Welcome to Retro Rewind, the TGJ original feature carved out to celebrate TV and Film’s glorious past.

Today, we revisit Disney’s hit African-American show ‘Smart Guy’ starring Tahj Mowry. As his older sisters Tia and Tamera soared on Nickelodeon with ‘Sister Sister’ Tahj carved out a ratings-pulling lane for himself with the comedy which saw him play the powerful and precocious T.J Henderson.

After ordering a seven-episode run for its first season, Disney upped its order to 22 episodes per season after watching Tahj and his comedic co-stars push viewing figures to astronomical heights!

LeVar Burton, the star of Alex Haley‘s ‘Roots’, has revealed that he believes Kanye West‘s views on African-American chattel slavery are fuelled by a chemical imbalance.

West surprised his fans (and pleased Far Right groups) when he argued that enslaved Africans must have chosen to remain in the horrific conditions they were forced into by Europeans for 400 years.

Of course, this struck Burton who has fought to educate the masses on the true nature of chattel slavery through art and activism.

The highly anticipated, reimagined take on the classic fairy tale ‘Robin Hood’ saw its trailer hit the net recently.  And, if the critical response is anything to go by, that anticipation has only increased.

Directed by Otto Bathurst, the film – set to hit theaters on November 21 – stars Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx and ‘Kingsman’ star Taron Egerton as the titular character.  Taking to press, Egerton shared:

“It is an origins film,” he explained. “In our version, we see him as a young man who is disillusioned. He’s fighting in the Crusades and he’s actually fighting for the bad guys and doesn’t realize, and he comes back and his eyes are opened, partly through Little John’s [portrayed by Foxx] intervention.”

Fortunately, Marvel is in a generous mood this week and has decided to celebrate the success of the project and its ‘Infinity War’ spectacle by releasing two deleted scenes!
