ABC has had a sad fall, so they want to laugh a little more laughter in the spring. Therefore, they ordered some more episodes from four of their sitcoms. They asked Black-ish for two more and one extra ep from The Goldbergs, Single Parents and The Kids Are All Right.
Personally, I think we need more episodes of The Goldbergs, Single Parents and American Housewife because I cannot get enough of those shows and it is all about me.
I also think ABC jumped the gun on Kids because without The Conners as a lead in their ratings will be less than the amount of kids in their family!
Tonight at 8p on The Conners, an old friend (Katey Sagal) comes to town and she eyes on Dan (John Goodman). Is he ready to move on Roseanne? How will his kids react to a woman flirting with their dad?
Meanwhile on the ABC sitcom, Harris (Emma Kenney) gets busted by the cops for underage drinking, and Becky (Lecy Goranson) is the one that is home when the police bring her home. They promise not to tell Darlene (Sara Gilbert) about it, but she finds out anyway. What happens next might put a permanent wedge between the two sisters.
Finally, who did Matthew Broderick piss off to get this role? I understand that they want to give Laurie Metcalf something to do, but this is just awful.
Then at 9p on Black-ish, it is Christmas at the Johnson household. They celebrate by going to movies. Bo (Tracee Ellis Ross) will see anything. The kids want to see the latest comic book movie. Dre (Anthony Anderson), on the other hand, wants to see the Rosa Parks biopic because he thinks his family should support African American movies.
Who do you think wins? After a long debate, Dre wins and his family loses. How will they get out of it? You have to watch the episode to see the takeaway lesson.
Tonight at 9p on ABC, Black-ish celebrates its 100th episode by honoring Prince. Since Dre (Anthony Anderson) and Bow (Tracee Ellis Ross) named their twins after a John Mellencamp song, it would make sense that Jack (Miles Brown) and Diane (Marsai Martin) don’t know who Prince is and how powerful his music is to the Johnson family.
Therefore, they are going to get a lecture in the music of the artist always known as Prince. The legendary late singer touched everyone in a different way and each one of his songs that means something very special to them. That and we will find out which kid was conceived to which one of his songs.
If anyone can get you in the mood, it is Prince. If any show can make you laugh, it is Black-ish. Congrats on episode 100!

Then at 10p but over on NBC, New Amsterdam brings the heart, I mean liver. Six people will receive part of a liver from a family member of a person who also needs that body part. Basically forming a chain. Then when one family member drops out, the chain is broken. Will there be a way to save the chain or will this life-saving project turn deadly?
If Max (Ryan Eggold) does not have enough on his plate, now that his wife knows about his cancer, he cannot run away from it anymore. He will have to face it head on and make decisions that will save his own life.
There is a reason why New Amsterdam is my favorite new show of the season, it gets better with each episode. What sets this medical drama apart from the others is that it is about the patient and not the disease. That is why I always have tissues ready because you care about the people they are trying to cure.
Before Anthony Anderson was starring in shows like Black-ish, he was just a boy at the party on The Wayan Bros. Don’t blink or you will miss him making his acting debut when he was just 14 years old in that 1995 episode.
Jimmy Fallon found out that Anthony Anderson can sing opera. Yesterday when the Black-ish star was on The Tonight Show, the host asked him to belt out a few notes.
Is he really the ghetto project Pavarotti? I think we can all agree that he is. So why haven’t they done an operatic episode of Black-ish? I am sure he TV mother, Jenifer Lewis can hit all the right notes.
Black-ish begins its first season ABC next Tuesday at 9p.
