There's a television network called MyNetworkTV,
and they have a show starring Flavor Flav because ... well, I don't know. And on
this show, Terrell Owens is going to be a guest star, because ... again, I
really don't know. Television confuses and frightens me.
From the promotional e-mail:
Flav plays Calvester Hill, an ex-convict that moves in with his wealthy, conservative brother, Winston (Kelly Perine). Calvester subsequently turns the Hill family’s life upside down, parading his old prison cronies through the house; teaching his nephew Winston Jr. (Jesse Reid) to be a gangsta rapper; and butting heads with Winston’s snooty wife, Ashley (Carrie Genzel), seventeen year-old princess Heather (Marie Michael), and housekeeper Su Ho (Emily Kuroda).
Added Flav, “It is an honor and a blessing to have Terrell ‘Touchdown’ Owens on my show, ‘Under One Roof.’ I am excited and I can't wait to complete an episode with one of my most favorite players in history. One thing special I want to say to Terrell is, ‘Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being part of my show and consider this episode one extra touchdown under your belt.’”
The show is called Under One Roof (they ignored my suggestion for a title, "How
Many Years Can We Set Black People Back?"). It sounds fantastic if
you've ever caught yourself thinking, "I wish there was a show just like The
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, only starring much older people." It debuts
April 16th at 8:00 pm.
Terrell Owens and Flava Flav, together. This can't be good for anybody.

I like that title "How Many Years Can We Set Black People Back?" How about some of these titles? "Hangin' with Mr. Hill, Different Clock Strokes, Bussom Homies, Gimme a Flav, Little House in the Ghetto," I could go on 4ever unlike this show.

and flavor flav has done more with 'flavor of love' then anyone thought he could! im sure that this show won't be any good at all, but cmon its flavor flav trying to act, so you know everyone is going to watch it. im sure it will be hilarious in its own right. i don't think the writers are necessarily trying to win Emmys here.

How good will this new show be if Flavor allows NFL players to guest star?
NFL players having acting skills? Get real! I kind of want to laugh at that. I think NFL players should remain on the football field and not on network televisions (unless its on a sports channel).
Terrell Owens in my opinion most likely doesnt have any acting skills.
If people like Owens, who has never acted, do you think that this could benefit your new show? I dont. Before I got someone to guest star that I liked, I would get someone with years of experience to make sure that my show is going down the right path. You know; making sure people like it in order to get good reviews.
I think that he would cause a lot of drama behind the scenes because thats how it is with him and many teams in the NFL. A lot of people dont like him as a player anymore because of the drama he caused with the Philadelphia Eagles, including me.
Just because you like an NFL player and hes your favorite doesnt mean that he should automatically be a guest star in your own show. I mean, I guess it would be cool and all to say Hey, Terrell Owens was on my show and he wasnt on yours.
Not to bash on Flavor Flav as a person and T.O.s skills as a Football player, I think they are both good people who have done a lot in life; but I mean, come on, this is ridiculous. Im kind of curious to see how this is going to turn out.

Flav is like watching a bad car accident...you want to look away, but some just sucks you in.
TO is the worst example of a team sports pro athlete. He sucks.
