Storyline: Dark, biting satire of the television industry, focusing on an Ivy League educated black writer at a major network. Frustrated that his ideas for a "Cosby Show"-esque take on the black family have been rejected by network brass, he devises an outlandish scheme: reviving the minstrel show.

The show becomes an instant smash, but with the success also come repercussions for all involved.—N. Cognito <nobody@noplace>
