And now...
Hollywood may have learned that you can't have a hit just because you've given a BLACK person the starring role. True, black viewership is up when it comes to the free TV channels, but they aren't gonna watch EVERYTHING that has a black lead. Especially not when the lead is just sittin' on a chair like it's the dock o' the bay.
Don't expect whites to believe a black guy can solve crimes with his wits and not his fists. Besides, the whites are watching the expensive cable stations, or defiantly dialing up PBS and watching those shitty British "culture" and "masterpiece" shows like Downton Abbey, and/or the 90th variation on Sherlock Holmes with some sickly gay guy taking the lead.
The only way this fuck-up show could've worked is if it was a black woman in the lead, and in the second episode she was miraculously cured...so she could stand up and twerk...erasing the criminals with her giant rubbery boot-ayyyy.
