Anthony Anderson’s kicks are as much of a character on Blackish as his role Dre. Therefore, when they show filmed its 100th episode yesterday, they got a cake shaped like an Air Jordan to celebrate.
Deon Cole, Miles Brown, Yara Shahidi, Marcus Scribner, Marsai Martin, Anderson, Tracee Ellis Ross, Laurence Fishburne, Jenifer Lewis, Peter Mackenzie and Jeff Meacham could not wait to cut into that cake. Hopefully, it tastes better than Dre’s sneakers after a game of hoops!
Blackish’s fifth season begins airing on ABC October 16th. The 100th episode will air sometime after that.
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.
We know there are a lot of things that Anthony Anderson can do, and now we learned there is another thing to add to that long list. The star of Black-ish told Larry King that he can sing Opera. Then the Ora-TV host asked him to do it, and the actor blew us away with his Operatic voice. Who knew? I certainly never imagined as any form of a singer.
Why didn’t he do it professionally? He said, “I am tone deaf…I can only sing in unison, I can’t sing in harmony.” Therefore, if anyone wants him to do a one-man Opera, he’s your man. You want him to sing with someone else, look for someone else.
Black-ish is not afraid to take on the issues and tonight at 9p on ABC they brilliantly take on postpartum.
Ever since Bow (Tracee Ellis Ross) had her 5th child, she has been an emotional wreck who cannot bond her son. Therefore, her kids take on the parenting responsibility for their mom and Dre (Anthony Anderson) is left wondering what is wrong. Junior (Marcus Scribner) helps out by getting his siblings to baby proof the house and his dad reads some women’s magazine’s. That is when Dre realizes that his wife has postpartum. He takes her to doctor to get her help, but is she willing to take it?
During tonight’s emotional episode, they have an about time moment that will cause you to applaud at the television. And make sure to stay until the very end for a great oh 💩 moment that will have you laughing all through The Mayor. Believe me, you do not want to miss it.
In fact, you do no want to miss tonight’s episode that I think is the best Black-ish so far. It is the perfect amount of laughs to go with the serious nature of this topic and plenty of heart to bring it all together. This is definitely their Emmy submission and Ross deserves to win one. She won’t because it’s Veep last season, but she deserves to.
Back in 2003, we fell in love with Kangaroo Jack. Now, 14 years later, Anthony Anderson and Jerry O’Connell are ready to do Kangaroo Jack 3. Which really is the 2nd one since the sequel was animated and didn’t include the humans.
Back to the charming 3rd movie, the Black-ish star is going to make his case for it tonight at 10p on his Animal Planet show Animal Nation with birthday boy O’Connell and a special guest. Who that special guest is, we will have just have to tune in to find out.
And we also have to tune in to show Hollywood we want Kangaroo Jack 3 to happen! It is what the world needs now. Especially, since someone caused a rift between US and Australia recently. This is the movie that could make that tension go down under mate! That and these two should be men at work together again.
