“Oh Snap! ‘Golden Girls’ Is On!” 15 White Shows That Black Folks Love–Past And Present

December 27th, 2012 - By Cecily Michelle

As black Americans, we naturally tend to gravitate toward shows that have casts who look like us, address our issues and live in our communities. Although this is true, we still won’t hesitate to pick up our remotes and flip to the channel hosting our favorite non-black addiction, whether it’s a reality show, sitcom or drama. Here’s a look at a few of those “white shows” that reel us in despite their lack of black and brown characters.

The Wonder Years

The Wonder Years

Uniquely structured as a narrative, this has to be one of the most memorable sitcoms of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. It was hard not to love watching Kevin reminisce on his childhood days with his stern pops, love-struck brother Wayne, and pretty little girlfriend Winnie. Yeah, this one was a favorite for a lot of people, and for good reason with its classic storylines and the fact that it could tackle a tumultuous time in history and find a way to make the lives of people dealing with the changing times comical.

    So loved the list although I never watched sex in the city, curb your enthusiasm, friends or real housewives of oc. Roseanne is probably my favorite show on the list outside of Entourage because I loved Turtle the blackest white guy ever nothing but jogging suits, jerseys, fitted caps and j’s were his entire wardrobe and smoking weed and playing video games his past time. I do think that you forgot Family Ties who didn’t love Micheal J Fox and Growing Pains Kirk Cameron was the cutest thing.

      The Cosby show was the best show in the 1980′s.

    You lost me at Mob Wives. Those reality shows are not something i ever watched more than one episode of. Why not put something good on like King of Queens, Frasier, or How I Met Your Mother?
