[QUOTE]Originally posted by DarlingBri: [QB] I think I'm the person they invented women's TV for, which is one of the many reasons I do not own a TV. Home decorating, cheesey "our family was torn apart" TV-movies, pregnancy shows, celebrity profiles, re-runs of ER... Yeah, baby. Bring it on. Pass the remote and shove over on the couch. I think it's about what the majority of the intended audience can relate to. While enjoy going to soccer matches, for example, to me it's about The Stadium Experience. Watching it on telly is not interesting to me because I'm not there. COPS? Eh. I think the domestic violence call outs are more interesting than, say, the car chases -- I am intrested to see how the DV calls are dealt with, but in the car chase, there are really only two scenarios: get arrested, or die in a firey inferno. In short, I wouldn't want to share a TV with BruinDan, because the power struggle for the remote would be epic [IMG]http://www.scarleteen.com/forum/smile.gif[/IMG] And I very much feel that programming like BET and PrideTV is important, especially right now. Minorities of all kninds have been grossly underrepresented on mainstream TV for a long long time; it's efforts like BET and PrideTV that normalise minorities and push them into mainstream conciousness, and by extension, mainstream programming. Remember that its only recently that anyone on Prime Time has been gay in any kind of developed role, or that there have been Black families that were not just Huxtable Barbies. [/QB][/QUOTE]
