Black and White

TheOhioStateUniversity · 03-08-2006, 10:18 PM

Anyone watching this on FX...?

oliegirl · 03-08-2006, 10:20 PM

Damnit - I wanted to watch that! Are they going to be replaying it during the week?

TheOhioStateUniversity · 03-08-2006, 10:21 PM

Not sure, probably so

Franklinnoble · 03-08-2006, 10:21 PM

No, I've got a color TV. Thanks.

What? Are they showing that movie that has Mike Tyson in it? And if they are, why is it news now? Isn't that movie at least 5 years old? Or is this a different "Black and White"?

The basic premise is a white family is made up to be black and a black family is made up to white. They live together for the duration of the show and talk about their experiences.

I know there's a good Maximum Football screenshot around here for this thread...

Recording it. Watching it tommorrow.

Karlifornia · 03-08-2006, 10:39 PM

I want to check this out, but I'll probably have to catch a replay of it...

Does anyone else think Bruno is a complete idiot? I won't spoil it for anyone, but I'm interested to hear what others are thinking about him.....

TheOhioStateUniversity · 03-09-2006, 08:27 AM

He seemed to use the N word every chance he could get and although the black father on the show may be a little over the top Bruno definately exceeds that in the opposite way. It's like he is making fun of black people while doing the show and that makes it seem like minstrel.

Ramzavail · 03-09-2006, 09:39 AM

Bruno IS a complete moron

rkmsuf · 03-09-2006, 09:42 AM

they need more commercials for this show

BYU 14 · 03-09-2006, 10:00 AM

Bruno is a complete Moron, the way he acted, especially with the N word, was embarrassing to me. Also, his Wife is amazingly naive.(my polite way of saying complete ditz)

Mr Sparks also seems a bit prone to hyperbole.....My wife and I were both shaking our heads over the whole Shoe store thing........Congratulations on being the first Black Man to ever have a shoe horn used on you.

To be honest the only ones who seem to be completely open and "get it" are the Kids (Nick and Rose) of both Families. I think they reflect the growth in this area of Kids today in general. Young people now are exposed to so much more diversity in all aspects of life and have a better awareness of race issues, which is a very good thing.

Ditto. I hate night classes...

amdaily · 03-09-2006, 12:19 PM

Wouldn't watch it if I had to.

Besides, with the amount of commercials it recieved during The Shield this season, I feel like I already watched it.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed Bruno's idiotic behavior. I couldn't believe the number of times he used the N-word. What a freaking prick. And this is coming from someone who lives in LA, one of the most diverse cities in the US. And when he was on the all-black panel could he have made more of an ass out of himself? Come on.

Antmeister · 03-09-2006, 08:32 PM

Just watched the show. Bruno was the most difficult person to watch, with the other father a somewhat close second. And I agree with BYU 14, the kids are the ones who seem to get it. Both of them approached it by being themselves and not trying to "act" the way they perceive what another race is supposed to be.

Anyone who would agree to be on a show like this has to have a certain percentage of moron in their background.
