FOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH, AN ALTERNATE TOOBWORLD



From Wikipedia:
'The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer' was an American sitcom that aired on UPN in 1998. Before it was even debuted, the series set off a storm of controversy because of a perceived light-hearted take on the issue of American slavery:  


A black English nobleman named Desmond Pfeiffer, chased out of England due to gambling debts, becomes President Abraham Lincoln's valet. In the show, he serves as the intelligent and erudite backbone of a Civil War-era White House populated by louts and drunkards. 


In 2002, TV Guide listed the show as the eleventh-worst TV series ever, and in 2010 TV Guide Network listed the show at #15 on their list of 25 Biggest TV Blunders.

O'BSERVATION:
This show doesn't taint Earth Prime-Time.  It took place in the alternate TV dimension of Doofus Toobworld with other TV series which featured characters, some even historical, of a low IQ - like 'That's My Bush!' and 'The President Show'.

BCnU!
