Un tocco di genio

I remember the NAACP threatening to boycott the network if they continued to air this garbage. There was such a lack of diversity on TV at the time and the thought of a grown black man calling a white man "master" was just too much for many African Americans. I remember T K Carter responding to the cancellation of the show and the uproar by the NAACP over the shows controversy theme. He stated "nobody asked me how I felt". He seemed hurt that no one, especially a black organization, didn't bother to ask his opinion. But critics agreed the show was unfunny and juvenile at best. It could have possible worked on Saturday morning TV if the network had casted a white actor in the genie role. The earlier poster stated he was 7 at the time of the airing of this show. You would have had to have the mindset of a 7 year old to have like this show.
