Very interesting threads. OP states good writers left Hwood 98/99 which makes sense because it was at this time we entered the age of reality t.v., which is pretty much all tv anymore. OP indicates transformation began with the advent of MTV, became more prominent with RAP (sucked in whites with MM). I know OP is a movie director, but wish could have touched on the social engineering aspect of reality tv, which is all liberal ideology.
