Talk:Joya's Fun School

Race

Even if the host of the show was African-American I don't find it necessary or appropriate to describe the show as "an African-American children's series" any more so than The Cosby Show was an African-American sitcom or the remake of Taking of Pelham 123 as an African-American action film.

I think this comment has merit. The article does note further on the historical importance of its being the first children's TV show to be hosted by an African-American woman. I've edited the first sentence. Rfontana (talk) 02:00, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
