    Black characters on prime time shows

    why aren't there any or many main characters on prime time shows?

    my favourites are:

    Lost

    Fringe

    Stargate's

    Eleventh Hour (it sucks, but educational to some extent)

    And Fringe has Jasika Nicole who plays an assistant and Lance Reddick who plays an agent, but once again not main characters.

    TBH, I'm pretty bored of Obama already. He is advertised way too much. Everywhere I turn I see a shirt, a pencil, a ****ing license plate for God's sake. I'm annoyed, you'd swear the guy was jesus.

    But yea I wont hijack your thread ranting about how annoying it is.

    Scrubs and Dr. House have black characters.
    Relax... I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts - can you show me where it hurts?

    Lol nah I'll start a thread all about it and keep this one on topic. This topic might turn into a 5 page arguement.

    Well, they are recurrent roles, if that is what you mean... in every episode.

    speaking of which, ER has Galant and Pratt (not sure if they're in the show still though, haven't watched in a while)
