I figure that Black-ish can probably get a good 3 seasons in the can before cancellation just like Suburgatory was able to do.
So when does Black-ish get cancelled?
- Thread starter labrokejames
- Start date
I predict that by the third episode Black-ish will settle into a standard family sitcom format and the racial stuff will be completely toned down.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. 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.
Cougar Town stuck with it's stupid name and it is in year 5 or something I think.But it will still be called "Black-ish".
Changing the name would kill it quicker than anything else.
Point is when you name your show "Black-ish" you pigeon hole yourself into the racial shyt no matter what you do with the show. I just think it's unfortunate that in 2014 that people on the level of a Larry Fishburne felt that it was necessary to even take it there. Now I am hoping that I am wrong and this show turns out to be Cosby meets Sanford and Son and Martin but it's hard to get around that title.

Show looks like trash but so do most network sit coms.
You know the funny thing tho? Cacs won't watch it since it's a "black show" while complaining that there are no "white shows" ....nevermind that MOST sit coms today don't have a single Black or Hispanic person. My c00n brother watches How I Met Your Mother and that show don't even have black extras walking around in whatever major city the show is set in.

i can imagine how you feel, i look at white dudes who watch that shyt sideways
I stopped driving him places after I overheard him talking to his white friends about the hottest chicks on TV. His CAC friends were naming black and Hispanic chicks like Kerry Washington, Melisandre on Game of Thrones and that latina MILF on Modern Family while my FLESH AND BLOOD black brother was like "nah they aren't nearly as hot as [insert generic white chick on TV]." This nikka wanna argue that skinny bytch on Scrubs is hotter than Melisandre.
You shoulda saw his face brehs. He asked for a ride to work and I was like nah, I don't chauffer c00ns.
this would be for the best IMO. The race jokes I've seen in previews for this look like they can real old quick.

I agree the title could be better but I'm down with the premise of the show.

nikka WHAT???!!!EDIT:
I just remembered that she was really pretty the first couple seasons of "Scrubs". Than in the 3rd season, she got a makeover for the rest of series that made her less pretty.
Maybe when he said that shyt, he basing that off of watching the first couple seasons of "Scrubs".
and it's gonna be on after Modern Family. is that a good or bad thing?
good because they can possibly get some of those viewers, or bad because they'll have to live up to the standard of being the "black version of Modern Family"?
i'm gonna watch because i hope it does well, i hope it can be the new My Wife & Kids, and because i still love Tracee Ellis Ross regardless of her age. Her brain, her hair, her skin, her length, her ass.
