Such a shame, right! Something about his school looking too much like a juvenile detention center, along with his use of slang. It just looks like a muppet-version of “Welcome Back, Kotter” to me…

I’m just reading this now. This is great. There must be some way of making this happen, other than waiting for Ira Glass to call. (Although, wouldn’t it beyong cool if Ira Glass called?)

I really love this! I always wonder what we can do for more (solid) black programming on both radio and television.

Thanks, everyone. I really appreciate the feedback and I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who feels this way about the show. On Twitter, I was directed to Youth Radio for its diverse programming, so I'll be checking that out too.

This is wonderful! I, too, love-love-love TAL and Ira … and you totallly nailed the one complaint I ever have about the show. Please send this to him (and, from Wilhelmina’s keyboard to Ira’s mind)!
