Lurkette hits it right on the head. It's going to take time. Look at the OTHER shows besides the ones that are "hit sitcoms" like Friends, Frasier, King of Queens, and you'll see a rich diverse group, CSI, NYPD Blue, West Wing, 24.

Riddle me this... if you are doing a show about a black family or white family, how do you interject other races without them being stereotypical roles such as bus boys, delivery guys, laborers?
And they won't.. someone has the seed money and controls the airwaves themselves... the diversity is the content, still the "man" will hold the transmission lines. That's why the bill with the FCC and media ownership is really a big big deal.
I do get what you are saying I was looking at the billboard advert for COUPLING and my wife and I commented on the lack of color.
