Rest in Paradise to the beautiful Nichelle Nichols who opened the doors for so many in film and television.

Tommy From POWER May Be Getting His Own Show. (VIDEO) of Tommy’s Journey via @lisafordblog
Of course Tommy finished the show POWER (Starz) alive because, well, that’s what the whole world wanted. Following the jaw-dropping last episode, which honed in on Tommy’s (played by Joseph Sikora) backstory, the audience was able to connect with this character by learning his true motivation…to be loved and accepted by his mother (or by anybody at this point). Tommy remained loyal to the streets throughout all of the seasons of Power, he never snitched on any of his conrads, and remained a powerful one-man…

THE BOONDOCKS!! Official Season 4 Preview!! (VIDEO)
I've been sitting on pins and needles for YEARS waiting on the new episode of the critically-acclaimed, politically-theme animated show, THE BOONDOCKS. Recently it was announced that the show's writer and Creator, AARON MCGRUDER, is not involved in the new and final season. I'm worried. I hope that the one who's running things now does not elude from the controversial topics or water down the principles that made this show popular and relevant. By the looks of the preview, I think it's still gonna be…

MR. SPOCK Understanding Women (VIDEO) #StarTrek #SciFi #Throwback
One brilliant aspect from the 1960's STAR TREK sci-fi television show is 1st Officer and Science Officer of the Starship S.S. Enterprise, MR. SPOCK. Spock is a superior, logical-thinking alien genius, and Captain Kirk's right-hand man, who forces humans to take a look at their flawed ideologies. STAR TREK, set in the Milky Way galaxy during the 2260s, was way beyond it's time...literally. Check out one of my favorite clips from the show.

The BOONDOCKS & Adult Swim have put us all through an emotional roller coaster with the slow release of Season 4. We've waited 4 years to see a new episode of one of the most prolific animated TV series of our generation. Through satiric and paradoxical storytelling, the BOONDOCKS, a show based on the comic strip created by AARON MCGRUDER, is a mirror of American and urban society with all of its perversions. The programming and subject matter have been controversial, to say the least,…
