Oh, you mean Classic TV for Black People
So, I was watching the show Soap on DVD. It’s a TV show from the 70′s that was pretty funny. All 4 seasons are on DVD. Anyway, I’m on the final disk of the final season and there is a selection for previews, so I decide to check it out. Under it, it has two itemsL “Classic Comedy TV” and “Classic Comedy TV (Urban)”.
So, I’m curious, and I watch both. They are basically advertisements for DVD sets of some of the old shows that are coming out. Here are the shows in each:
Classic Comedy TV
- Sanford & Son
- The Jeffersons
- Soap
- What’s Happening
- Good Times
- Barney Miller
- All in the Family
And now, Classic Comedy TV (Urban)
- Sanford & Son
- The Jeffersons
- What’s Happening
- Good Times
So I thought “Ohh. URBAN.” Which in their minds means that it was only the shows with black people. Maybe they never showed Barney Miller in the hood.
Black 6, out.

Hmm, so where does Fresh Price of Bel Air fit? It’s funny I sometimes don’t notice what people are in the shows. If I like the show then there. Hope you are doing well, Sharon
@justhopingnow - I don’t think the Fresh Prince counts as classic television. I mean the ones that were mentioend were at a time where there was no cable, limited shows, and TV was starting to take off, as fas as I know.
