Just received this great e-mail from GetOnTheCouch.com’s about the new Upfronts 2014, ABC’s Black-ish (First Look) from ABC:
SHOW: Black-ish, comedy
WHO: Anthony Anderson (Guys With Kids), Tracee Ellis Ross (Girlfriends), Yara Shahidi (Scandal), recurring star Laurence Fishburne (Hannibal).
WHAT: A from Harlem to Hollywood story an upper-middle class black man struggles to raise his children with a sense of cultural identity despite constant contradictions and obstacles coming from his liberal wife, old-school father and his own assimilated, color-blind kids.
WHEN: Wednesdays at 9:30PM EST
WHERE: ABC
BOTTOM LINE: Who the hell knows? ABC’s publicity department doesn’t know how to cobble together a decent first look? I’m blown away with the randomness. That being said, I love Ross and am happy to see her getting work. Anderson is annoying, but always has been. It could do well bridging the gap between Modern Family and Nashville, but I don’t know… just depends on how Cosby-ish they decide to go.
What do you think, gonna watch it?
