Most shows explore diversity through different colored faces or by who is kissing who, but Black-Ish is all about what it means to be Black in modern times.

I'm not going to lie to you, when I heard Anthony Anderson was in this I thought it was going to be trash. If just because I see him as the cheaper Wayne Brady. Though it is mostly because I don't know what his shtick is as a comedian and never found him funny. However, with the inclusion of Laurence Fishburne, who has yet to do me wrong as an actor, and Tracee Ellis Ross, who I haven't seen in a series since Girlfriends, since I ignored the other show she had, I figured they could balance out Anderson, if not make all my worries go away. Read below to see if they did.Characters & StoryAndre Sr. (Anthony Anderson) works in marketing and his wife Rainbow (Tracee Ellis Ross) is a surgeon and they both live in a suburban area of Los Angeles. But, from what it seems, neither one came from an affluent life. Well, at least we know Andre didn't. Either way, with Andre and Rainbow living the American dream of going from poverty to affluence, they are quite proud of themselves. However, with this pride comes a bit of worry for Andre, and his Pops (Laurence Fishburne), notice that Andre's kids aren't Black, but simply Black-ish.To explain, Andre's kids: Andre Jr. (Marcus Scribner); Zoey (Yara Shahidi); and, what I assume are twins, Jack (Miles Brown) and Diane (Marsai Martin) aren't strongly tied to being Black. Partly due to Rainbow trying to raise them to be color blind. However, between Pops and Andre Sr., this is seen as a problem. For with Andre Sr. getting a promotion to be a SVP of his company's Urban Division, then him learning how his kids lack knowledge of, and perhaps perspective, of being Black in America, it sends him into a crisis. One which we only get a taste of in the pilot, but likely will be a repeated issue as Andre seems to deal with culture shock in the form of Blackness, except when it comes to negative stereotypes, becoming mainstream and no longer owned by Black culture.PraiseSince UPN and The WB merged, finding a show with a Black family on network TV has been rare. Especially with them as the stars and not supporting roles. So with this being one of the first in a long time, at least to me, for the show to so directly touch on Black culture was very odd, though interesting. For with topics including racial profiling; appropriation; lack of Black people, or people of color in general, in high rank positions at work; the sense of community people of color make at their jobs; and then with Pops commentary, which makes it seem Fishburne is reprising his role of Furious from Boyz in the Hood, the pilot seems far past being Black- ish. If anything, it shows what being Black means across multiple generations. How with Pops' generation, it was your forced identity and something you learned to take pride in; then with Andre Sr., being Black, like with his dad, was still a forced identity, but one of which while the history was filled with tragedy, as the culture began to really be closely linked with entertainment, and without it being whitewashed, you can see he got his pride like his dad, but through a different avenue; and then there are the kids. Now, admittedly I myself had the perspective when I was 12 or so thinking race didn't matter and I surely didn't think the first way to identify someone was by whether they were Black and White. Since, while older than Andre Sr.'s kids, the idea of everything not being a racial thing isn't new. Especially if you grow up in a suburban area and are shielded from more urban zones. So with seeing Andre's kids not know Obama is the first Black president, get into field hockey, and just want to fit in, I feel torn between understanding them and Andre Sr.'s point of view. Which, all things considered, was a surprising feeling since I didn't expect this show to have any depth at all. I was honestly expecting a Cosby Show knock off since that show keeps getting referred to in Black-ish's advertising.CriticismThe main thing worth critiquing with this show is that it may feel a bit too much when it comes to cultural issues. For while Rainbow speaks for the "Let's be colorblind" or "New Black" community, her voice of opposition is limited and with Anderson being a bit too over the top, like showing the LA Riots during a LA tourism presentation, I can see Anderson's character getting annoying. For he isn't like Pops who just smoothly talks about not understanding the up and coming generation, much less Andre Sr. when it comes to race and culture, Andre Sr. makes his points glaringly obvious to the point you wanna say: "I get it, move on already!"Overall: Stick AroundI won't say this is undoubtedly worth seeing, if just because this show does not feel like it is made for everyone. If anything, I think of this show as an experiment. One which seeks to investigate, as will Fresh Off the Boat and Cristela, whether a network station can showcase an all non-white family, and have a hit on their hands. For with diversity doing well for ABC when it comes to Shonda Rhimes' various productions, and Modern Family, I think they are trying to see if going a step further could make them money for really, as mentioned earlier, finding all Black, never mind all Asian or Latin, family being featured on network TV hasn't happened in years. Never mind all on one station since UPN and The WB merged.

