Battlestar Galactica from start to finish, and so far I can find NO real meaningful, consecutive roles filled by a black actor. Good show by the way. There's one black female who you see like every 4 or 5 episodes..but come on...

lol

I agree. It's a double whammy.

It's sad, cause there are a lot of roles that are faceless in the sense.

So fucked up....:roll:
