POPSTV Show seeks to Humanize Arab-Israelis More: But "Arab Work" is more than a wacky sitcom about life for the Arab minority in Israel. It's a risky attempt to use slapstick humor to lampoon both sides in this deadly, divisive arena. "It's not perfect, but under the right circumstances it can be for Israeli-Arabs what 'The Cosby Show' was for blacks in America," said Vered Livne, the executive director of Agenda, an Israeli media strategy firm. "It has a chance to lower the barriers that Israeli Jews put up when they hear an Arab voice." Recent studies have found that discrimination against Arab-Israelis is on the rise. In one poll, 60 percent of Jewish Israelis said they felt hatred or hostility when they heard someone speaking Arabic. Three-quarters said they wouldn't live in the same buildings with Arabs. More than half said Arabs and Jews should be separated in places of entertainment.

POPSOprah goes Bill Cosby on America My favorite quite from the article: "Bill Cosby, who sparked a backlash from some quarters for lashing out at parents who provide their kids with overpriced gym shoes instead of assistance with their homework."

POPSNBC brings back "Must See TV"- comedy's back? I don't watch any of these shows, yet I really do like a good comedy- i used to watch earl, but the concept got a bit repetitive i thought. Anyway, go NBC for bringing back a comedy night- hopefully it will continue- it's nice not having reality tv rule the airwaves.
