If You Could create a black TV show what would it be?

[levitate]

A show set 2000 years into the future.

A series of events has made most of Earth's surface inhabitable. Toxic gas and undrinkable water all throughout.

To survive, humans have moved inside of skyscrapers and sealed them off from the outside.

This show explores life within one such skyscraper, located in present day Chicago. The skyscraper, nicknamed The Coli, is running low on supplies, morale, and hope.

Josephren, a Black from the bowels of the skyscraper, has worked his way up the political chain, and is the newly elected leader of The Coli.

Will Josephren lead The Coli away from the edge of collapse, and toward a brighter future? Will the inhabitants of The Coli ever see the outside world? Join us next Sunday for the series premier of...

The Coli

Starring @Kant, @JahFocus CS, @Sagat and special guest appearances by @JudgeJoeGorilla and @wickedsm

I'm actually creating a blog that's a open source for tv and book ideas with black characters

I'd probably do something along the lines of Anthony Bourdain, or Andrew Zimmern, Travel Channel like. For whatever reason I'd prefer a Black UK personality to be the host, and have him explore food and culture throughout various Black communities throughout the States. Could even branch out and explore communities in the UK, or South America, West Indies, etc.. If not a Black UK personality, Cam'ron or Joe Budden would be on the short and immediate list.

That would be good.

I'd do a travel series, kind of like an off-the-road adventuring to find random stuff aka what I do in my everyday serendipitous/ADHD-lite maneuvering and marauding, I always meet random ass people.

 

[Shadow King]

A show about a black politican in Baltimore or Philly who just won election. He/She's struggling to meet the needs of his/her constituents while fending off the predatory local Democratic machines and DNC vampires.

Get to writing breh this is necessary

 

[How Sway?]

A cartoon based on an african kingdom (most likely egypt or Mali) but some bad ass superhero type shyt

Or a sitcom based on hbcu life . Like an Updated version of A Different World

I could see this show being on SHOWTIME or HBO, basically a paid program that’s rated MA for swearing, nudity, explicit sexual content and some violence.
It’s a comedy drama and thriller that has pretty much everything, swirling to grab a white audience, issues within the community that mirror today’s social climate, rich people, poor people, corruption and sex.

BEDS

Jacqueline Bedi (pronounced as Betty) is a 32 year old CEO of the 5-Star Hotel Jaq. Beddington. Considered one of the most successful African American women of her time, Jacqueline also aligns herself with black civil rights activists, ironically considered to be a faux pro-black amongst her ethnic peers as she is married to a white man who has been missing in action during Jacqueline’s most crucial time in need. Caught up in never-ending political disputes while she funds certain private parties and gets invited to controversial charities, Jacqueline finds herself unstoppable as she secures her placement and access as a powerful being within her city.
What makes Jackie so notorious, however, isn’t necessarily her outward charms and booming businesses displayed in the media and press. Underneath the clean façade of Jaq. Beddington lies a hidden sultry secret best kept amongst some of the most affluent individuals in the nation.


Jacqueline juggles between being the step-mother of a white child, a social rights activists that conflicts with her marriage status, an author, and a Madame. Having grown up with a pimp for a father, Jackie became accustomed to marketing and maintaining prostitutes, escorts and sugar babies. Obviously this part of her life is a secret she’s kept as no one really knows about her past life once she had her surname changed to Bedi. Jackie finds herself having to deflect some of the media trying their damnest to peer into that part of her life and sometimes Jackie has to get rid of them indefinitely.


Jackie has long since realized her marriage to a white man was a mistake. It was an act of ambition as her husband was a pawn to her gaining success. Jackie is in fact in love with one of the key individuals of the black social rights movement she helps funds and promote in the media. Black activists do not care for her or her hypocrisy, but they take her money and make her keep her distance.


That is the gist of it, the show will focus on how Jackie handles her problematic life as she gets closer and closer to being caught up in her own bullshyt. Throughout the first season Jackie’s husband is never seen, Jackie, for the most part, thinks he’s taking a vacation to get away from the stress of her life and media, and she resents him for that but doesn’t necessarily miss him. The last episode will reveal that his body has been found in the pond on their property and he’s supposedly been dead the entire season, murdered, and the main suspect is Jackie.

@levitate what do you think?

@levitate what do you think?

I could see the Scandal crowd getting into this.

 

[ReturnOfJudah]

A show base off history when us Israelites ruled the world and we were keeping God's laws. I would call it "the kingdom of heaven"

A young black woman is murdered in her own neighborhood. An investigator/detective is on the case, putting clues together, asking neighbors and classmates questions about the girl to figure out who could have possibly killed her. His investigation is going nowhere fast until he begins to understand that her death had a supernatural aspect to it. Or at least that's what it seems like. He(or she) doesn't want to believe that because his job relies on logic and facts so he ignores most of the supernatural signs and warnings. That is until he starts having weird dreams and blackouts that transport him back to a time when the girl was still alive. Could she possibly be trying to help the investigator/detective solve her own murder?

The series would be full of twists and turns, be mostly grounded except when it's not. A mix of Columbo, Twin Peaks and the investigative portions of The Wire. Think of it like if you followed Bunk, Mcnulty or Lester into a different city where strange things are happening and they're trying their best to hold it all together.

I'm also interested in an all black noir show, space drama or a general mix of something science fiction, horror and/or mystery. A cartoon version of these would be cool too.

I'm actually very busy writing my book of a different subject matter (sci-fi) but if no one has stolen the idea of Beds by next year then you bet!
