I admit that i was only 9 when this first came out . But i remember it . I liked Aka Pablo enough to follow the careers of the people that were in it ( especially Paul and Hector of course ) over the course of decades . The show was appealing and funny but yes it had problems . it was a one month show . check out some of the stinker Seinfeld episodes , or friends , or all in the family from the first few shows. given time , it would have flesh out , been funny , made a point , had awkward messaging shows ( say no to drugs and all that) but it wasn't given a chance . too soon maybe .
I believe that the concept for this show ( or Margret Cho ) is good . One that needs to be said . But for a show about ethnic to be viable both the studio and the audience have to sit back and let it become . we don't allow that enough. Tyler Perry's shows still have some stereotypes but the reason that some stereotypes need to be showcased in humor is to let people know that we are aware of them. If we jump up screaming every time a racial stereotype is said , or shown we shoot out own causes in the foot . acceptance is long and involved many growing pains . The ethnicity has to see its worst traits amplified and the whites have to accept .
