Cavemen the best show on t.v. !!!!!!! Intelligent comedy can survive on network t.v.?

Question

Another year and another slew of t.v. shows. Once again 40Million plus african americans can expect to be ignored. The big 4 still will not have a black central drama. Romantic love will still be a tacked on after thought to the continuous sack romp by the white co-stars. Blacks will still be buddy or composite characters in ensemble cast. The chappelle show addressed race from a realistic perspective, not the whitestream one that we are constantly indoctrinated in by the news and other media. Ali G, Extras and the borat movie prove that there is a demand for using humor for the most sensitive subjects. Network television has all but ignored it, except for the office(which went from the bbc to cable 1st)....continued.....

Oddly enough it comes from something I usually use for my white peers to counter terms like spear chucker or jungle something, which is knuckle dragger. Cavemen, if it can keep it up could surely mine the suppressed african american reality for all kinds of things that are shouted over on fox news or played down by jewish writers in the newspapers. On yahoo answers and CNN racism is simply willed into existence by lazy black people but on Cavemen there is at least an touch of truth in what black people experience every day. If they don't let the nerds and blogs intimidate the networks as usual and leave a show on simply for the 90% of us who watch t.v. without critiquing every episode online. They could have another chappelle or office on their hands. Whaddya think?

Answer 2

I think the commerial was retarted and I was floored to find out these guys actually landed a TV show. I agree there, that it is ridiculous.


However, I have no clue as to who you are, but I can tell from your words that you, like many african americans have a resentment towards other races, particulaly whites. That's fine, to each it's own. I can't change history.


I feel there is an equal amount of black's & white's in some sort of celebrity entertainment. When black shows come out, whites don't say, "Why isn't that show with mostly whites?" We simply decide whether or not we'll enjoy it and watch it or not. Not for the color cast, or what they have and what I don't.


Do white people have their own TV channel such as BET? Do white's have their own award show, such as blacks do? Aren't there a couple?? Do we have our own legal white group, such as The NAACP? (don't think of the KKK because they aren't even classified as people, they are garbage) Does The United ***** College ring a bell? What about the comedy shows, if a white person is there, they are an immediate target! Blacks crack as much jokes about white people, and vice versa.


I just can't understand why black's such as yourself complain all the time about how " White's get this, and we don't!" " I would have got it if I were white." What about other races that barely get on anything. Or are rarely ever recognized. It's much easier for a minority to get on welfare than white's.


I just wish that people with your ways of thinking, could realize that ignorance is everywhere, but we don't have to join in. I except any race into my life anyday. Take care!

Answer 3

To answer your psuedo question, Cavemen will survive as a TV show if the public responds well to it. On a personal note, I think for someone who is talking about how racism is bad (and it is, don't get me wrong) and how no network ever addresses any 'black' issues, maybe you should re-read your opinion and stop being a hypocrite. Did you mention Jew’s in your rant in a derogatory manner? I think so. Have you attacked white people? What the hell is ‘whitestream’ anyway? I think you need to look at yourself before you start getting all pissed off at society. Do you see me as where my ancestors came from or as a white girl? I don’t walk around saying how I am being made fun of or being ignored because I am French and Hungarian. Why do you get to? The problem is with you. I am American, so are you…if you want to make a difference, get off your *** and do it. Write a show for a black comedy, or drama. Write a show about a black president. Take it to Hollywood and make someone read it. Do not kind sir, sit on your *** and *****. Have you seen K-Ville on Fox? The main character is of African decent. And he is not the only one! Who ever said black people are lazy? Grey’s Anatomy has a very diverse cast-and they are all primary members of the story. So does Private Practice, ER, Entourage, I can go on and on. Get it together! You complain that people in America are not equal…your damn right. But that is not the fault of all the ‘white’ people. Please take some responsibility for your own actions. Think about it with an open mind and get back to me.

Answer 4

I feel degraded by Caveman comedy, it not funny!
big 4 are a main line enertaiment outlet any more check USA, Bet or TBS as an outlet to Black enertainment. color isn't reason they aren't TV1 its because pilots and TV shows are written by White men who don't know them.. look for Blair Underwood in ABC'S Dirty Sexy,Money and Omar Epps in House.
other notables are Isaih Washington? in bionic Woman. black tv like Cosby broke ground and we remember the The jeffersons,good times, and Redd Sanford seires, black leads are in the family as most don't try television they would rather make movies better work for all..
Me i like Don Cheadle Hotel Rowanda stirrin!! and his lates Talk to Me was great!!!!

Answer 5

wha?!, well I have some ethnic desent including African, my mom was white, my dad came from south america and he apears black but I dont understand why your comparing CAVEMAN, a show that probobly not going to last that long to racism. But if it is any consulation, all humans decended from africa in evolution, which raises another question, how did they turn white?

Answer 6

ummmmm wow...quite a lengthy thought you got there.

i never connected cavemen with a way of bringing out racist issues between blacks and whites?

throw out a good tv show that people like...and it will stick around. it's all about ratings, not race...sorry, i just can't agree with you. the media gives people what the want to see/hear.
