I just saw the new TV show Empire. It was excellent. I love the characters and the theme. I like the fact they have a gay character. It will be interested to see how this plays out.

But, with Terrence Howell as the lead, it is going to be a fun ride. And, with Lee Daniels as the director, wow, how much more do you need for the start of a great show?

is it just me, or did the youngest son really remind me of a black Justin Beiber?

It's brilliant, and I was pleasantly surprised. I'm hooked.

I watched it and liked it. I think the ex wife story line is going to be fantastic.

Just finished watching the pilot. WOW...... Kudos to Fox TV for their progressive modern approach to TV story telling....

This show has everything you could want: Drama, Music, gay Interracial love, str8 interracial love, gorgeous black men, and the Fiercest BITCH to grace the TV screen since Alexis Carrington in Dynasty.... Sorry Viola Davis, you gotta move over, there's a new black Diva in town and her name is Cookie.... Traraji B Henson is a marvel as the black mother with Unconditional love for her GAY son... and she aint here to play.... From her street ghetto attitude to her sharp one liners, she commands the screen and is the perfect counterpart to Lucious' mellow, low key homophobic scion...as played by Terrence Howard.

I smell a hit ! But then again, I LOVED Smash and that show bit the dust.....

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll be watching it.
