Not untrue at all, but it still has some episodes and gags worth a once-over.

I used to think stuff like this was unrealistic but apparently it's a thing, or used to be.

I actually work in a hospital now and while Scrubs is all exaggerated and TV the general atmosphere translates pretty well, where things feel kind-of dumb and goofy until "oh poo poo dying person everyone battlestations."

The Boondocks is about black characters but was designed with a white market in mind.

yeah, i've heard this from friends of mine who are doctors and they've said that Scrubs was the most accurate of any of the hospital shows

Yeah the constant critique of black culture and black cultural icons (Martin Luther King, rappers, Tyler Perry, Civil Rights-era protesters, slavery-era folk heroes, Katrina victims, Jesse Jackson, self-hating black people, self-hating-black-people-hating-black people, Black Panther-era activists, etc etc etc in literally every episode) was totally intended to speak to white people


Basically totally identical to The Cosby Show, a show about black characters designed for mainstream appeal, in every respect especially tone and how it handled racial issues

yep


retard


Edit: White person: Wow, that sure was a scathing take on my hip-hop community's homophobia issues
