[Black Republican]

goddamn i wont be having no life in September - November will i?

 

[blackaroni]

I really enjoyed Season 1. Is Deon Cole going to be back as a regular?

 

[Numb]

Isn't Lawrence Fishburn in this?

Wasn't sure but that is him.
Gotta see this now.

 

[Dereck]

Too many seasons premiering at once.

Don't blame me for almost forgetting my shows and shit.

 

[whitemex88]

Pretty great first episode. The Lawrence Fishburne flashback scene got me the most

 

[Dereck]

Oh, and thanks for making a new OT instead of bumping the season 1 OT.

 

[TripOpt55]

Great episode. I think my favorite part was when Charlie pulled out a gun at the meeting.

 

[Blackhead]

Did Andre Junior grow up or what? Looks older than Zoey now.

Anyway gold episode. This and Empireon the same night/time is almost too much.

 

[MartyStu]

That was AMAZING. I have not laughed so thoroughly in a very long time.

Junior hit puberty HAAARD

 

[Enzom21]

"Boy you smell like wide-open ass!" Great season premiere.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Great episode this week!
"You smell like wide open ass boy" lol
Pops is the best.

Was it just me, or did anyone else feel the show's message lost some impact by bleeping out the word?

I would like to address this, but the show being on ABC gets in the way of this discussion.

 

[WeTeHa]

Great episode.

Lawrence Fishburne is awesome.

 

[TripOpt55]

My favorite part... haha. This episode was so good.

 

[WarrenMax007]

Amazing episode. I laughed so hard when Charlie pulled the gun out at the meeting.

 

[Slayven]

Damn good ep, glad they didn't puss out by saying "nobody should say it"

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Amazing episode. I laughed so hard when Charlie pulled the gun out at the meeting.

Haha him taking his gun out during the meeting was my favorite part. That whole scene was the best part of the episode.

I actually didn't know you couldn't say nigga on broadcast TV. Or maybe you can and ABC didn't want to deal with the flak. It's a weird situation. If they could get away with it, I would bleep it out throughout the episode and then during the very last usage, have it unbleeped.

During development of this episode, it was decided that they could say it on TV but it was bleeped for humor.

This along with second office scene. The exchange about the "thuggish ruggish Don Lemon" was great too.

 

[Dereck]

A new episode aired yesterday, didn't it?

See, one episode in and I already forgot about this show. I need some kind of TV show email notification thing I swear.

 

[Inuhanyou]

I see this is the show with the guy who sexually abused that woman and destroyed his career back then. I can't even look at him trying to come back recently, its too embarrasing.

Morpheus should not even share the set with him

Why are you being vague?

 

[Enzom21]

Why are you being vague?

Anthony Anderson rape charge that was dismissed and his career was not destroyed.

 

[Dereck]

 

[Dereck]

The cast of this show is really coming together.

Tracee Ellis Ross looked incredible this episode.

 

[theincredibleone]

I have found this season to be boring compared to last year and I really enjoyed the show last year. Charlie and Diane make the show with their one liners but it seems like this season is lacking.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

I liked the Halloween episode, especially the Captain Philips reference. So perfect.

 

[DominoKid]

when they finally did the tea kettle thing i cried from laughing.

Be like everyone else and blame him for law and order getting cancelled.

Happy they are giving Ross more screen time with those outfits. Pretty sure her and rainbow are the same person anyway.

I don't see this season doing well. I wonder what stereotypes they got for this year.

But dre acknowledges ghetto . so does that make him nublack or a Oreo. Cuz he's just as soft as junior.

 

[AlphaSnake]

Caught up to this show quick...and it's fucking hilarious.

Deon Cole might be the best character on the show. Dude fires on all cylinders.

And there's something about Junior that I love too. They're the two best on the show.

 

[Dereck]

Deon Cole is so good.

 

[Romez]

I swear Zoey is supposed to 15/16, why is she looking at colleges now?

 

[DominoKid]

you have to start early. i was doing visits when i was 14 or 15.

 

[DominoKid]

 

[LionPride]

I swear Zoey is supposed to 15/16, why is she looking at colleges now?

Cause that's what we do. All my friends and I have visited colleges already. It's normal now

 

[Romez]

Charlie

 

[Vincent Alexander]

My dad showed me a scene from this and it was actually pretty damn funny. I generally am frightened off by any family sitcoms.

Watch it.

And I'll take some heat for not posting in this thread more. I watch every week too.

Loved Wanda Sykes in this

 

[TripOpt55]

Going to miss Deon Cole on here. He was hilarious.

 

[Dereck]

 

[tmdorsey]

I love this show. Gonna miss Charlie.

 

[WedgeX]

This has been my new favorite show. Haven't liked a comedy like this since Arrested Development. Feels good, man.

Charlie, along with Diane, had been my fav.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Any idea if season 1 is available anywhere to stream online?

Wait...looks like Hulu might have me covered.

 

[whitemex88]

I swear Zoey is supposed to 15/16, why is she looking at colleges now?

I feel like they made the 2 oldest younger this season. I swear Jr. Was in high school with Zoey last season but earlier this season they said his age was 13. Are there schools that have middle school and high school in one?

 

[Slayven]

did they ever explain why there was beef between the girl twin and charlie? Other than her being a witch?

 

[AlphaSnake]

Wtf?? Did Deon Cole really leave the show? That farewell was too real. ((((((
