Al
Sharpton still wants to be president, so starring in a sitcom probably isn't a great idea. Or, is it? At least, he
doesn't seem to think so. He's putting to rest rumors that he is going to be in a new CBS sitcom called Al in
the Family, which was going to focus on what Al Sharpton is best at: being Al Sharpton. It's not like Al hasn't
been on television before (other than presidential debates), he had guest appearances on Boston Public and
My Wife and Kids. Of course, Rev. Sharpton gave a great quote about why he won't be doing a sitcom, "I'm
not interested in being Archie Bunker, I'm looking forward to becoming George Bush." That sounds like an
announcement that he's running in 2008, doesn't it?No sitcom for Sharpton after all

Even though, i almost never agree with anything The Rev. says, He is one of my favorite public figures. He always entertains, and makes me think about opposing points of view. I had hopes that his show could have been a great sitcom, with a social agenda. Those shows don't really exist anymore. Shows like all in the family or the smothers brothers would make people laugh and think in a socially aware manner (I have heard, I am too young to have seen them). I wish Mr. Sharpton luck with his future ambitions.
