ABC's upcoming sitcom: "Black-ish"

[Swagnificent]

All parties involved just have to know this has ZERO chance of staying on the air...like i don't see how this avoids a mid-season cancellation unless they have a player ass time slot...it's fukked up too because that's a pretty star studded cast for a black tv show and i've been fukking with fishbourne since he was Dap in school days...don't see why him and anthony anderson would throw their name behind what would seem to be a fairly obvious failure...I could be wrong but it's tough getting non black demos to watch black shows and I just don't see this turning into event television for black folks...but i guess we'll see

true. but i'll still watch. gotta support our own.

 

[NZA]

i couldnt finish the video. it even looks like it was shot on the cheap. im not even mad at the cast, they are so desperate for work they will do anything

 

[JLaw]

damn, Larry Fishburne

 

[marcuz]

show with 4 kids = they know it aint going pass season 1

 

[LA Fisher]

shyt looks funny as fukk. a black father trying to save his children from white supremacy

 

[marcuz]

fukk it, going to watch it. wanna see the themes they touch on. i already see they're aiming directly at the lack of structure and community amongst blacks.

but this ole @kermit da hustla nikka probably gon have me rollin :kermit:

 

[Still Benefited]

Outside of the name I don't see what the big deal is

Some of y'all nikka hate just because, at least give some reasons why

Maybe I just don't watch enuff TV but it seem like we got too many shows where nikkas in the suburbs,succesful...And believe me I hate saying that cuz it might sound bad but I don't give a shyt...Whats wrong with shows where nikkas just posted up in the hood,regular azz highschool graduates/GED recepients with regular azz jobs....Where nikkas facing harsh realites....But that's not the main focus of the show and the humor not watered down so not to scare away whites who might wanna tune in....it seem like the focus now from what I seen is either "ooooh im so hood,look how hood I am yall" comedy, or "Look were lawyers,doctors,breaking all the stereotypes you used to see on tv" comedys....but u cant win for losing,if the show was about a family in the projects alotta these nikkas that's scared white people might be watching would cry about how its c00nin to show black people working minimum wage jobs on tv and not being stressed out about it...ill probably check it out,if its funny its funny.

 

[marcuz]

i'd beat my kewn sons ass several times over if he asked me for a goddamn bar mitzvah

 

[winb83]

If it makes it two seasons then I'll start watching. I doubt this makes it one.

& @ the bolded

How about we just support our people instead nitpicking and looking for reasons to hate

Let some white boy make a stereotypical show about nikkas in the hood selling drugs, killing other nikka, etc and y'all would be all in but black people make a show and of course y'all hate it without even giving it a shot SMH

 

[Real]

Jesus. Can yall nikkas take a fukking joke?

It's a sitcom...it's a fukking comedy.

 

[Owen Reece]

Successful Black father, who's happily married to his black wife, trying to get his kids to not forget where they come from. Also, old school black grandpa is around.

The kids don't have crack head ass parents like Bernie Macs show and the father can actually read unlike DLs show.

I'm a fan of black fatherhood, so I'm giving this a chance.

Edit:

And...it's a comedy. Relax.

 

[KiD WavE]

Wasn't DL Hughley's show pretty much the same thing? Black dude moves his family to the almost all white suburbs and then "hilarity" ensues?

so basically the Boondocks ?

 

[Real]

Larry Fishburne is 52, Anthony Anderson is 43, good casting there.


Looks like the Modern Family writers decided to try their hand at a black sitcom

Age thing really aint that big of a deal. In real life, Claire Huxtable is only 9 years older than Sandra.
