My mother and father are no longer here. So I am asking everyone within the sound of my voice or sight of this page… Celebrate me home. Come back with me. Watch this show. I am so proud but grew up in a family where we were told that “bragging” is wrong. Forgive me, Mommy. Can’t hold this one back. Although I never fell for a boy from Baltimore, there were a few in Silver Spring, Shepherd Park, North Portal Estates… #iykyk #homecoming #cbsdaytime #audramcdonald #baltimore #beyondthegates #dcnative #shepherdparkdc #shepherdpark #motherlesschild #imnotatouristilivehere #washingtonian

As is often the case I was joking. I knew she didn't mean "bangers & mash". I asked Bing CoPilot to tell me about it: 

"Bangers and mash" is a classic British comfort food. It consists of sausages (the "bangers") served with mashed potatoes (the "mash"). The dish is typically accompanied by onion gravy and sometimes peas or other vegetables.

The name "bangers" comes from World War I, when sausages were made with such a high water content that they would often burst (or "bang") during cooking. It's a hearty and satisfying dish that's loved for its simplicity

Just curious, why in the world do they keep misspelling Xavier as Xaviar? Wouldn't his union object? Credits are taken seriously.

Another thing, I finally saw that Michael dude who I saw listed with the writers in a non-SON blurb pre-launch. He only showed up on the very long Wed, closing credits among tons of other producers. Have you noticed that this show has more producers than I've ever seen? And I've been a credits watcher since way back when, even when credits were full screen.

Jamey Giddens just tweeted that he has completed his time at Sistas.
He's now writing *only* for BTG.

He should be very proud of his work there. He left the show as the #1 cable program among Black viewers and I know the fans loved what he did with the show. I hope he carries that same positive energy to Beyond the Gates.

I just saw a video of Tyler expressing his annoyance with the creatives who took over some of his shows, the choices they made, and viewing numbers lost and was wondering if Jamey was one of the ones he was bitching about but maybe not if the show he tookover still maintained good ratings. TP is very aggy here

That is interesting! I don't know if he includes Sistas in that but I know he's always been resistant to having writers rooms, especially when they tried to unionize against him years ago. One of the biggest complaints people have with Tyler's writing is how slow it is and the lack of follow through so I imagine that might be a struggle for him when he see's others moving the story forward. I mean, The Have and Have Nots was a primetime series and I wanna say something like a weeks worth of time passed over 7 seasons. He has a very unique way of writing things.
