Beyonce may have rocked Coachella in 2018 when she turned her headlining show at that festival into a tribute to Historically Black Colleges and Universities, complete with full marching band. But lots of other people had already known all about the remarkable musical tradition, and particularly the marching band tradition, at HBCUs – and the makers of “March,” a documentary series produced by Stage 13 and airing on the CW, were definitely among those in the know.
“In 2015, 2016 (we made) a series about an amazing marching band at Bethune-Cookman University in Central Florida … and we became obsessed with this world,” “March” executive producer and Stage 13 head of unscripted Sheri Scorca told awards editor Steve Pond at a virtual screening as part of TheWrap’s 2022 Awards Season Screening Series. “You start going down rabbit holes where you watch all the different bands online … And then in 2019, right before everything shut down, we went...

Well, it’s what we’ve All been waiting for isn’t it? What would Tyler Perry say or do about that recent Boondocks episode skewering him and his work? Well according to the Carlton Jordan blog, Tp is not too pleased with it. In fact, according to the blog, the episode:
“… hit a deep nerve with the mogul. Our source claims he’s paranoid and believes it was an inside job – based on the show’s accuracy!!!
And furthermore it says that Perry:”…is giving pink slips to his entire staff [not the shirtless boy wonders of course] starting Friday – – he wants to control any leaks of information about ”the compound! So apparently the information in the Boondock’s episode had some truth to it, and only could’ve been leaked by someone that works at the studio.”
Like I said in my comments about the show, it seemed too real, too much like a documentary to be just satire…...
