When Good (Okay, Decent) TV Shows Start To Rely on Stereotypes

I’m not just talking reality TV folks. Take for instance, “The Game.” That was such an awesome show at one point. The characters were funny, the problems were real (not soap opera crazy), and the storylines had you thirsty for the next episode. But once the show switched over to BET and the setting fast forwarded a bit, the characters just became extremely ratchet (sorry, I just had to use that word…). Melanie went from being a sweet Med student crazy in love to just plain crazy and conniving. Tasha Mack got louder and annoying, the drama became a bit too much (uh, didn’t it start out as a comedy???), and they just made all the women on that show a hot mess after a while. If I was Tia Mowry, I wouldn’t be too sad about parting ways with the program either. And don’t get me started on these reality shows, a la, “Basketball Wives” and “Love and Hip-Hop” that started off tame and interesting, but turned into tacky, all female versions of “WWE Smackdown.”
