The Worst Show On Television

Last night I watched an episode of "Under One Roof" featuring the old rapper Flavor Flav.  The only reason I watched the show was because Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens made an appearance on the show.  However, I knew there was a problem when Owens was the best actor on the program and the jokes were not funny.

This show goes to great lengths to reinforce racial stereotypes that minority groups have worked years to remove from the Hollywood culture.

"The new comedy's characters include a sex-crazed black man, a drunken Latino gardener and a grumpy Asian housekeeper who speaks in heavily accented broken English. "It is difficult to do much except watch, wide-eyed with disbelief," writes Times television critic Mary McNamara, who was able to see an episode despite the network's withholding of screeners, "as terrible jokes are made at the expense of just about every racial and socioeconomic group in America."

"Under One Roof" is a very bad version of "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" with weak actors who are not funny.  These actors should not be allowed to act on anything but pizza commercials.  I wish I could have been in the meeting when the creators of the show were pitching it to network executives.  Where is the network executive who thought a show with Flavor Flav in the starring role would be funny?  Flavor Flav is a walking minstrel show who does not care how he is projected on television as long as he's getting paid for his dismal efforts.

Even though this show is still on the air, I take great comfort in the fact that it will soon be canceled because no one is watching it.  If you have not had the misfortune of viewing the show then you are in luck.  Click on the video below and judge for yourself.  Warning - you will not laugh.
