 ¿Por qué?

 The reason for the cancellation of this show is what? Time to pull it out! Time for the Almighty, Old-School

 Who wants to bet that, behind closed doors, there was a feud between the network executives and Mr. Lopez. There has to be a valid reason about why the series is receiving this sudden cancelation. While not a watcher of his series day after day, from what was seen, Lopez delivered the laughs while doubling them up from reruns from his hit sitcom on Nick @ Nite. Looking at the ratings, the prediction is that they're fine unless TBS was expecting an increase from the Hispanic community. With him gone, save for the mentioned reruns, who will step into the shoes of being the next big late-night talk show host? I hope that it’s not Tyler Perry. He has gone through that phase before and won’t return to it unless he has a new film that he has written, produced/co-produced, starred, and directed. It’s already bad enough that rumors have begun about him having his own network. Think this is a rumor? Think again.

Let me guess on who gave him the cash.

What will appear on his network that hasn’t been on others before directed toward the African-American community? More reruns of One on One? The Proud Family? Good Times? It was like Lionsgate failed to think about BET and TVOne as the channels delivering what the execs running those networks think that we will watch.If people thought that bringing back Conan the Barbarian without California's former governor was a mistake, try 24 hours of nothing but mind numbing TV with unfunny comedy, stereotypical characters, and, even if classics such as the already mentioned Good Times will appear, is it too early to ask for the return of Fat Albert? Not the live-action/animated film. Just the animated series. It'll be better than seeing Oscar Proud get treated unfairly by his family every episode or looking back to Good Times and becoming angry because someone's parents have seen every episode to the point of annoyance when they prevent their children from changing the channel to watch them all again.

If anything has to get canceled, can it be The Playboy Club? It's NBC being the new MTV thinking that a show with risque themes will rule the roost with ratings on weekday evenings. The show's already not going to be shown in a few affiliates. Why can't the show die or move to basic cable with the likes of HBO and Showtime's programming? Men out here don't want to see any of the action edited especially when it comes to the women.

Also, a little update: Be prepared for a flurry of film reviews including those from last month to keep everyone busy as this writer prepares to return back to school in the Fall.
