Is a black Seinfeld show possible? A show about nothing?

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

I think the closest we've ever had to this was Atlanta, but since most of us ain't living the life of rapper/manager, a lot of scenarios weren't things that the average black man and woman would encounter in our lives.

So that makes me wonder... Could a show that just explores the various things that we encounter in our lives succeed?

Atlanta is definitely the closest

The Barbershop episode...club episode...and a few others definitely feel Seinfeld like

Redefine what nothing is, then yes. That’s what they did.

There cant be another Seinfeld, american culture is too niche nowadays

Gays want a show for gays

zoomers want a show for zoomers

etc

90s was different. Basic cable had about 10 sitcoms to choose from

Still haven't gotten into this. I put on the first ep last year, and the shaky camera kinda threw me off. I turned it off and never went back

We’ve seen it with The Wayans Bros. and Martin, imo. Seinfeld as a concept isn’t much different from those shows. It can work but you need someone to carry it.

Truth be told, Kenya Barris could pull it off. #BlackAF was in that lane and it wasn’t his typical corny writing.

His show ended in 2017.


Show me what he’s done since…

It can be done. Just 4 core friends that kick it and get into strange/wild situations. Base it in Buckhead or Brooklyn. I like Brooklyn better because NYC and you have all the ethnicities to use as material.

It’s a cheap show. Have a few reoccurring side characters as well.

I like the idea. Instead of basing the main character as a comedian, have him as a E-list actor kinda like Johnnie Drama.

Just don’t pitch it to Terry Perry.

He’s not from Harlem. You can only imagine the shyt he would come up with.
