Soul Food - The Complete First Season

Rating:
Summary: Good Series!!
Review: Why is this show unbelievable? Is it because it shows blacks in a positive light instead of the jive talkin', rappin, loud talking, fool acting people that blacks potray in most of these dumb tv shows on today? Blacks can be successful and it is about time a TV show like Soul Food was made to show it. This is one of the rare exceptions that the TV remake is actually better than the original movie. Most white people don't believe this, but there are sucessful blacks out here that are not sports stars or rappers. This show potrays middle class blacks going through everyday (and some not so everyday) problems that people go through. If this was a white show it would have earned several Emmys by now.

Summary: THE BEAUTY OF PEOPLE BLACK
Review: YES! Finally a complex, beautiful, and fully rendered televised drama of African-American life. Minus failing to really explore our rich religious heritage, SOUL FOOD provides muli-layered images and stories of Black families in love & struggle. All of the characters are rich in perspective and multdimensional, but Kenny is especially beautiful (right word). As a Black husband, father, teacher, and son, Kenny's character moves me beyond measure, for here I see my - and many, not all, Black men's - realities, fears, hopes, dreams, and joys mirrored on the screen. Kenny & Max's family is the heart of how Black People have made it over all these years, and how despite the odds, we will make it in the future. SHOWTIME, THANK YOU FOR SOUL FOOD! Please release seasons 2-6 immediately! As wonderful as SOUL FOOD is, like the many great choices we have in Black literature & music, it is time for BET AND OTHER TELEVISION STATIONS TO GIVE US 7+ excellent portraits of THE BEAUTY OF PEOPLE BLACK.

Summary: Love the DVD, hate the shorter edited scenes
Review: YES! I was ecstatic to have the DVD, I _almost_ threw away my VHS dubs: that beautiful love scene in the 1st episode and other scenes were edited (let's just say Boris' behind was seen much more on tv ;,). Otherwise YES, I love the show and didn't hesitate despite the price to support an African American producer, though price should be accessible to eliminate the possibility of bootlegs.
