Oliver isn’t anywhere near boring, and he was a criminal.

Do you think I could create a character in 2020 that was criminal and also the only black part of the cast?

I dunno but you didn’t lose your job for being white. ***You said yourself*** you lost it because the network mismanaged it and the ratings were bad.

"Mismanaged" was my kind interpretation of the past. The context was that they had already decided to transition to focus on a black audience. So my show got "accidentally" "mismanaged" out of existence, conveniently.

So it was a conspiracy against you because you were white?

Not me alone. And by the way, the UPN strategy to suddenly focus on a black audience is not in dispute.

Free fucking market, snowflake. They decided to serve a market they were confident they could cultivate an audience from-their obligation under the capitalist model. Didn't cancel all "white shows", just the lowest rated & nobody watched dilbert! Before we knew you're a racist

UPN is allowed to direct their focus to black audiences. No network— especially today— would be allowed to direct focus to a white audience in the same way. There are entire organizations keeping tabs. This is not “free market capitalism.”

The entirety of western history has been directing focus on a white audience! Jerrod carmichael had a critically acclaimed sitcom that was cancelled for the same reason as dilbert- low ratings (although- even with the emergence of streaming, dilbert was watched by less people)

It's possible that Dilbert got cancelled because it failed to resonate with a large enough tv audience and the network wasn't seeing a big enough return to keep it on. If it was doing Super Bowl numbers it would probably still be on tv.

The original Star Trek was also cancelled in its day. The point being that time slot can drive success as much or more than the show.