This series might not start off great, but it has certainly won me over. Despite its title, it doesn't make everything about race (in fact deals little with race at all), but instead skillfully and hilariously considers how self-identification and values change trans-generationally. I did not give the show a 10 star rating since it still needs a little work. It's already one of my favorites and I believe it has the potential to be a great family sitcom. I believe the lower rating it has received here has little to do with the quality of the show and more to do with human tendency to categorize and then refuse to see beyond preconceptions.To tell the truth, I had also dismissed 'Black-ish' when I first heard about it, basing this rejection simply on the title and a very cursory glance at reactionary reviews. The racist in me had immediately lumped this show together with the likes of UPN classics 'Moesha' and 'Girlfriends', shows which I never cared much for. I was therefore pleasantly surprised after I watched the first episode on Hulu...and then the second, and then subsequently caught up with all the currently available episodes (seven at the time of this review) within a day.First off, the cast grows on you quickly. Initially, the family seemed a little oddball in how it was put together. But that went away within an episode or two, when the family dynamic was a bit more apparent. The children are adorable and I finally appreciate how beautiful Tracee Ross is (I guess I was previously blinded by my profound crush on Persia White in 'Girlfriends'). Ross' portrayal of her character is refreshingly playful; I wouldn't have known she had it in her. The writers should probably have a consulting doctor, though. It annoys me, how unrealistic the portrayal of her profession is.Anthony Anderson's lead character is not perfect, but is on its way up. The character had started off a little unrefined but I am fully confident the writers will make full use of Anderson's talent as the show progresses. But Laurence Fishburne as "Pops" has to be my favorite casting decision. Hopefully he won't be too busy to stop by every once in a while. Another notable side character that I must mention is Deon Cole's "Charlie". I'll just abbreviate by calling him hilarious.Now, the controversy/hoopla surrounding the show. There are, of course, those who think that the show perpetuates stereotypes about black people, that it demeans them or tries to declare what attributes define "black culture". It doesn't help that even the title of the show brings those thoughts to the forefront of the mind. I'm not black, and therefore cannot say definitively that this show isn't offensive to any specific category of people. But I honestly feel that the writers are trying to do a good thing here. They do more to try to break stereotypes than disseminate them; and they manage to do this, for the most part, in clever ways that don't look too forced. I don't feel like I'm being asked to laugh at caricatures like with other sitcoms.But critics might say, "Why do they even have to broach the subject of race? Why can't they be a successful family which happens to be black?" If the show didn't mention race at all, but instead chronicled the comedic hijinks of an affluent family (which happens to be black), and had a completely innocuous title, there would be critics up in arms about the show being ashamed/afraid of celebrating black culture. I don't think 'The Cosby Show' or 'Family Matters' work as rebuttals to that argument – those were products of a different era, one before the fracturing of network television and before relegation of "black interest" shows to pigeonholed networks.Anyway, you can't please everybody. I'm happy to say that this show pleases me. The show makes me reflect on how my cultural and racial identity has shaped how I perceive myself and others. It definitely makes me think about how my upbringing and self-identity differs from that of my parents, and how my children's upbringing and self-identity will certainly differ from my own. So please don't put this show into a tiny box. It's not just for black people, or just for racist people, or just for poor people. If you give it a chance, I'm certain you will see its appeal.

