Ask Matt

Question: I appreciate the fact that you addressed the reader's question about the lack of minority sitcoms. No, The Cleveland Show does not count. It's a cartoon voiced by a white man, written by a white man. Don't get me wrong — Seth MacFarlane and his writing staff are top-notch. But come on, a cartoon character is the best the networks can do? Also, you were dead on about Sex and the City. I hated it. (And I am female and loved the show.) Carrie acted like an idiot. Her man told her several times that he was not happy with all the wedding plans (in that non-direct way some men have) and she just didn't listen. You'd think after dating a man for years that Carrie would be able to read him better. I was so disgusted. The most real stories for me were those of Samantha and Miranda. I am so tired of watching new shows with increasingly younger and white casts. Every black woman is not the "sassy best friend" of some white woman. Please don't forget about your minority readers. Thanks a bunch.— Pam
