I am LOVIN' TV One right now. In my opinion, they are much more relevant on what the black community wants to see than BET. One of the things I like best about them is their "Throwback Theatre" which features black film from the 30's to the present, some of them rarely seen.
Today they are showing "Uptown Saturday Night", "Let's Do It Again" (both with Sidney Poiter and Bill Cosby), as well as the mecca of black exploitation flicks "Superfly".
Most film lovers have seen these films, but what I want to comment on is the amazing soundtracks of these and other black 70's films. Can you imagine "Superfly" or "Claudine" or even "The Mack" without the music? Not even half as memorable. So if you get a chance to check out these films this weekend, pay close attention to the genius music by Curtis Mayfield and others. TV One's website is http://www.tvoneonline.com/. Represent!
