Broadcast network MyNetworkTV has ordered 13 episodes of a new sitcom called Under One Roof, starring Flavor Flav, that will debut this Spring. The series will feature Flav in the role of Calvester Hill, an ex-con who moves in with his wealthy, conservative brother Walter. Upon his arrival, Hill starts bringing his old prison buddies by the house, teaching his nephew how to be a gangster rapper and clashing with Walter’s wife Ashley. “I am real excited about my new sitcom Under one Roof,” Flav said in a statement announcing the deal. “I want to thank MyNetworkTV for believing in your boy because we are about to blow this out of the water. I am about to take MyNetworkTV and make it MY network.” Under One Roof is currently in production in Toronto.

“wow they’re remaking fresh prince!”
That’s exactly what I thought. Will Smith wasn’t “gangsta” but the culture clash idea is the same.
I’m guessing that watching Flava will be a lot more (unintentionally?) funny than Big Willie.

So on the one hand you have Chuck D who is helping to rid the world of the stereotypes that have oppressed the black male for so many years and you have his counterpart a man who will forever leave his people feeling a sense of disenfranchisement. I guess for every good there must be an evil. OH flava can you say OTAY! MASSAa, stick it in, but could you use some “lubrican”. Fuck you flavor!!!

Here you have Chuck D a socially conscience black male who is helping to rid the world of nonsensical stereotypes that have set back the black race as a whole…… and then you have his counter part the white mans excuse to continue the oppression disenfranchise a blacks as a whole and leave us yet again asking the question; “Did that really just happen?” Wow Flavor! what won’t you do , to sell out your own people?
Some might say that its all in good fun, but than again so was black face.

WTF…once again prime example of the dumbing down of America, please don’t support this buffoonery, this is the same network that brought you “homeboys from outerspace”, remember when MC Hammer danced for chicken on the KFC commercial ? He did like a 20 sec spin and caught the chicken in his mouth…makes me want to cry and Taser the sh*t out of those producers.

Lots of things have been done in the name of money. Actually I don’t expect anyone to do anything in this country if its not offered. So the fact hes getting money is obvious, but the price WE have to pay is not. Burn Hollywood Burn, no doubt.

Ya’ll cats is hilarious. Ya’ll the same motherfuckers who sit and support the most degrading shit in existence right now to the black race, HIP HOP, and wanna talk about Flava Flav being in a new sitcom. Got kids talking about selling dope and shooting niggaz, and want to talk ’bout Flava Flav. Ya’ll dudes is jerks who really don’t even know how lost ya is. Read a book. If their had not been minstrel shows and black face, there wouldn’t be a whole lotta shit poppin for black folks that is, due to them. Talk about these rich ignant niggaz who been talking about the same damn thing for twenty years. Get off NWA’s dick, ya ignoramuses.
