How about the Simpsons? Or Malcolm in the Middle?

But I forget. Those are done by 19th Century Fox. The network that gave us "Living Color" -- Proof that comedy can't cross color lines.

Well, the Simpsons has a black doctor, a hispanic (I think) doctor, an Indian, a black nuclear engineer, a Jewish clown, a gay guy...

Malcom has the (token) disabled black kid.

The Simpsons have black characters (Dr hibert and Lenny). Living Color was brilliant but was just too far out there for the "Fox window" (back then they were only a network during primetime, outside of that the affiliates were completely independant), if they'd have been able to put it on late night they'd never have invented MAD TV because Living Color would still be running.

"Those are done by 19th Century Fox."

LOL You're quoting Tim Robbins? I have to say, he sounded as though he were trying to do Shakespear when he gave this little schpiel the other day.
