It seems as if the only way black hour (or 1/2 hr shows) are allowed on TV is if they contain the negative aspects of black life within them. Some, if not most of those shows are so embarrassing to us as black people, they quickly get yanked because they're not being watched. Unfortunately, that seems to be what the networks try to accomplish. 413 Hope Street was 'raw'. YES, you'd see some of the negativity that life has to offer but it wasn't just about black life, it was about ALL life. Out of the Wayans family, Damon Wayans seems to put out projects that 'hit home' with me. (Besides Blankman :)) Whether it be a comedy or drama, I find his work multi-dimensional. Hopefully, he'll come out with something new on the silver screen. If he's in need of a drama, I have the perfect script for him.

This show was one of the rare hour-long television dramas that I could really sink my teeth into, and it barely survived a full season. A few years later, and it's like no one even remembers it. I've heard critics scold it for being over-dramatic, but I have never been so riveted by a storyline and performances on network TV.From Richard Roundtree and his wife confronting the young man who killed their son, to the young man who was dying from AIDS. Jesse Martin and his dealings with AIDS. The show was full of tragedy, and you definitely didn't watch it to cheer you up, but the issues were so relevant. I think it was an injustice to pull it from the air so quickly.
