Before streaming fragmented audiences and algorithms dictated what we watched, Black television helped shape culture in real time.

This week on Cool Theory, we're discussing the creators, networks and shows that defined an era. From Martin, Living Single and A Different World to Moesha, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and In Living Color. 

We talk about how Black audiences helped build networks like Fox and UPN, the creative architects behind some of television's most important shows, and what was gained and lost when "urban" programming stopped being a central part of the conversation.
