What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the ABC television network, Black-ish stars Anthony Anderson, Tracee Ellis Ross, Yara Shahidi, Marcus Scribner, Miles Brown, Marsai Martin, Laurence Fishburne, Jenifer Lewis, Peter Mackenzie, Deon Cole, and Jeff Meacham. Wealthy ad executive Dre Johnson (Anderson) and his wife, anesthesiologist Rainbow (Ross), want to give their children the best of life, as well as a strong foundation for a bright future. They’re determined that those will include a strong sense of cultural identity and respect for their past. That’s not always easy in a rapidly changing world. In the seventh season, the sitcom continues to look at current events through the lens of the Johnson family, addressing the global pandemic, systemic racism, and the movement for social justice and equality.

Telly’s Take
Will ABC cancel or renew Black-ish for season eight? Though the ratings have dropped, ABC/Disney continues to look at new ways to extend this series’ universe. We already have two spin-offs — Mixed-ish and Grown-ish — and more may be on the way. While all shows must end at some point, I think Black-ish will see an eighth season, providing the stars want to continue making it. That may be the end, however.

The show was not really representative of American-African families. It was filled with the standard events that could be seen in the old Cosby Show. It never ventured into the real situations of what American-Africans must deal with in America. The show digressed into tripe with a main character looking like a member of the Taliban. The show casing of “Colored” people simply to showcase colored people was a waste of time and TV Airspace. YES, we do need American-African shows on TV, but we need them to have substance and meaning, which is what being an American-African is all… Read more »
