Rocked by lay-offs, cuts, & closures, some fear show business is "over." With vast entertainment options & new tech, insiders say we're in a "post-industry" world, & the pendulum won't swing back. Industry expert @ThatChrisGore, however, has other ideas. New podcast out now.

Not ONE of these campus revolutionaries said a word when their government stole critical years of their young lives for the sake of a cold. They'll stand up for Gazans, for Ukranians, for non-citizens—ANYone, except for themselves and other Americans. I'm not impressed.

People claim that identifying with fictional characters is about sharing the same race, gender or sexuality...but that's nonsense. Culture critic @ThatChrisGore explains why. New podcast drops tomorrow. Stay tuned.

The Cosby Show The Jeffersons Amen! Martin 227 Roc The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Family Matters A Diff'rent World Living Single The diversity of Black American sitcoms in the 80s and 90s was amazing. What a great era of television to have grown up watching.
