Wasting time with Jet

Wow, I might as well just BURN my treatment and my scripts for my TV show right now. UPN 9 and the WB Channel 11 are merging to become one network called "CW". So two networks with a whole lot of shows have to be condensed into one...take a WILD guess which shows are on the chopping block!

In the beginning, the WB was our spark of hope from the "Color Bias Station"(CBS), No Black-shows Channel (NBC), and of course, the "Anti Black Channel" (ABC). True we had some help from FOX, but their standards became so low they even gave a TV show to Chris Elliot (But I kinda did like "Get a Life!").

Hope filled our eyes with shows like "The Parent 'Hood", "The Wayans Brothers" and "The Jamie Foxx Show". But soon, the "Felcity's", "Jack and Jill's", "7th Heaven's" and even the "Zoe, Duncan, Jack and Jane's" came around and the WB became the "White Boys" Network.

Then, came UPN (Which stills stands for U Picka Negro!) and we had SOME sort of hope for black entertainment.

But now with this merger the party's over all once again...the decisions are gonna be so obvious...

Hello "WWE Smackdown"...Good Bye monday lineup of declining but promising black shows (I mean "Girlfriends" is on it's LAST leg!)

Hello "Smallville" and "Supernatural"...Good bye "Eve", "Cuts", and "All of Us".

I see only 3 shows being saved from the ax..."Everyone hates Chris", "Veronica Mars", and "Next Top Model"...everything else on UPN...vios con dios...

Damn, what a shame...what is the world of TV coming to?

Sooner or later, FOX'll probably bow out (American Idol can only do so much...), as well as "CW", I really can't see NBC keeping with with it's weak new offerings and dying classic shows (Shouldn't they cancel "ER" by now?), and it'll be CBS and ABC fighting for viewer's attention. CBS will have all the good reality TV (Survivor, Amazing Race, etc...) and ABC will have decient dramas you can't help but to look at ("Desprate Housewives", "LOST", any other David E. Kelly or Steven Bochco offerings) and black TV shows will go the way of the dinosaur. Settling for Cable, with a limited audience, never getting any self repect till the end of time. Kinda bleak, ain't it?

I really can't see a TV show as unique and diverse as mine on the big 3 and unless another new network tries to step in the arena again...I don't have a chance of being the next David E. Kelly or Dick Wolf.

Come september 2006, it's the end of an era, baby!
