▌POLITRIX ▌Regina King: "We recorded the [premiere] two years ago..."

Peep Regina King's interview with South Cack-a-lack-eee's Tessa and Baby J.

This is a piece of cable's circus. Cable isn't held to the same tight scheduling guidelines that broadcast is known for. Pilot-schmilot. Air it in fall... Air it in spring... Air it in summer... Relevance? What's the difference? Producers in cable are at liberty to air when they please. And if you were left feeling like I did when the Boondocks premiered, it's not because the show lost its sting.

It has everything to do with the politics of programming--and cable's own fear of the FCC. That realm isn't all the way live immune.

*Sighs... But make no mistake--I'm still in love! (Tonight was uncomfortable as hell, though, no? Hermanito had to go to sleep.)
