Andre Johnson has a great job, a beautiful wife, Rainbow, four kids, and a colonial home in the 'burbs. But has success brought too much assimilation for this black family? With a little help from his dad, Dre sets out to establish a sense of cultural identity for his family that honors their past while embracing the future.I can say that this will be the first network comedy I'll be tuning into in years. The previews look hilarious. Take a look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbP43XY1dN4" rel="nofollow - video1 http://shine.forharriet.com/2014/05/black-ish-starring-tracee-ellis-ross-is.html |

God I miss 90s sitcoms. Fresh Prince, Parent Hood, etc. They didn't have to try the shows were relatable yet funny. Now shows just try.....so hard to be funny. *sigh* If I watched it would only be to watch Lawrence and Tracy....Anthony go too serious so his "funny" doesn't seem genuine anymore and the kids are annoying.

| I don't like the name. Not too keen on the concept either. I think some of the episodes would be repetitive. I just watched the trailer on youtube and feel like I've seen the whole season. I didn't find it funny either. Then again, I don't find many of the comedies showing on tv these days funny. :/ |

Interesting. a couple positives: • nice to see something a little more positive and not RHOA ratchet • Its cool that its on ABC • Tyler Perry doesn't appear to be involved Will it be funny? I don't know but I wasn't digging the Game like that either but I like that show a lot now.

Seems like tumblr wrote the spec for this. A lighthearted comedy where a charismatic cast of non-threatening black people ponder what it means to be black in a supposed post-racial America. I see the subtext all around this. I'll watch. I love the leads. |

I wasn't feeling the title Orange Is The New Black. Almost wrote the show off by the title alone. |
