"Creaming The Tube" - Laurence and Elaine discuss their hopes for the new ABC drama, Scandal with Kerry Washington as the star. SUMMARY : Prior to seeing episode 1 of Scandal, Laurence and Elaine talk about where black stars become way too black for Primetime. Elaine could care less about skin color or vaginae, she just wants good fashion and a good story. Far too often does the race card get thrown around on Whitetime, we mean Primetime, and shows with good leads don't last. If you want to make a black show take it to BET, if you want to make a good show where the lead "happens" to be black, then do it right and don't shove Sarafina down our throats. Kerry Washington is TOO good to be sucked into the "black" hole. Let her show her greatness which has absolutely NOTHING to do with being black or even being a woman. She's a great actor period. ABOUT CREAMING THE TUBE "Creams" are the longer, more serious, and more detailed discussions Laurence and Elaine sometimes get into while filming the shorter "Clips-n-Bits" show. The "Creams" often look at specific issues, concepts, or ideas that launch the 2BlackGeeks into sometimes heated discussions that are too long for the main show. If you're interested in how Laurence and Elaine truly feel about some of the television they consume, these "Creams" are definitely for you.
