NEWS FLASH

‘Up All Night’ Gets A Full Season from NBC | I’m happy to hear this, and totally fine with the news that Whitney‘s getting a full season, too. Neither of these shows are perfect, though I thought both improved with subsequent episodes. But that the shows that NBC is picking up are about a) a mother who works while her husband stays home with their baby and b) a long-term couple, neither of whom is desperate to get married, is a good thing. Diversity comes in a lot of forms. The kinds of relationships and family arrangements we see reflected in mass media is one of them. Nice to see NBC investing in that. Now if only they could find some stories to tell about people of color.
