Dear Creators of the High School Musical movies,

My name is Andre, but many people know me as “Black Nerd” online. I want to congratulate you on a wonderfully successful franchise.

Even as a grown adult, I can enjoy the wild and wacky adventures of Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay, Ryan, Chad, and the black girl.

It’s wonderful. It’s like watching a song-and-dance version of Saved by the Bell. They also had a black girl.

As I now come home from watching your crowning achievement that is High School Musical 3: Senior Year, I say kudos once again to a job well done.

The drama. The laughs. The spectacle. The in-movie final curtain call. Stupendous.

You made a wonderful ending. Which is why I ask the following request…

DON’T MAKE ANY MORE HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL MOVIES!

You’ve got Camp Rock now. You’ve got the Jonas Brothers. And I bet money that right now in the Disney Channel lab, an album is brewing for the Mexican chick who plays an Indian on Cory in the House.

So I implore you. You made a nice trilogy here. Don’t continue it.

Here’s why I make this request: As much as I love HSM3 (as the cool kids call it), I couldn’t help but notice you introducing some new characters.

A moppet who’s a younger, goofier Zac Efron. A young girl who’s basically Sharpay (making her British doesn’t change that fact). A black kid like Corbin Bleu with less poofy hair. No black girl.

I know what you’re trying to do here. But getting back to my Saved by the Bell references, need I remind you of Saved by the Bell: The New Class.

It seemed like a good idea at a time. Oh, I’m sure it did. But it sucked. It sucked big time. And bringing back Screech didn’t help.

So making High School Musical 4: The New Class with cameo appearances from Ashley Tisdale or the black girl will not make this franchise grow. It will sink. Just like Saved by the Bell: The New Class.

And Saved by the Bell: The College Years. And don’t even get me started on USA High.

So congratulate yourself on this franchise having a nice run, like Scream or The Matrix or 3 Ninjas. But now, it’s time to let sleeping dogs lie. Like Beverly Hills Chihuahua. But that’s another open letter.

Oh, and since the franchise is over, if the black girl has some free time, have her call me.

I thought her next big thing would be doing Dancing with the Stars, but I hear she’s already done that. So I’m guessing she’s free. Again, have her call me. I like her face.

Thank you, High School Musical. You have entertained many children, teens… and a grown man who still hasn’t grown up so much, that he’d rather watch The Suite Life on Deck than boobies on BET rap videos.

We’re all in this together. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Black Nerd
