My Thoughts

Ok so sometime last month it was announced that UPN and the WB channels will be combing to form a new station call CW. This was so confusing to me in so many ways. First when did UPN + WB = CW *confused* Second how is the programming going to be handled. I mean UPN has most of OUR, black folks, shows or as the other folks like to term it, more URBAN programing, while, the WB’s show were more for your white folks. So I guess now we will get show like Gilmore Girlfriends, Everwood hates Chris, or One on One Tree Hill. You get my meaning. Technically we really only had one night on UPN so maybe this move won’t affect us to badly. But just like any merger of two big or in this little companies, there are going to be some cuts. Since the we have until the end of this yea before the merger happens, I’ve decided to take a stab at handing out PINK SLIPS

Here are my recommendations for PINK SLIPS:

All of Us this show really sucked big time. At least Elise Neal was smart enough to leave and not try to hold on like Dwayne Martin and Lisa Raye. I am not sure if that was how Jada and Will did it with Sheree but this show sucked from day one.

Next is a double hitter even more convenient is that they air right behind each other, One on One and Cuts. Really Kyla stick to Penny Proud and movies becuase you punkin Arnaz is not cute. One on One was cool for a while once they toned down Kyla’s smart ass mouth, most black folks wouldn’t tolerate a 13 yearl old kid, at the time, talking the way she did, and once they made Robert Ri’Chard, Arnaz, and look manlier and not so gay, yep he was looking a lil sweet. After these changes the show was actually tolerable. Now that Brianna, Kyla, has graduated which by the way is the typical end to a show with a kid as the star, we are being subjected to the stellar acting skills of the Rich Thug Ray J., need I say more? And Cuts is just stupid nuff said.

Next one is 7th Heaven; since they are ending their eleven year run and all the kids are grown (This one really doesn’t count). Any hey whose family is really like that anyway especially a PK (preacher’s kid)?

Next on the chopping block is Charmed, as much as I’ve loved this show in the past, it really isn’t that good now. There are too many new characters and not enough juicy story lines. I believe the show has run its course. Besides I still miss Prue, Shannon Doherty, and the bad girl dynamic she brought to the show.

Well this is the end of Part one since my meds are kicking in. In Part Two there will be more cuts.
