"And just like that," bLACKS invade the sex and the city re-boot
GRA: Twenty five years ago, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrell, Kristin Davis and lesbo Cynthia Nixon were in the middle of their famous cable series, sex and the city. At the time, cable was cheap and I watched hbo for a while, of which one of the shows was Sex..."
The only reason I did watch, I'll honestly admit, was to drool over Kristin Davis and SJP's bod. I don't remember any particular episode, like I do with All in the Family, or even The Twilight Zone. It wasn't about that. I probably didn't even have the sound on (a joke, I think).
The show ended 21 years ago. There was a movie, but as with all things today on tv--where new ideas are either approved, and not funny/interesting or rejected--it comes down to rebooting old shows--which happened to Sex... in 2023. They called it, and just like that.
"Today, on the (witches') view, the cast came out to promote a new season of "three 60+ year old women AND two new minority characters," 'living their lives,' and to tell the audience why they should watch such an abysmal scenario." (My description.)
(GRA: What possible situations that female sexagenerians get into, on this show, would be interesting? Bingo night at the casino? Hormone therapy appointments?)
When "Poopie" Goldberg introduced the cast, I made a quick bet with myself, "there HAS to be at least one minority in the reboot"--and there were two: A mex and a black.
I quickly looked up the background of the reboot, asking,"why are there minorities in the new sex and the city?"
The answer I got was, "Back in the day, the show was deemed by critics to be 'too White' and now the show better reflects new york city in 2025, though to mixed reviews."
So according to certain groups, Whites cannot have stories written about themselves exclusively anymore, there MUST BE bLACKS in their scripted lives, even though in real life, I rarely see Whites and blacks "hanging out" together--except for the occasional obese white female and black user of obese white females. No matter how it's done on TV or movies, just plopping blacks with Whites, as if they were Whitey's shadow is a ridiculous premise.
And the critics STILL aren't satisfied. "the minority characters have never developed and are just supporting roles to the White characters."
A-holes.
There SHOULDN'T be ANY minority characters--the story was about Whites--period--and it should have been left at that.

But blacks get their 1/3 to 1/2 (and growing) representation in White entertainment AND their exclusive or near exclusive channels and programs. Talk about having your cake and eating it too.
This And Just Like That / Sex in the City cast looks blankety-blanco. Only an india-indian and an oriental as far as I can tell from the photos here at radiotimes with its rainbowized logo.
And 60-year-olds, oh no, it's the second coming of Bea Arthur and The Olden Gals. The four horsefaces of the apocalypse.
Bottom Line - This wasn't as double-take-inducing as Monday's DEI-nnis the Menace panel where pasty-white Margaret introduces her megamelanized cousin-once-removed. The kid's shorter than her but he's got Obama ears.
My question is:Who's ALLOWING(pushing)this crap to take place? No one,it appears,wants to stop blackie run tv.

They trotted out Nicole Ari Parker as the new blackie.

"SPACEBALLS 2"--WITH MEL BROOKS ACTING AGAIN--WILL START FILMING,WITH A RELEASE DATE IN 2027;NO TALENT nEGRESS ADDED TO THE CAST
(deadline)EXCLUSIVE: Bill Pullman and Rick Moranis are set to reprise their respective roles as Lone Starr and Dark Helmet in the new Spaceballs movie from Amazon MGM Studios, with Keke Palmer (One of Them Days) joining the cast, sources tell Deadline.
Amazon declined to comment, and character details for Palmer are under wraps, as is the sequel’s plot. The addition of Moranis is particularly striking, as the actor hasn’t been seen much on screen for decades. As announced this morning, the original film’s director and star, Mel Brooks, will also feature in the cast once again, reprising his role as Yogurt. Slated for release in theaters in 2027, the film has been described by those who have not yet read the script as “A Non-Prequel Non-Reboot Sequel Part Two but with Reboot Elements Franchise Expansion Film.”
GRA:Having only watched small snippets of the movie many years ago(I didn't laugh much from what I saw),I can't say I'm looking forward to it,but Brooks as "Yogurt"--at age 97--is an eye catcher.
GRA:Mel,how did you come up with the name,"Yogurt"?
Mel:Why is my name Yogurt? It's the only food I found I can eat where I don't get gas--MUCH.(Pfffft) Plus,it's a lame take off on "Yoda". Look,I had already used up all my comedy ideas the previous 20 years,so "Yogurt" was all I had left. YOGURT! Still nuthin'? Oh well.(Pfffft.)

Actually,Mel Brooks is 98,with a birthday coming up in days(June 28th).Incredible DNA.

(negress)Keke Palmer is the obnoxious host of "Password". Maybe instead of a name like Uhura(from "Star Trek"),her name in "Spaceballs 2" could be Whoyoua?
As in,"all you blackies on these spaceships look alike--Whoyoua?"
"DATS my NAME!"
