Scrubs on ABC |”What’s New on TV in January”

UBO Editor — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 12:38:11 +0000

I don’t watch that much television. Much of what comes on doesn’t excite me at all; but one show that stole my heart is “Scrubs”. I discovered it on one of the many televisions stations that has it running in syndication about two seasons ago. This lead to me recording every episode from its last two seasons and then I heard at the end of last season that it’s future was uncertain. I was quite distraught to learn that the show that I had just discovered may be over and done with. But now it’s back and on ABC. I don’t really know why NBC saw fit to give it the boot but who cares it’s their loss. I love the humor, the diverse cast and the easy way it can turn on a dime, become serious and cause you to think.

So if you haven’t watched an episode of “Scrubs” or lost interest when the last season ended, you can catch season 8 starting on ABC tonight @ 9:00 and 9:30.

Check out a little Q&A about the new season of “Scrubs”…..

Black In America | “The Black Woman & Family”

UBO Editor — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 21:30:44 +0000

I am so glad that this is being done in a time that doesn’t coincide with Black History Month like most reflections of the state of Black America. CNN has produced a ground breaking documentary showing the progression of blacks in America since the assasination of Martin Luther King Jr. The documentary is called “Black in America” and tomorrow it continues with an exploration of Black Women & the Black Family. Soledad O’Brien will explore the hurdles encountered by black women and their families like single parenthood, HIV/AIDS, the strides we have made in the workplace and our acsent to the middle class.

It’s about time we get past the talking heads, perception shapers and hear about the Black American experience straight from our mouths with all it’s diversity. Check out Black In America: Black Women & Families Wednesday, July 23 at 9 p.m. eastern standard time.

I’ll be watching, will you?
