- so you've got upn, and you've got the wb. they come together to create the cw. beautiful, right? not if you're a black sitcom. black shows disappear. - we felt the shift of the shows trickling away. - some of the hits started coming in that were more like "smallville," "gilmore girls." you only have so many hours you program. something has to give. - and they just canceled us. everybody was just, "oh, we're done. thanks." - i will never forgive the cw for what they did to upn. they really had a good run. we did get great writers like mara brock akil and kenya barris out of that. mara went from writing for "moesha" to creating the influential sitcom "girlfriends." - hey, girl. - hey! - the vision i had for "girlfriends" is i wanted to document our existence as black women. i was a big fan of "sex and the city," and i appreciated that it wasn't centered around a man's opinion about how women were. - i'll be on my way and leave you to your hot lesbian action.
