TV alert: Uncle Jesse?!

Post-Oscar comments another time, I hope, but tonight is the TV movie Raisin in the Sun, one of the most depressing plays ever written, about an aspiring African American family limited by poverty and discrimination. It stars Diddy, who I'm told is quite good, as well as the stalwart Phylicia Rashad, Audra MacDonald, and David Oyelowo. And... John Stamos. I thought I had gone temporarily blind from my new eyeglasses, but no, he's in it, as the president of the local homeowner's association. Good for him, I guess, but I think the cognitive dissonance of seeing Uncle Jesse in a Lorraine Hansberry play is going to make my head explode.
