I had heard of it and it made an impression. Mostly I am incredibly impressed with how outspoken and brave Jessica is to both see and express all of these perspectives. These comments though about white women seem a little off. These shows are about spoiled primadonnas, does it matter what ethnicity they are, really? Shouldn't we be really careful about classifying all white women as such, as having anything to do with the characters on these shows? That seems very sexist to me and racist. I am a white woman and my life has been the opposite of these characters, and I find them offensive on the basis of their whole attitudes, not b/c of their color.

Does no one at that company have any vision? This programming decision is one that will come back very quickly to bite them on the ass. This is a new era that requires new programming that reflects changed sensibilities, and there doesn't seem to be anyone at that network who understands this. Does anyone at CW have a clue?

Professional football players and their wives/girlfriends seem to fit in with the glamorous lives of those of 90210 and Gossip Girl. Hopefully the new format will get a green light for the sake of Tia Mowry. Isn’t The Game about rich people too?

(I can't think of anything for ABC or CBS) I am so freakin sick and tired of this 90210 bullshit (what the hell was that token Arab guy for? Just ONE non-white in the cast, set in Los Angeles? Give me a goddamned break) It’s not just CW. FOX and MTV are obsessed with airing TV shows about spoiled, whiney, privileged rich white girls. (I can’t think of anything for ABC or CBS)
