12803358, Trailer for ABC's "Uncle Buck" starring Mike Epps & Nia Long Posted by b.Touch, Wed May-13-15 05:56 AM
It's not on the fall schedule, so it seems to be being held either until midseason or to slide in if one of these other shows don't work out.

12803403, An "Uncle Buck" sitcom is not art. Posted by b.Touch, Wed May-13-15 07:44 AM
It's meant to be pure family-accessible entertainment.
Quality aside, surely we're not going to get high and mighty about movies being adapted into TV shows? Not at this late a date?
|
12803410, It's all art to me. Posted by Monkey Genius, Wed May-13-15 08:00 AM
Good art. Bad art. High art. Low art.
|
12803445, To me, some of it is art, some of it is product, Posted by b.Touch, Wed May-13-15 08:24 AM
and much of it falls in-between.
Seeing how some of this sausage is pressed, cooked, packaged, and sold can make you real cynical about how much some of these productions are primarily creative endeavors versus merely slot-fillers on production schedules.
Plus, narrative film and TV productions are heavily reliant upon audience tastes, and many of these productions are focus-tested and previewed to death, that often leads to execs demanding creatively bankrupt but financially sound decisions (cutting the ballad from Disney's "Pocahontas", trying somehow to make "Dreamgirls" less of a musical in post, cutting the entire final half hour out of "Little Shop of Horrors")
|
12803412, If this was a funny preview of a show called Bad Uncle... Posted by Monkey Genius, Wed May-13-15 08:02 AM
...nobody'd be complaining bout originality. They'd be saying, 'Can't wait!'
'Originality' only comes up when it's some shit we just don't like.
|
12803402, There's at least half a dozen original ideas on ABC's fall schedule Posted by b.Touch, Wed May-13-15 07:42 AM
And then there's this one and a show based on David and Saul from the Bible.
How does that translate into "no original ideas"?

If they throwing it away anyway....
|
12803448, most network comedies are fairly tame. Posted by b.Touch, Wed May-13-15 08:26 AM
That's why I was surprised people were so scared of "black-ish". Shouldn't they have known it was going to end up being a family-friendly, fluffy-bunny sitcom (albeit a good one) like all the rest?
I mean, it's made by Disney, for Christ's sake!

12803457, This one was mostly funny to me outside of Loretta. Posted by Monkey Genius, Wed May-13-15 08:39 AM
Whatever Loretta's doing there is cringeworthy.
But maybe I just like DAG and Jerrod and *want* it to be funny.

12803482, I would joke that she saw her play-rival Jenifer Lewis on black-ish Posted by b.Touch, Wed May-13-15 09:01 AM

But...
I did some digging, and this pilot is apparently a year old. It missed being greenlit last year.

12804623, Yo. There's an inexhaustible supply of good black kid actors Posted by Doronmonkflake, Wed May-13-15 10:33 PM
Like there obviously was throughout history. But how many have we never seen because of the essential 18 year Black-out (see what I did there?) between In the House and Blackish?
It's like TV forgot the selling power of Urkle and Olivia.

12804677, They worked on WB, UPN, CW, Disney, Nick, Posted by b.Touch, Thu May-14-15 12:34 AM
and TBS shows.
|
12804680, First, I spelled Urkel wrong (shame) second, Posted by Doronmonkflake, Thu May-14-15 12:42 AM
Zoe from Black-ish came onto my radar last year sometime. We watched this movie called Butter on Netflix out of love for Phil Dunphy (Ty Burrell for Plastic Man 2019!!!) and they had this precocious tiny Black girl in it and we cried and cried. She was an orphan and a genius butter sculptor with the dream of making a butter likeness of her late mother for the Ohio State Fair.
So that made us watch Black-ish in the first place. It's super weird how some Black actors appear on the scene and murder a role and subsequently have difficulty finding anything comparable. So I'm very happy one of the Tyler Perry kids is on Disney (right? ANT Farm?) and these kids are prolly gonna surf this new wave Empire and Black-ish are pushin, but somebody needs to figure out what to do with Hush Puppy. Cause Annie was no bueno. And that kid is an incredible actress.
|
12804695, simple. Put Quavezhene in pictures that don't involve singing. Posted by b.Touch, Thu May-14-15 04:58 AM
Granted, few people in the new "Annie" could genuinely sing, which is a bigger problem, but when the lead child actress cannot sing those notes in "Tomorrow", we have a problem.
That's like casting Ciara as Effie White in "Dreamgirls".
