Have I ever mentioned that television has become pure bs? Yeah...I am sure I have. It is truly disgusting and a reflection of a generation that can easily be entertained by others foolishness. I mean you can get famous today by simply releasing a sex tape (which by the way can be performed better by a freakin virigin...they aren't even that good...not that I have seen many). To make the water inside me boil even more, they come out with Detroit 187, a show where they will show you the streets of Detroit and detectives working hours to solve the many crimes that occur in Detroit everyday.
Do we really need another freakin detective/cop television show that highlights the bad things that people do everyday? Yes I get it, let's give light to all of the negativity of the world, and then wonder why in fact our kids are as messed up as they are, or have confused looks on our faces when we discover that the crime rate has increased even more.
No, it would just be too darn hard to develop something as creative as the Cosby Show or A Different World. I agree that Friends just might be too hard to duplicate and never mind ever creating anything that came on before those shows. (I hope that you hear my sarcasm, because I will scream if you think I agree that our generation lacks the creativity to create shows that can become classics)
But despite the fact that I am confident quality positive shows can indeed be produced, what makes me more mad is the constant negativity displayed about Detroit itself. This show is complete garbage, and one more thing to highlight all of the negative aspects of Detroit. Let's just sit back and talk about one of the "worse" cities in Detroit, make a show so we can further dwell on the fact, and never do a damn thing about it. Let's give all our money away to other countries that are struggling, and forget about what goes on in our own backyards. Oh I forgot, that is the American way.
People will probably tune in, but please spare me the details and the questions just because I am from there. Please do not ask me do I know about a certain area or have I experienced a certain thing. It will come off as dumb as "do you live on 8 mile?", as if everyone in Detroit is from one damn block.
If I myself knew how to write and produce a television show, it would finally show all the ignorant people across the country the tons of influential blacks living in Atlanta, Detroit, Chicago, and other places, just to give you a little insight into a world that you rarely see, or probably assume doesn't exist. It will look nothing like the Real Housewives of Atlanta, College Hill, or Baldwin Hills. You will be amazed and I might just win a freakin Emmy.
I'm over wondering when television will go back to normal. Such a sad society where we hate ourselves so much that seeing others horrible lives makes us feel a slight bit entertained. One day we will all wake up, but until then, did anyone see Real Housewives of New York reunion yesterday? lol

Meal Ticket” will comment on modern day American politics, American pop culture, the many forms of addiction, the many forms of human relationships and, of course, the idea of “living the American Dream.” “Meal Ticket’s” content will be relevant, provocative and ground breaking to American television. "Meal Ticket" is to the new decade as what "Do the Right Thing", "A Different World" and "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" was to the early 1990's Black entertainment.
I am so glad that someone else expressed their disgust with this "Detroit 187 Show". I have heard so many people from Detroit acting like it is the best thing in the world. I agree, why can't they make a positive show about Detroit.
@Brett: Can't wait to check it out!
@Larenda: right!!!!! If they could only see the Detroit that I grew up in. The experiences that I had...smh
