Guest EQ Report post Posted April 23, 2003 I'm sure that those of you who watch UPN have seen the advertisements for this show. 3 episodes in, and I'm really enjoying it. I know we have a lot of 24 fans (and a good number of Smallville fans) on the board, so Platinum kind of has a tough timeslot, but I still manage to catch it. Anyone else watch?

Guest Crucifixio Jones Report post Posted April 23, 2003 I've heard really good reviews from nearly every major outlet and there are some really reputable people involved behind the scenes, but I think you can guarantee that this show is not one for the majority of the TSM demographic. They'll dismiss it as another "black" UPN "rap" show and not bother. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EQ Report post Posted April 23, 2003 I fear you may be right. That's too bad, cause I would have really liked to talk about with the people on the board. Oh well, I'll enjoy it either way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2003 Well new episodes of Smallville have started up again so I might record it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted April 24, 2003 I've actually been interested in seeing the show due to the "political" nature of the music industry, and how it appears to be written in this show. Â ...HOWEVER... Â It's up against 24. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MrRant Report post Posted April 24, 2003 I also think people will be turned off by that. They will see the one token white guy and not tune in and think they won't understand because its a black thing. Â It's unfortunate but that is what you get when you cast most of the characters one race or another. People feel they can't relate and develop any kindof of connection with a character.

Actually, I heard the show is revolved around the white rapper, and the rap industry. Eventhough, I like to know more about the politics of the music industry, but I won't be able to catch this show, I'll be at work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EQ Report post Posted April 24, 2003 Well, the show really revolves around the two black brothers who happen to own the record company. There are a few white characters on the show (including said rapper), but the show does not revolve around any of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheArchiteck Report post Posted April 25, 2003 I've had it on...but didn't really watch it. Looks like it has pretty good production is all I can say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2003 Is it replayed on any other night? Cause right now my VCR has problems. I can record, but I cannot watch one thing and record another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
