Favorite African-American Cast TV Shows
Nanashi Okashi In celebration of my mixed-heritage, I'd like to present this list of 10 favorite African-American cast TV shows. (Big ups to all my peeps in Detroit. Whaddupdoe.) So, why did these shows make the list over others? It's mainly because, IMHO, these shows have stood the test of time. They are shows that I have never gotten tired of watching their reruns, even all these years later.
