Members amybrickwallace Posted March 15, 2014 Members Share Posted March 15, 2014 Let's hope the folks at TV One are reading this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted March 15, 2014 Members Share Posted March 15, 2014 I wonder if Haywood is still a Scientologist. He gave L. Ron Hubbard a shoutout during the WH!! reunion on Jenny Jones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted March 15, 2014 Members Share Posted March 15, 2014 I think he is. I know Ernest was also a Scientologist, but I'm not sure if he is one anymore. The late Fred Berry became a Baptist minister before he passed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VirginiaHamilton Posted March 21, 2014 Members Share Posted March 21, 2014 Anyone watch the Dick Gregory episode yet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted March 21, 2014 Members Share Posted March 21, 2014 Damn! I hope this one repeats because I didn't see it. I have to remember to put Unsung HW on the DVR. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted March 25, 2014 Members Share Posted March 25, 2014 Don't worry, TV One repeats their Unsung eps all the time. I did see the Dick Gregory episode (and it was great to see Richard Belzer among the interviewees), it was very good. Wednesday at 10 PM is the newest ep - about Flip Wilson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VirginiaHamilton Posted March 26, 2014 Members Share Posted March 26, 2014 As I watched the Dick Gregory Unsung, I kept on drawing a blank as to which black comedian in this era would have the courage to turn down big paycheck after big paycheck to stand up, stand tall, and fight for his / her people. That made me sad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted March 26, 2014 Members Share Posted March 26, 2014 Yes, it does. God bless him. I'm looking forward to the Flip Wilson episode tonight. His show was before my time, and I don't know that much about him, so this should be a good ep. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted March 27, 2014 Members Share Posted March 27, 2014 It was a pretty good episode tonight about Flip Wilson. Next week, the movie Cooley High will be profiled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted March 27, 2014 Members Share Posted March 27, 2014 Holy sh!t! I cannot wait I have Flip on the DVR and will watch that this weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VirginiaHamilton Posted March 27, 2014 Members Share Posted March 27, 2014 Flip Wilson is one of those celebrities / shows that was right before my time (as I'm an 80s baby), so while I've heard/read of it/him many times, I've never actually seen an episode - all the more reason why he fit the very definition of Unsung perfectly. (I love Pam Grier, but I'd hardly consider her "unsung" amongst those who matter - i.e.: her core audience). I wasn't crazy about seeing that hatchet-faced heifer, Joan Rivers, but I figure that this was the wrinkle that I had to deal with in an otherwise great episode. That said, seeing clips of OJ Simpson mingling with Black folks on Black shows never fails to startle me, considering what lay ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted March 27, 2014 Members Share Posted March 27, 2014 Especially in Flip's final episode where OJ was thought to be Geraldine's boyfriend..."Killer"? That made me shiver. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted March 27, 2014 Members Share Posted March 27, 2014 I have a friend who thought that Boyz II Men were the first to sing "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday". I sent her the link of G.C. Cameron's original from the Cooley High soundtrack. I assume Lawrence-Hilton Jacobs will be in the episode (at least, I hope!!). In any case, it looks like it will be a good episode. Can't wait to see it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
