Save for Happy Endings, the post Modern Family slot hasn't been kind. I get why they moved it to Tuesdays because they believed that the show could've been a draw on it's own, but they were obviously wrong. I think Black-Ish a one and done but we can hope that Fishburne fans and fans of Girlfriends show up because Anthony Anderson isn't a draw.

Cats do understand the show is called black-ish because it's about a successful black man who lives in a very suburban part of Cali (I think) feeling like his family is losing sight of their cultural roots. As we move further and further away from the civil rights era, there are a whole generation of kids who don't have a clear understanding of their culture or history and being black in America is something that is constantly redefined decade after decade

My issue is why can't that just be apart of the show rather than the entire basis of the show? You can address that issue as well as many other issues of race without making the entire show about it just like Cosby and Different World and the Jeffersons did. Having a title like "Black-ish" only demeans the message and makes it into one big joke. In the commercials you got this dude doing African ritual and blowing some shyt in his sons face :what:. I am not gonna judge it without actually watching a couple of episodes first (purely off the strength of Fishburne, Anderson, and Ross) but that title and some of the stuff in the previews are dubious to say the least.
