TBS has cemented itself as home of minority-driven comedies

"I always wanted to be" on TBS, says Ice Cube, star and producer of "Are We There Yet?," which premieres tonight. "All these other stations, you can’t find anybody who will give diverse programming a chance. We had a few other meetings, but I knew if we went to another network, we’d have to teach them. TBS already gets it."

Thanks for the link! Really good article and although I've been following TBS for years, this article helped me truly realize that, wow, they have not only the best of sitcom reruns but are producing a vast variety of new sitcoms and have diverse original programming that they have fit in very nicely to their regular lineup of shows.

It makes me think that TBS is one of the most well-run networks that we have today. Their innovative thinking has been at play throughout the years (Turner Time, Dinner & Movie, Ripley's Believe it or Not, getting big-name movies and sitcoms, not to mention dramas like Lois & Clark, Dawson's Creek, Little House, etc and then today with all of the African-American comedies and now expanding that to late-night talk shows). I'm really impressed with TBS right now!

I agree. They run their network a lot better than a lot of execs. Looking forward to seeing "Neighbors from Hell" next week. Hopefully that will last.
