I have to admit, I'm sort of a television nut. Even from the porch I can see into the TV room through the curtains. One of the shows I very much enjoy is the program "Kyle XY", the cross-over from ABC Family to ABC broadcast TV. Combining a lead character with the charm of Starman and the storylines and reality of "Degrassi High", this series is about a young man with no navel and no memory who lands in a high school in present day Washington State. Of course, all the young ladies on the show (and I would imagine, the actor in real life) find him completely irresistable. Plus, each episode has a moral - that's pretty cool.
What I have to admire is the fact that ABC Family has chosen a series that deals rather realistically with issues facing teenagers: like teenage sex, peer pressure, and the transition to adult relationships. So much so that on occasion it leaves even me sorta breathless.
For all that it gets snaps up.
But I've notice something and so have one question.
Is there room for any person of color anywhere, of any type or hue, in this "Kyle XY" world they've created?
Just an observation from the porch.

Farmer Ted, I don't know about persons of color on the show. I can think that far. I'm still worrying about why the poor kid doesn't have a navel.
sign me,
Navel (curious)
