THERE WAS INTEREST IN IT FROM A MAJOR ENTERTAINMENT  COMPANY.  I ALSO SPOKE TO A CONTACT IN CALIFORNIA, WRITER/PRODUCER JANINE SHERMAN ABOUT PRODUCING IT ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO.

THEN INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, A SHOW CALLED BLACKISH CAME ONTO THE SCENE.  IT HAD A SIMILAR THEME, A COMEDY ABOUT BOUGIE BLACK PEOPLE REFLECTING ON THEIR TAKE OF THE CULTURE AROUND THEM AS IT APPLIES TO THEIR SENSE OF "BLACKNESS".  IT'S ENTERTAINING, BUT MY BOOKS BRING A LITTLE MORE TO THE TABLE.

THEIR SHOW CENTERS AROUND A BLACK FAMILY.  THE PARENTS, OR AT LEAST THE DAD, HAD A KIND OF ROUGH UPBRINGING AND BECAME SUCCESSFUL, SO HIS KIDS DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE TOUGH LIFE, THEY JUST KNOW PRIVILEGE.

IN MY BOOKS, THE MAIN CHARACTER TINA WEST, A GOSSIP COLUMNIST,  REFLECTS UPON HER PARENTS GROWING UP IN THE DEEP SOUTH AND DEALING WITH JIM CROW AND WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW AS SHE THINKS ABOUT NOT ONLY RACE, BUT SEXISM AND CLASSISM.  SHE'S ALSO IS A SINGLE WOMAN NAVIGATING THE ROAD OF LOVE AND WORK IN A COMPLEX URBAN ENVIRONMENT AND THE JUDGMENT ABOUT HER CHOICES.  SHE'S A SUCCESSFUL WOMAN AND SHE'S SHARING HER TRIUMPHS AND TRIBULATIONS WITH US.

THERE ARE TWO BOOKS AND A THIRD IS COMING: BOUGIE IN NEW YORK AND BOUGIE IN KOREA.  IF YOU WANT TO READ A SOMETHING A LITTLE DEEPER, NOT JUST COMEDY, BUT A DRAMEDY,  THAT DEALS WITH HAPPINESS AND HEARTBREAK THEN.........TRY IT!!!!!!

TYRANT IS BACK!!!!!!

TOMORROW, TUESDAY, JUNE 16, 2015 IS THE RETURN OF TYRANT.  I REVIEWED THE SHOW LAST SUMMER AND I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE THAT IT'S BACK!

WILL THE REAL BARRY PLEASE STAND UP AND TAKE BACK CONTROL FROM YOUR BROTHER?!

BARRY IS IN PRISON AND HIS POWER MAD AND PARANOID BROTHER IS IN POWER. WILL BARRY BE EXECUTED?  PROBABLY NOT SINCE HE'S THE LEAD IN THE SHOW WHO IS REALLY SUPPOSED TO BECOME THE TYRANT, HENCE THE REAL MEANING OF THE TITLE.

WELL, I'M SURE THERE WILL BE LOTS OF DRAMA AND DEVIOUSNESS BETWEEN THE BROTHERS, THEIR WIVES, AND THE OTHERS IN THEIR DECEITFUL ENTOURAGES TO ENTHRALL VIEWERS.

TYRANT IS ON FX ON TUESDAY NIGHT.  CHECK LOCAL LISTINGS.
