  2. Nolte: Majority of ‘Most Inclusive TV Shows’ Already Canceled The USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative’s latest list of television’s most inclusive shows reveals that a majority of those shows are no longer on the air or have not been renewed. Gee, I can’t imagine why. “The list compiles data regarding on-screen and behind-the-camera personnel to rank the 100 most inclusive broadcast and cable series from the 2021-22 broadcast season and streaming series from 2021 to 2023,” reports the Messenger. “The list also includes the top 20 producers of the most inclusive shows on TV.” “The research team looked at over 560 series airing on broadcast, cable, and streaming platforms across 15 inclusion indicators.” And guess what those “15 inclusion indicators” are. Yep, more of this nonsense: “The indicators ranked gender, race/ethnicity, LGBTQ+, disability, and age representation for series regular cast.” But. “[A] troubling trend already emerges when looking at the inaugural list: a majority of the most inclusive shows have already ended, been canceled, or are still in renewal limbo.” Queen Sugar (OWN) [Ended in 2023 after seven seasons] The Baby (HBO) [Aired one season in 2022] Naomi (CW) [Canceled after one season] All American: Homecoming (CW) Twenties (BET) Queens (ABC) [Canceled after one season] The Kings of Napa (OWN) 4400 (CW) [Canceled after one season] Sistas (BET) P-Valley (Starz) Of the top ten inclusive cable and broadcast shows, five are no longer on the air. Of the top ten streaming shows, six have been canceled, while two were limited series not expected to return. Raising Dion (Netflix) [Canceled after two seasons] Gentefied (Netflix) [Canceled after two seasons] The Garcias (Max) [Canceled after one season] The Last Days of Ptolemy Gray (AppleTV+) [Limited series, aired in 2022] Reasonable Doubt (Hulu) Now and Then (Apple TV+) Rap Sh!t (Max) With Love (Amazon Prime) [Canceled after two seasons] First Kill (Netflix) [Canceled after one season] Swarm (Amazon Prime) [Limited series, aired in 2023] Here’s the good news: We can only hope. What Hollywood is doing to racial minorities can only be described as a grotesque disservice. Going all the way back to the eighties, mostly every field of entertainment — movies (Eddie Murphy), daytime TV (Oprah Winfrey), primetime TV (Bill Cosby), music (Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, Prince, etc), comedy (Richard Pryor), and sports — were dominated by a flood of black talent the whole country embraced without ever thinking about race. The eighties were my high school years, and no one thought a thing about it when a white teenage girl tacked posters of black superstars to her wall. What made those black celebrities straight-up 80’s superstars was their universal appeal, which gave them careers that lasted decades. What Hollywood is doing to racial minorities is using them as Woke Cannon Fodder. These performers finally have a long overdue opportunity to hit the big time, but the unappealing, divisive, preachy, smug shows and roles they’re hired for kill their careers on the launch pad. Becoming a star requires one thing above all: audience goodwill. Entertainment today refuses to generate career-making goodwill. Instead, everything divides, scolds, lectures, and insults. This turns everyone of every color off, which is why we are buried in shows featuring non-whites, but no Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington, Pam Grier, Will Smith, Sidney Poitier, or 80’s Whoopi Goldberg has emerged. This is why no beloved Good Times, Family Matters, Fresh Prince, Scandal, The Wire, or Roc has emerged. These oh-so-inclusive shows are not being canceled because America’s racist. Besides, no television show or movie needs a single white person to become a hit. There are 47 million black people in this country. If only 15 percent of them watch a show, it will be a hit. Where are all the left-wing Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden voters? If just ten percent of them tuned in, you have a hit show. This survey doesn’t reveal a tolerance problem in America; it reveals a quality problem in left-wing Hollywood. Nolte: Majority of ‘Most Inclusive TV Shows’ Already Canceled (breitbart.com)
  3. Fortunately for Dr. Faux-ci, he as a corrupt government tyrant exercised his authority during an era of ongoing zero accountability.
  4. I think you know this country cannot be restored to glory at the ballot box.
  5. Interesting. This is two months after Hard to Handle Management placed an ad in print media to announce auditions for a (Bonham) singer. I didn't show any public activity for Jason around this time but based upon this it seems he may have done a drum clinic tour. I'll be looking into it further.
  6. This is a patient, well disciplined taper, so we are presented with a variety of great moments throughout most of the concert.
  7. Original, authentic objects appear on reputable online auction sites from time to time. I've seen perhaps a half a dozen offered over the past 40 years. Bear in mind that there are reproductions and even fakes being sold for much less. If you use the search function for this forum you'll find some posts I've made in the past on how to accurately discern the differences between them. All that said, in my opinion, for what it would cost and how long it may take to purchase one you may be better off opting for something else.
  8. There's still today and tomorrow for those who'd like to endorse Michael's nomination. Please express your support directly to Joshua Simonds, President of the Percussive Arts Society Hall of Fame, at jsimonds@pas.org.
  9. Please send your endorsement directly to Joshua Simonds, President of the Percussive Arts Society Hall of Fame, at jsimonds@pas.org.

I also invite all to share your thoughts here as well about Michael Lee.

Sheri explains, "I am pursuing this to give Michael more of the love and recognition he deserves! I want to ensure he is a prominent figure for kids like my grandsons, who love percussion and love Michael Lee. Michael is a good influence and motivating force who really can and should be made more accessible to youth through prominent public recognition".

  10. I'm proud to say I'd be hard pressed to name three films released in the past ten years, and I don't think I could name a single actor or actress under the age of 40. Last night I watched Mississippi Burning, starring Gene Hackman, and it was a stark reminder this country was once capable of producing films that were not a complete insult to viewer's intelligence. It's the great paradox of our time -- all of this marvelous technology now at our disposal and yet the pop cultural landscape is nearly completely devoid of anyone with anything meaningful to present. Not only that, but now all of this AI generated image horseshit is polluting the internet. The people producing it are acting like teenage boys who just discovered masterbation. The world doesn't need 300 images of any celebrity leading a team of reindeer, at least not within 12 hours or less. It's all bullshit.
  11. One more news report on Matthew Perry and I'm jumping out the window. FFS, enough is enough.
  12. What's even more insulting is on rare occasion when a straight white male is included in a commercial they are almost always portrayed as inconsequential, an idiot or a cuckold. This will keep you up at night. In 1970 the population of London was nearly 91% white. In 2023? 39%...and falling.

  14. The commercials are the worst. Every single one has an obligatory black in a starring role.
