The Television Series Wars by Shari Barnes

There comes a time when the business of good entertainment is in season. We are in that season right here and  now. The Writers are hot and they are hitting the keys writing about politics, drugs, love, sex, lies, money, murder and power are in the mix for Drama TV's seasonal hits.  The Producers are smart and taking heed to the quality of creative work that lands on their desks.

I noticed that there is a buzz about Scandal vs. Being Mary Jane and Power vs. Empire, why I question? We can do without the crap.These are very different storylines and the plots are exempt from one another.

Whether it's ABC, Fox, BET or Starz, Drama TV is on fire and the bottom line is that when we turn the channel to watch Scandal, Empire, Being Mary Jane or Power we are being entertained by African American Stars who make us want more of Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington), Lucious Lyon (Terrance Howard) & Cookie Lyon (Taraji P. Henson), Mary Jane Paul/Pauletta Patterson (Gabrielle Union) and James "Ghost" St Patrick (Omari Hardwick) and their great supporting actors/actresses. So don't miss the drama be a part of it all...it's the here and now that we look back on in the future.
