I dont see where you get that from. I listened to the first 5 minutes so far and dont see anything wrong with what he said thus far. Dude just said the standards on the Cosby show were far higher than that of Malcolm and Eddie. Cosby went out of his way to portray positive images of black americans while Malcolm and Eddie was mote stereo typical shyts

He literally said that everything UPN had was the antithesis of what he had done with The Cosby Show. That's why he had problems trying to elevate Malcolm & Eddie because the network/producers didn't hire him to do a Cosby-esque show.

I want to say his complaints are valid because he came from a place with much higher standards. Alfonso Ribeiro had similar issues when he was working on In the House. But he's saying that EVERY show on UPN was no different from Malcolm & Eddie, which is wrong because Moesha aimed for higher standards than the rest.

it is insulting in this day and age for someone like mjw to think some watered down comedy can mentally undo what european biases has done to us. beore the advent of tv, the biggest entity that gave black men some pride was print media. ebony and jet magazine for most of us who can read was eye opener.

Damn, I wonder why he felt his show was c00ning because that show was good.

Also can't believe him and Eddie weren't really close. They had some funny chemistry on screen and the woman who played Nicolette was funny too.
