Jason Weaver talks about Smart Guys cancellation

[get these nets]

Yeah fox pulled this shyt hell they stole In Living Color from Keenan back in the day.

If you take it back to the old school, the actors of the "blaxploitation" era said the same thing. Black films of the early 1970s saved the movie studios from going out of business. Once they no longer needed the revenue from those movies, they pulled the plug.

People who control the money make the decisions.

 

[Rollo Goodlove]

Goat highschool black sitcom.

 

[AquaCityBoy]

Yvette was going to college at the end of the last season, so unless they went the Boy Meets World/Sister Sister route it wouldn't have been the same.

I forgot this show isn't om syndication.

And black people who demand everything be black top to bottom need to research the Telcom Act.

In short, the ad dollars aren't there for shows with all black people.

A black man should be able to direct Gilmore Girls or write for Dawson's Creek.

Like this "Black Batman."

DC is using that to get in the news then make Batman white in three months again.

Hate it or love it. That's business.

Current crop of all-Black reality shows says different, though.

I don't watch any of them, but they seem to stay on the air for a long time wouldn't you say?

FX exists because of Living Color reruns.
