Red Menace
(TV Guide Online)
-
As you read this, Method & Red is taping its 13th -- and possibly final -- episode...Method Man griped to the Los Angeles Times that Fox wouldn't let him keep it 'ghetto' enough. 'This is frustrating for me,' he said, 'and it's not turning out for me as expected.'Hello, knucklehead, the show's on Fox, which is, um, like in the same company as, duh, right-wing Fox News, no? Hmm, even my overactive imagination can't see Fox putting out anything but stock images and stereotypes of Black America, and of course Method Man wants to play right into that, like the genius he is. That is 'creative control' to a fool like that. But hey, that's not really the point here. This is: the show wasn't/isn't FUNNY. I don't give a sh*t if it was or wasn't ghetto enough (though it seems more like insider hip-hop industry humor to me)... but how about giving us something to laugh at, Meth?, if it's a comedy? That's my problem with the show. Take a lesson from Chappelle, if you really want to do something, take your wack show to cable. Shame on a n***a... Also, note how TV Guide describes the show: '...Menace.' That's typical: demonize the bruthas in order to sell your product.
