The Peacock Resurrection: Three tv shows in NBC's New 2010-2011 line up.

"The Event" - Described as a suspense-filled conspiracy thriller involving another Black President. My question: Why can't we have a black president in a time of peace on these t.v. shows and movies? Either the world is being destroyed or some mysterious organization is trying to take over the Government. No wonder people get nervous about Obama in office. They probably think a meteor is about to hit earth.




"Undercovers" - A J.J. Abrams action spy thriller involing a black husband and wife spy team. It's like Eye Spy but both partners are black. J.J. Abrams has experience in this type of show but Boris Kodjoe as the lead. He is too tall and modelesque for this role. His t.v. wife, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, looks too young. Too bad TVOne couldn’t have developed this one. It would have done well during their Sunday Night line-up.




"Outlaw's" - About a Supreme Court justice who resigns from the bench to practicing regular law. You know “Regular Law” – Divorces, Malpractice, Wills and other regular type stuff. The lead character is Jimmy Smits, who is a very good actor but two things stand out to me.

#1 – He is too young to have been a Supreme Court justice. Unless he got the job after he finished law school.

#2 - If he leaves, there will be no other “wise” Latino judges on the bench.
