What do you think? How do you like the sound of the Welcome to the Neighborhood TV series? Do you plan to check it out when it debuts on CBS?
Very excited to see “the neighborhood” is being renewed for a third season..Can’t get enough..
It wouldn’t be ok if it was a black family moving into an all white neighborhood. Pretty shocked this is ok for TV but then again I’m not. Racism at it’s best it’s just ok because it’s black on white racism. Nice work me wayans
Actually the show is based on the creator Jim Reynolds when him and his family moved into a black neighborhood in Pasadena..And his experience..I don’t find it racial at all..but we do all see things differently
