The series had a promising start as a midseason entry in March in the Wednesday 9:30 p.m. slot behind "The Bernie Mac Show." But it hit a ratings wall after a moving to 8 p.m. Fridays this fall. In its last airing on Nov. 7, "Wanda" averaged a mere 3.8 million viewers. Fox canceled "Wanda's" 8:30 p.m. companion, freshman sitcom "Luis" in October. The network has filled its holes on Friday in recent weeks with movies and specials. Fox declined comment Thursday. Good. I really couldn't stand that woman and her voice.

BUTT 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2003 I'm still replaying Cosby getting in a good line on her at the Emmy's. What did he tell her? She was doing interviews in the crowd, and she was talking to Larry David, who was seated near Cosby, mentioning that Curb Your Enthusiasm was unscripted, and then she turned to Cosby, and said "The Cosby Show was always scripted, right?" and he said "Yes, we spoke English". I'm not really sure if it was directed to Wanda or not, since I remember reading somewhere on the net that he may have been referring to the amount of profanity found in Curb Your Enthusiasm.

imajackoff? 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2003 I think she's funny. Her work on the Chris Rock Show and CYE is great. The Fox show was sort of weak though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest FileCabinet Report post Posted December 8, 2003 Wanda can be funny at times. She's made me laugh during a couple of those Chris Rock movies and during her appearances on Curb Your Enthusiasm. But her show was just awful and I'm glad it was cancelled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Redhawk Report post Posted December 8, 2003 She just won a "Commie" last night for best female TV comedy performance. I won't say anyone's necessarily racist around here or at the TV networks, but I will say that Black shows get a much shorter leash than White shows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Frank_Nabbit Report post Posted December 8, 2003 Anyone notice the ratio of White Football Players getting on air roles is HUGE compared to African Americans Daryl Johnson Cris Collinsworth Troy Aikman and a Ton of others over at fox What black guys do they have?
