Color Adjustment

Watching Color Adjustment was interesting to say the least. The special showed many different stages of blacks on television, a progression that moved behind the times. Its interesting to watch the programs change, always too late to be revolutionary. Color Adjustment actually even says that programs too revolutionary will never be broadcast or will be quickly canceled (Interestingly enough, however out of topic, think of both Family Guy and Futurama, both canceled in their primes). The one thing that concerned me was that if this was true, how can you possibly ever have an accurate representation of a poor black family that will last more then three episodes and won't end with "Dynomite!!!". Television may never be ready for a true representation of any race.
