ø ø ø Cane TV Show Full Episodes Online ø ø ø
UPDATE: CBS FINALLY PUT A FULL, FREE EPISODE OF CANE ON THEIR SITE TO WATCH ONLINE. CANE 106: A NEW LEGACY IS ONLINE TO WATCH NOW, FULL VIDEO!
I was all excited to write about Cane, a new CBS drama, but when I went to their site and clicked on “Watch Video” to check for full episodes online — I didn’t see them up yet, only behind the scenes clips and such about the Duque Rum empire and club…
Watching the pilot episode of Cane on TV last night brought me back to the days of my youth when my GranRuby would hand me and my sister real sugar canes to suck on. I can still taste the not-too-sweet flavor and feel the grainy white inside of the stalks in my mouth’s memory.
And then there were those scenes of the Florida groves, which reminded me of my days traveling from Tallahassee down to Orlando, when an ex-boyfriend stopped the car in an isolated orange grove and pulled a piece of low-hanging fruit fresh from the tree for me — then darted back to the car quickly before he got shot or bitten by a German Shepherd guard dog.
AOL Video does have a three-minute video clip of the Cane TV show online to view when you click on “Watch Clip”…
But hopefully CBS will get smart and put the full episodes of Cane up soon, just like they eventually did when they put up full episodes of Kid Nation after viewer response was so great.
When I checked Amazon, full episodes of the Cane TV show were not up yet.
Neither did iTunes.
Yahoo doesn’t have any Cane episodes up here either…
What’s going on?
Don’t they realize how many Cuban-Americans (… and African-Americans … and all Americans!) want to see this drama online?
They’d better not leave it to these YouTubbers to put up more than the preview episodes of Cane that are online now.
What I learned from watching the CBS drama Cane…
Watching the full and fascinating pilot episode of Cane last night was good for me — though my eyes were nearly closing from sleepiness.
My interaction with Cuban-Americans was limited to the time I visited Miami, and was confused by people who looked black to me — my friend insists Cubans do have black in them.
True or not, it’s a good thing I’m learning more about their culture and history. Last night I actually asked myself: Do Cubans speak Spanish?
Turns out they do, as witnessed by the Spanish dialogue coupled with English subtitles — Cane even used SAP to simulcast all-Spanish episodes of Cane on Azteca America.
So though Cane contains a bit of a dark storyline that involved kidnapping, bitter family rivalry and murder, Cane might find its way onto my big screen again. It hasn’t quite made it into the “Season Pass” slot of my TiVo yet, but it does have me lusting after some of that “Cafe Cubano” they were sucking down out of Espresso cups…

The writer of this post shouldn’t be questioning whether there are Cubans of African descent living in this world. They do. Just visit Miami or any town in Cuba.
It’s called the slave trade.

Just to clarify, the slave trade resulted in African people taken to, you name it, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Brazil, Venezuela and so on.

Thank you Truth Ruth for stating the truth regarding my culture. Quite frankly I can’t believe some people still don’t know if our primary language is Spanish. As far as our looks go, we come in different shades of yes……..white (European) olive skin (mixed European with Africans and Indians) and black. I for example have light olive skin with light green eyes. Most people can’t tell where I’m from and are usually shocked when I tell them. Most believe we are all black because of the pictures they see of Cuba today.
