Well, EMusic finally fixed their little link-to-item problem. Meaning that if, for some odd reason, I felt really enthusiastic about:
Piece And Love by Meg Lee Chin (Invisible Records)
I could link directly to it, rather than using one of the generic banners. Not at cure-for-cancer levels in the grand scheme of things, but I like Meg. And am still on her mailing list, now that I think about it. Boy, they've been quiet for a while. . .
Oh, and this really deserves an in-depth, critical analysis. But I'm me. So forget that.
Prime Time in Black and White is a five-year, longitudinal study of 1) the on-screen presence of black Americans in prime-time network television and 2) of issues pertaining to behind-the-scenes control.[lots of worthwhile information ignored so I can go for the cheap joke]
Table 1: Top 5 and bottom 5 shows in terms of the
percentage of characters that were blackTop:
1. Girlfriends (UPN) [sitcom] 89%
2. One On One (UPN) [sitcom] 88%
3. My Wife and Kids (ABC) [sitcom] 83%
4. The Parkers (UPN) [sitcom] 79%
5. Early Edition (CBS)* [drama] 76%
Bottom:
1. Just Shoot Me (NBC) [sitcom] 0%
2. Dharma and Greg (ABC) [sitcom] 0%
3. Three Sisters (NBC) [sitcom] 0%
4. Dawson's Creek (WB) [drama] 0%
5. Sabrina (WB) [sitcom] 0%
And I kind'a liked Jenna Elfman, too. Not enough to watch the show regularly, mind you. And I thought Sabrina had a Black Friend? Or is that just the cartoon?
Yes, there's a piece about this in Bitch. Shut up. I cannot escape my destiny.
You really do need to get commission from Bitch. I'm sure yr driving up sales.
Dru, I'm more worried about them charging me for ripping off material. Or at least subject matter.
Which wouldn't happen nearly as often if they had a stronger web presence, he lied. Then I'd just link them more often.
I watch Girlfriends, One on One, Half & Half, and My Wife and Kids.
When will we stop seeing re-runs! Are any new shows being filmed? It's the same ones all the time! I'm sorry but the story line on My Wife and Kids, with the son getting his girfriend pregnant is just terrible, And please someone hook William up. I try to watch - but the story lines are not even good and as I said "nothing new on"
Sincerely, Sharon Holmes
