Prepare to meet The Flintstones all over again. Warner Bros. Animation is working with Elizabeth Banks’ Brownstone Productions on an adult-skewing primetime animated comedy based on the classic cartoon series, TVLine’s sister publication Varietyreports.

I watched the first episode of family reunion



its a fake black-ish without the real connections...

the dad played pro sports.... doesn't have the blackish struggle of working up the ladder ...

edit: oh .. he played football in real life (only 3 seasons), retired then went to acting since '09..

I watch a few more episodes and see... season one has 20 broken into 2 parts @ 10 eps each


so I'm 8 episodes in on the 10...

it's basically a PC black-ish which is ironic cause its a Netflix original... Black-ish on ABC takes way more risks with the storylines.. this show plants the seed but don't follow through with the controversy.. they take the easy way out

Per Showtime’s official synopsis, the 1992-set series “follows Krystal Stubbs (Dunst), a minimum-wage water park employee who lies, schemes and cons her way up the ranks of Founders American Merchandise (FAM) — the cultish, flag-waving, multibillion-dollar pyramid scheme that drove her to ruin in the first place, run by the powerful Obie Garbeau II (Ted Levine). Determined to make a better life for herself, Krystal dives deep into FAM and develops a tangled relationship with FAM’s most loyal and fanatical follower Cody (Theodore Pellerin), until her business begins to affect those closest to her, including Ernie (Mel Rodriguez), her affable water park boss, and his FAM-skeptic wife Bets (Beth Ditto).”
