Lee and Low Books put together this article and infographic regarding diversity at the Emmy’s. There were few nominations and even fewer people of color who actually won in their category. I love that Kerry Washington was nominated, but there was little hope in my mind that she would win the award (even if Breaking […]

This Is What Black People Watch And Don’t Watch On Premium Cable Wow all sorts of great articles about black TV viewership and creation today! This one is about black premium cable audiences. It seems that black people have higher percentages on black shows (new Starz series Power, The Wire and the short-lived No 1 […]
Who are the people who vote for Emmy awards? Because who in their right mind sees Tatiana Maslany pull of five different roles and not give her an award for it? Seems to me the Emmy voter committee might need a diversity upgrade, like every other prestigious institution.
‘Community’ to Return for Season 6 on Yahoo Screen – TheWrap It’s amazing how a joke from season 2 has determined the fate of Community. If Abed hadn’t spoken those fateful words, would we be here now? Or would there be another rallying cry that would get us to… Yahoo. I tweeted yesterday that there […]
Fox Pulls Plug on ‘Hieroglyph’ – Hollywood Reporter Oh no! FOX cancels Hieroglyph before it’s fall debut! I was looking forward to checking this out, due to the diverse casting (though had qualms about it after learning the true lead was another white male), but looks like I won’t be checking it out after all. […]
A writers’ room of N.Y.’s own – Times Union Check out this brief article on the lack of NYC writers’ rooms, despite more shows being shot here. I definitely wish there were more opportunities for tv writers in NYC, as that’s where I live. Hopefully we can get more here. Until I can write and […]
Emmys: ‘Orange Is the New Black’s’ Uzo Aduba Makes a Plea to Voters Guest Column – The Hollywood Reporter. I’ve been neglecting this blog (and other writing) recently (life is getting super busy and I haven’t quite adjusted yet), but Emmy season is fast approaching and I hope to have more time to discuss shows as […]
Welcome Larry Wilmore to the Late Night bunch! I’ll definitely be watching his show, The Minority Report–a cliched but perfect title for both what it is and before what’s it’s replacing.With Larry Wilmore’s role as “Senior Black Correspondent” on the Daily Show, we already have an idea of what the show will entail, but it also means (hopefully) more black late night writers and more discussions of black issues that the Daily Show doesn’t cover.
The show makes me both excited and nervous. I’m excited to see a black family on television. I’m even more excited to see a black family in a network single camera sitcom. But oh boy am I nervous. The title alone is a little worrisome–black-ish implies that through their middle class lifestyle, they’re not fully black, only a little black or sort of black.
