Yeah, ABC is not going to cancel the only black family sitcom on it's roster in season 1. Also, it's ratings are insanely high, easily 2x what a FOX sitcom gets.

When goolging the show, apparently some TV bloggers/writers are complaining that is just "The Cosby Show" but worse, which seems like a weird complaint for a show that so far has including a subplot about (not)beating a child, a father worrying about his son not being 'black' enough, and a GoT reference.

I wouldn't count the SA thread for the show Blackish being any indication that the show is doing poorly (as pentyne pointed out, it's really, really not). It's moreso probably just a fault of SA's demographics (i.e. mostly white male nerds) that the thread's so quiet. Which is a shame, really!

I was semi-joking when judging popularity by SA post count, but even Selfie had like a three page thread before it got canceled.

Umm, a hot ginger Highlander from Doctor Who transformed into a bubbly long leggy tart on a US sitcom is really goon teevee Mecca. That thread would have gone beyond three pages back in the day. Was Selfie up against WWE or something? Goons are getting either old, soft or both.

There were some good jokes but none of the plots really worked and the altered reality stuff landed with a thud for me. This is a show that trusts its audience enough to go along to some unexpected places and this all felt very Sitcom 101. That said, they handled it without losing the characterizations in the process and I still enjoyed myself.

My point was that they're all good. :)

Wasn't it already renewed for a second season?

Also this episode explains where the name Rainbow comes from. Goddamn hippie parents :argh:

With Fresh Off The Boat doing well, keeping Blackish around pads ABC's resume out further for having shows with diversity on the schedule.

I think it'll be fine.

Blackish and Fresh Off The Boat are both doing more than fine ratings wise, and have a fair amount of critical and commercial buzz. They'll both get a second season, at the least.

The Angel from my Nightmare

Did they forget to put any kind of resolution to the woman in the boardroom (who was she?) getting picked on the whole episode? She turned away to make a call that they focused on but then nothing happened after that.

The joke was that she was calling a high profile attorney who deals with sexual harassment cases.
