Okay, did anybody see this show yet? I think this show will be THE SHIZ-NET this summer as far as black drama tv shows go. Some say it reminds them of "The GAME", and i conquer..it does kinda remind you of that show, but without the outlandish ball playa tactics. Another different spin on this show is the fact that it zeros in on the psyche of women..and the GAME seemed to zero in on the psyche of male-football playaz.
But I do like this show. I love to see prominent, affluent, well dressed black fold on tv. This new show-Single Ladies is a long way from the 1970s hit GOOD TIMES and 227. It is literally a star-studded cast including main characters STACY DASH (actress) and LISA MCCOY(actress). And their leading men are familiar faces in the black movie industry. You'll also be shocked to see star appearances from CHILLI (from singing group TLC), COMMON (conscious rapper), JERMAINE DUPRI (So So Def CEO/rapper), just to name a few. This show has plenty of twists and turns with the token-white female in the "black girl click", braggin on the fact she is messing around with the mayor (who is actually Common) and all the while she is married to a black man. Then, you see Stacy Dash (a successful boutique owner/stylist) getting dumped by her boo, and the next time you see her she is confronted with her ex-boyfriend's new chic, comin up in her store buying clothes , like its all good. YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT, AIN'T THAT MESSED UP? Then you see Stacy Dash comfort her old-dog of a boyfriend about how she didnt appreciate his new piece comin up in her store like that , and he talking bout, "Well i never loved you anyway i just didnt have the heart to tell you", then she kicks him out of her house for good. But ,as always, a few seconds later, here he come,. back up in her apartment, and then you know what happened. YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT. THEY HAD THE EVER-SO POPULAR "I KNOW WE JUST BROKE UP BUT I AM STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU BUMP-N-GRIND SESSION". Plus she had rebound sex with the average white boy next door who happens to be an owner of a local tattoo shop. And what's even worse is, she ended up pregnant!!! Or so she thought she was, when she took about 5 over-the-counter pregnancy pee pee tests. But turns out, the tests were old as Methuselah, expired, and she never was pregnant at all. Note to self, dont' buy pregnancy tests from the dollar store..could be from 1979.
So anyway, tune in to SINGLE LADIES on VH-1 and check me out next time here on Reality Weekly.