After all these years, it is nice to see a TV network finally go forward and present a show like this. As a "white" American male, it was really hard for me to relate to the plight of the upper class African American male in 21st Century society. I didn't realize how hard he had it working at a large advertising firm in a big city and living in what appeared to be an upper middle class neighborhood.Don't believe the shows that have lied to you over the years like "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air," "The Cosby Show" and "Family Matters" that showed African American families in "normal" situations that had nothing to do with their racial background. I mean, it's crazy to think that Uncle Phil or Dr. Huxtable or Carl Winslow ignored all of the discrimination coming their way all of those years of the show and instead tried to be positive, fatherly role models to the kids they were raising. The fact that each of the wives in each show were mostly ignorant of how insensitive, micro-aggressive and hostile white people are to African Americans says a lot of the ignorance of the writers, producers and performers in those three shows.Listen, man, Dr. Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech is so 20th Century. It's time for us to embrace the plight of the upper middle-class black man in the 21st Century.For the record, I did watch the pilot and I found it refreshing that every scene and every bit of dialogue somehow found its way to back to the issues of race. And when I say "every," I mean, EVERY. That's quite the feat! If this is the premise of the series, I ask you dear viewer, how could this not get old after 4 or 5 seasons!?! I have no idea either.Whether it was from the talented and funny Anthony Anderson or the legendary Lawrence Fishburne, who plays the father, the viewer will be treated to an eclectic array of viewpoints about being black and how the "white man" is keeping them down in their upper class neighborhood. I mean can you believe that there are African American men who can actually walk around in our society without a chip on their shoulder from the "white man's" oppression? I have a hard time believing it too after watching the pilot.Can't wait for the next episode! I feel like ABC put race relations into some sort of hyperspace chamber and moved them forward 100 million light years.Even though I'm heterosexual, I hope ABC follows this up with a series called "Gay-ish" where every single scene and bit of dialogue can tie itself back to how straight people keep those of the LBGT community down. Bravo in advance, ABC!!! If I could give 11 out of 10 stars for what you've accomplished, I would.

This is a great show, but misunderstood by some. Hence the title of my review: It's the sound of the premise of the show going over so many heads.First things first, the title is unfortunate. I get it; it's a joke. Many other people get it, too. However, so many of us in the Information Age seem to judge a book by its cover. The title implies that it's about people who are "not really black." This is not really the case, as the title itself is its own social commentary, pointing out one of the ongoing trends in American society that people feel that their race should dictate the way they conduct themselves.The pilot contained many racial stereotypes, and many people found it off-putting. That would be understandable if it were the show's intent. This show is NOT instructing black people to act in a certain way. In fact, it's trying to tell people that they do not need to live their lives a certain way because of their ethnicity. At the end of the episode, the main character realizes he is wrong about enforcing racial stereotypes.After the first episode, the show just gets funnier. Not many television shows can make me laugh out loud, but this one succeeds repeatedly. I haven't experienced anything like that since the early episodes of "Big Bang Theory." The cast is great. In the pilot, their chemistry wasn't really there yet but by the third episode, I feel like they came together quite nicely. The awkwardness of "the sex talk," the teenage angst, and the gentle jabs between husband and wife were very relatable.I will continue to watch this show as long as it delivers the laughs. I'm not sure why it has to be classified as a "black comedy" but just as a sitcom, like Family Matters and the Fresh Prince. I find Tyler Perry's tropes much more offensive (and un-funny) than anything I've seen so far on Blackish.Bottom line is this: Give the show a chance. Know that this is a show mocking some of the dumb (read: harmful) things in our culture, and embracing others that enrich all of our lives.To quote the episode on "The Nod," Geek is the new black!

This show is well written and hysterically funny. It presents and shows Black families as accomplished and diverse within the family based not on race but age. The teen angst is funny and a right of passage that transcends race and gender. The oldest daughter is popular and pretentious and the teen son is a nerd. What a combo! The youngsters are twins with the girl having the wisdom of an adult with the heart of a child (she is a scream) and the son is really cute and a ['cliche'] good dancer. Bonus: the little girl is portrayed as the more intelligent of the twins. Finally, the parents are funny characters while being role models with the wife a doctor and the father a successful marketing executive. They make a great team. Sometimes they team together and other times team with one or more of the kids at the expense of the other. It's an equal opportunity offender situation which in no way detracts from their individuality and personal accomplishments. I love 'Team Johnson' and appreciate the portrayal, celebration and comedy within a diverse Black family! Regarding the negative comments and inference that the show is a Cosby ripoff and borders on racist is disingenuous at best. It stands on its own and I for one am sick of seeing Black Americans primarily being portrayed as uneducated criminals. Those who don't think this show is cleverly written both from an age (societal evolutionary perspective)and race perspective just doesn't get it and has no sense of humor. I do not see overtures of racism or anti-white sentiment either (FTR I am white). It gives a perspective as seen from the 'Black' race. News Flash - there is just as much diversity amongst the Black race as there is amongst the white race.Do yourself a favor, watch it and you be the judge. If you are someone who can laugh at themselves and enjoy seeing families doing the same then don't miss this series. It is light and a refreshing departure from how Black families are typically portrayed and who are not relegated to living in a housing project. The characters are funny and make fun of themselves while being accomplished. Alert....YEAH - no murders, incarcerations, or police situations...just plain light hearted silliness.

Awesomeness ;-)
