Insecure and black•ish are GOAT black TV shows...

[vino]

Blackish was top notch and the ending was perfect.

Insecure was great too but I didn’t really like the ending too much.

 

[Canada Goose]

Black-ish just aired in the wrong era where people are snobby towards Network TV shows so it kinda got overlooked. If the show aired in the 90s or early 2000s it would probably be a lot more popular with the Black community.



I loved Black-ish and enjoyed watching it I haven't seen a episode since the show was still on the air though. The work table scenes where Dre and Deon Cole was chopping it up with their white co-workers were funny as hell

Never really seen Blackish. Maybe an episode or 2.

Insecure was good though and re-watchable

I've only seen 2 or 3 episodes of Black-ish and seen 2 seasons of insecure. I'll say, from what I've seen, both shows writing are more realistic than a lot of black shows from the past that we prop up ....

 

[DJSmooth]

The first few seasons of Insecure is some of the best TV and Black TV i've ever seen.

 

[Yaddam Yussein]

I agree

 

[OaklandCertified]

Insecure is one of the best shows I've ever watched.

Blackish is up there. But GOAT status is not an easy level to reach

Show some respect for the OGs

GOAT? nikka new shyt

 

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

I agree

Neither one of those shows are in the GOAT conversation. Not for plot, or impact, or trailblazing, or innovation.

Insecure is the equivalent of Eddie George RB career. He was a really good RB, but he aint Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, or even Derrick Henry.

Hell nah. Here we go, tell me what the GOAT-tier black sitcoms are, and what made them that to you...

You cant really omit Insecure and black•ish from that GOAT tier. They were absolutely innovative in an era (mid-to-late 2010s) where there wasn't a ton of black-themed television, its not like the watered down 90s that had 1000 black shows that all you nighas gas up...

And the plot lines weren't fantastic? black•ish was a well-to-do suburban black family finding their footing in white society...

Let me guess, it was different with overrated ass Cosby Show though, right?

Insecure literally told the story of modern late 20s/early 30s career black singles, and what every day life is like for them. Do not even try to tell me Living Single or Girlfriends told that story better...

Based off the names alone it seemed like new age tomfoolery so I never gave them any play.

You tripping fam, give them a spin. Especially the first several seasons of both, them shyts opened up on legend status...

Blackish and House of Payne are modern day classics

Can't agree on House Of Payne!

This 100,000%!!!

The first few seasons of Insecure is some of the best TV and Black TV i've ever seen.

I agree

Insecure is one of the best shows I've ever watched.

These 3 nikkas here spitting!

What are the GOAT tier black shows, and what made them that?

I'm standing on this. I'm rewatching Insecure now and I'm on Season 2, episode 2. This shyt is just as awesome as it was when it came out, maybe even better. We can put this shyt with any GOAT black show you want, I'm putting it on that level...

While I'm at it, add Black•ish to the GOAT tier of black sitcoms, too. I'm standing on this shyt!

We got 5 years of Insecure, 7½ years of black•ish, and they ran concurrently. Shout out to the 2010s for birthing two of the greatest black shows ever!

Replace Blackish with Abbott Elementary, or even South Side and I agree with you.

Insecure is a modern classic, and damn near pillar of modern black TV. I'm stunned when I think back on the fact they made a predominately black show in a city with more non-black people and whites making up the demo.
