View Full Version : City of Angels (2000) tv series SWEETEA 11-05-2013, 08:15 PM Anyone have this complete? TMC 01-17-2016, 01:35 AM http://madamenoire.com/608902/city-of-angels-remembering-cbs-first-and-last-black-drama/ Tomorrow marks the 16th anniversary of the very last time CBS had a show with a predominately Black cast in its lineup. The series was called City of Angels and it was the network television’s first predominantly Black medical drama. The show, which premiered in 2000, centered around the lives of doctors and nurses at the fictitious Angels of Mercy community hospital in Los Angeles. Basically it was like E.R., but with Black and Hispanic people. And it starred Blair Underwood, Gabrielle Union, Hill Harper, and just about every Black actor who was not named Denzel or Halle at the time. What made the show even more interesting was that it was a grand experiment by CBS President and CEO Leslie Moonves and executive producer Steven Bochco (Hill Street Blues, Doogie Howser and NYPD Blue) to test the public’s appetite for shows starring Black actors. In other words, would White people support a show which did not center around them? siblis 01-17-2016, 09:56 PM I just have one episode: City Of Angels 1)The castle of dreams #1131C |
