"Have we discussed Black-ish?"


  

          

http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5330293

Anthony Anderson, Tracee Ellis Ross and Lawrence fishburne. The cast alone is compelling me to time in. But it looks funny and the subject matter appeals to my suburban-raised blackishness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Green Mile is a movie where the magical black man wrongly dies and the white man who let it happen lives forever.

Sep 25th 2014
65
      haha, oh ok. i thought you were saying the name of the show
Sep 25th 2014
69
      It was called "Pilot".
Sep 25th 2014
71
the title sucks.
Sep 25th 2014

Just fucking awful
Sep 24th 2014
51
Yeah this was really bad. TER basically playing the same role she
Sep 24th 2014
52
This actually highlights TER's shortcomings for me.....
Sep 25th 2014
58
at this point, TER is more of a personality
Sep 25th 2014
79
when i watched it a couple of weeks ago i felt the same
Sep 25th 2014

I don't really like how "accessible" we as a people have become
Sep 25th 2014
56
I doubt this show will touch on all of our nuances
Sep 25th 2014

i especially loved the part when they talked about obama
Sep 25th 2014

I didn't LOVE it but I love where it could go...
Sep 25th 2014
82
in what way did it push the envelope?
Sep 25th 2014
84
I think it's moreso about the kids not seeing color
Sep 25th 2014
87
i dont see that as the concept
Sep 25th 2014
89
      I laughed hard as fuck at that line...
Sep 25th 2014
90
      to clarify, when I said escape their blackness
Sep 25th 2014

Big ratings for the premiere (swipe)
Sep 25th 2014
85
nice... I think Fishburne definitely helped the ratings.
Sep 25th 2014
88
which may be an issue b/c his character is only recurring
Sep 25th 2014
103
good for them....i knew someone would bring up the lead in
Sep 25th 2014
97
nice.
Sep 25th 2014

Gimmie 30 minutes and I'll tell you what I think.
Sep 25th 2014

I give it a solid C, which is decent for a pilot.
Sep 25th 2014
95
just watched the pilot here at work. it was ok. i'll watch again to see ...
Sep 25th 2014

Previews look corny as all hell....doesn't look like it's for me
Sep 25th 2014

Could do with a little more nuance...

Larry Wilmore is enough
Sep 25th 2014
