On February 27th, ABC aired a Black-ish repeat instead of the episode Please Baby, Please. Now we know why.
According to Variety, there were creative differences between the network and the show’s producer over the episode that took on some of today’s biggest political issues like kneeling during the National Anthem.
This is not the first time that the show has taken on hot button issues, but this is the first time the network yanked the show from the lineup. Neither the network nor the producer revealed what was too controversial for air, but I want to know what was deemed too hot for TV.
Now, when it comes to the show and how they handle political issues, I don’t think that they do as a good of a job as compared to what The Carmichael Show did and Superior Donuts does. It is just that more people watch the ABC sitcom than the other two shows. In fact, I think The Carmichael Show caused Black-ish to up their game. A game that Superior Donuts is winning, so make sure to watch it on CBS Monday nights at 9p.
