The United States Of Al and B-Positive.
Both of these shows were amongst my favorites. What's wrong with the judgement of CBS?

(167 posts)I thought B Positive was silly and manufactured emotions
The US of Al really was a hot mess. It was a McDonald's attempt at showing cultural traditions.
Just my opinion, since you asked.🌾
I'm not a big fan of network TV comedy series. They seem simplistic and repetitive laugh skits. I guess it's for mass audiences.

Contemporary TV comedy is unfunny, IMO. We used to stop by my wife's parent's place and they'd sometimes be watching Big Bang Theory with the volume up because they enjoyed it. I just wanted out of the room, badly!!
To be amused by television comedy, I have to find reruns of All in the Family or MASH.

(106,340 posts)the intense formulaic take-over of the networks' airwaves. If it isn't a medical and a police/crime and a fire drama set in Chicago, then it is a court, police/crime, and more police/crime drama by the same creator in NYC. Just to mention one constantly repeated genre. And don't get me started on "reality tv" (which to me is just poorly scripted soap opera with far more disgusting characters.
True Blue American
(18,161 posts)2 BET shows yesterday about a family trying to deal with the young father of 2 with the aftermath of being shot, anger, frustrations and 2 generations trying to cope. Most honest show I have seen in a long time.
Now, I hear CNN is taking Brianna and John Berman off, replacing them with Don Lemon, lowest rated show on night time. Do not know where they are going.

. silly
crude
dumbed down.
But give Abbott Elementary a try sometime. Its very different. If you are a teacher or know any teachers you will like it. No laugh track either.
