    Curious to see if anyone here has watched this. I started watching it on a whim since I have Prime. Stuck it on and ended up enjoying it. The cast has a hell of a lot of jews and Italians though but they paint a reality that I think many black Americans forgot about. There are a hell of a lot of classy, wealthy, put-together black figures in this show. I feel like we were heading up and doing great things in spite of everything happening in the 50s and 60s but then something shifted. I am not going to say it was the jews in the entertainment industry and the whites ripping off our dance and music talents, but I am also not going to say it wasn't. Let's be real. lol

    Anyways, it is a pretty entertaining show. Follows a female comedian trying to break out in her career. Back then, comedy was a hard sell and they didn't want women with pottymouths involved. Funny to see a proper white girl from the 1950s/60s talking like a trucker. lol
