Is anyone watching blackish? I've watched a few eps, and they just repeated the "nod" episode this week--that concept I really liked, because it's TRUE. There's a nod. I'm the least African American black citizen, and I know there's a nod.
I've tried to march in the Slayer Pride Parade ...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Disabled people do it too, ita. Although I had to learn that from getting one a few times...I didn't have a family example for it.

I am, but I'm behind as I am with most TV. The fourth episode (Crazy Mom) was pretty great, and I think it might be hitting its stride because Crime and Punishment (episode five) made me laugh my head off.

I'm watching Blackish. It's cute, but I usually don't find myself laughing out loud. Thought the episode where the mom was trying to convince the youngest daughter to become a doctor was the funniest one to date. It's better than I thought it was going to be after seeing the first episode, so there's that.

Definitely. I think placing the grand-dad at one end of the judgement, and the way each parent reacts is well-designed. I do not really like the kids, though, except as object lesson of the week's themes. Youngest daughter is too on the nose.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine flashbacks to Holt with hair are the funniest thing ever.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Much as I love the entire gang, if Jake, Rosa, and Doug Judy went off to have a spinoff show by themselves, I'd totally watch. Those three are made of magic, seriously.
