Saints and Sinners the 6th and final season by Phinesse Demps

Midday SOul Show Black

 

When it comes to good Black Television, rarely do we see iconic shows last beyond 4-5 seasons due to network television games when it comes to paying those in front of the camera and those behind the camera.

Normally as one who has been the local black entertainment reporter, I would blame white production companies/networks, which don’t get me wrong, they definitely do deserve some of the blame, but the real blame falls on two groups, Black Media, no matter the size, and the viewing audience. 

Black Media: When we have great shows like Saints & Sinners, which has grown by numbers every year it has been on the air not only on original or secondary air dates, but also on streaming platforms like Hulu or the Brown Sugar App, we need to talk about plan watch parties, or even grant interviews, to bring this show more life and eyeballs, to a show that has never been nominated by any Black Award Show, let that sink in. The show can’t get a nomination for anything? I find it hard to believe.

Viewing Audience: Whenever a network wants to get rid of a Black Program that is doing well by the numbers and standards that they set for shows, they will begin to start moving shows around come there 3-4yr to confuse you the viewer until you stop watching, then that will justify giving end of the year grade to with drop, with no closure of episodes or a one year to wrap up storyline which becomes rushed and well corny. This shouldn’t happen and you the viewing audience can do something about it. Saints & Sinners is set to end after this season but if you a fan of the show, then you know that this show has easily 8-10 seasons of material. If you agree, then write to Bounce TV: info@bouncetv.com and jim.weiss@scripps.com , and express your thoughts on why Saints & Sinners should not be canceled.
