ABC’s
new show Blackish premiered and it’s off to a great start in my opinion. The show stars Anthony
Anderson as the father Andre, Tracee Ellis Ross as the wife Rainbow and Laurence
Fishburne as the grandfather. The lovable Johnson family has four entertaining
and charming children that add to the great cast ensemble. Each character is
comical and witty and after watching episode 1, I think they will quickly draw
in audiences.
Andre,
a successful advertising executive, struggles to find the balance of being an upper
middle class man living comfortably in suburbia, while trying to hold on to
his “black culture.”
I
think what makes `black·ish so exciting is that it addresses cultural
stereotypes and awkward truths while still being quirky and entertaining. I don’t
think the show will solely focus on stereotypes, as that may feel like a one-note, so I am excited for more and to see how the characters and stories develop.
I am also excited to see a sitcom on ABC that centers on an African American
family.
Are you excited for this hump day treat?! I am. Check out the trailer below. `black·ish comes on Wednesdays at 9:30PM EST
Cheers to getting your foot
in the door and making some noise! I can’t wait for more next week.
