This is disappointing. Maybe I should be changing my concentration from media criticism to media production. :-/
Info from the Director's Guild of America.
Devoid of diversity
The DGA singled out six shows as hiring no women or minority directors -- "Friends," "Everybody Loves Raymond," "Navy NCIS," "Becker," "Less Than Perfect" and "Malcolm in the Middle."
Nine more shows hired no women directors -- "CSI," "Without a Trace," "Law & Order: SVU," "JAG," "Yes, Dear," "24," "According to Jim," "The District" and "Good Morning, Miami." And four did not use any minority directors -- "Law and Order," 'Two and a Half Men," "Judging Amy" and "8 Simple Rules."
The DGA also singled out "Everybody Loves Raymond," "Friends" and "JAG" for never hiring a women director over the last four seasons and "Malcolm in the Middle" and "Judging Amy" for not hiring minority directors during that time.
