Ahead of its Sept. 24 premiere, the cast of ABC’s black-ish is living — or at least photographing — by three simple rules: point, laugh and wear insanely bold colors.

No thanks.
Looking forward to this, cast is amazing and previews have been fun.
That’s some old school Benetton stuff right there.
This is bound to work well with MODERN FAMILY, and the rest of the Wednesday night lineup. ABC has finally put another FAMILY-oriented comedy after MODERN FAMILY.
How would you describe Suburgatory, The Neighbors and How To Live With Your Parents (For the Rest of Your Life)? they weren’t FAMILY-oriented comedies? just face it, this show is doomed! every show which has aired after Modern Family has been cancelled and history suggests that Black-Ish is no exception.
Guess you were wrong! The show was picked up for another season. HA HA
The wife has crazy eyes.
That’s Diana Ross’s Daughter, Tracee Ellis Ross. She got those eyes from her mama..lol
Omg!! Lol her eye is going to pop out! That’s mad ugly! Ughh she sooo fugly w that googly eye.
Why am I experiencing a sudden craving for Skittles?? :-)
What’s with the apostrophe before the “b”, and why is the “b” not capital?
It is meant to look like a dictionary entry. The ‘ denotes the syllable to stress in pronunciation.
Okay, thanks for the explanation, this had me bothering for ever since I saw the logo of the show
To add to Matt’s explanation, it’s prounounced with a slight pause between the first and second syllables. It denotes the meaning “not quite Black” or “not black enough”, hence the show’s premise – hope this helps.
White people complaining in the comments section in 3..2..1…
HA! Exactly this! Thank you!
What’s to complain about?
Well some of the cast looks pretty cool–this might be good!
I will be watching this one for sure but I just don’t think this one is going to make it. It’s gotten a lot negative buzz because of the title and so far I haven’t seen ABC putting together a very good marketing scheme for the show yet. It’s almost as though they already know this isn’t going to be a hit and why waste the advertising dollars on it. Maybe something will change when it gets closer to September
I’m also feeling this is a little shaky, and I’m still not sure that I’m going to watch it myself.
Looks interesting. I’ll be checking the show out.
Looks like its going to be a great show!!
It looks like a nice family comedy that just might be the key ingredient for a successful ABC Wednesday night comedy block.
BLACKISH should be the companion MODERN FAMILY has needed fromthe get-go. I love family comedies and this one is well cast with faves I like to watch. I hope ABC stands behind it, and i hope the production team gives us some genuinely funny enjoyable stuff. ABC may finally have a winning Wednesday from top to bottom. THE MIDDLE never lets me down and, tho I do not care for THE GOLDBERGS, it fits the family flow. Maybe TV comedies are taking a turn that is equal parts retro and real?
I love Anthony Anderson and Laurence Fishburne and hope this series is a big success. So glad it’s following Modern Family, which will hopefully give it a ratings boost.
At the bottom, is should read “It’s not really about color.”
To the point! ..hehehe so excited – can’t hardly wait.
bravo
Looks like a real stinker, starting with the stupidly stylized title. And I hate the ad–no one wears that sort of clothing combination, let alone an entire family doing it. Dumb. Just plain dumb.
I hate this on so many levels. Them black people are decorated like clowns. I can NOT believe that Fishburne has stooped to this. I would expect this from Anthony Anderson who is quite two bit and pissed me the hell off when he cracked jokes about autism at Roscoe’s house of chicken and waffles in Hollywood to a fan who wanted a picture with him and her son who was autistic. He started calling the boy lil autistic boy right here. Tracey is odd and Bernie Mac, Cosby show they are not. Not giving it one committed moment. The title sucks. It sends a bad message. Move back everybody these hungry ass desperate ass actors have allowed the industry to one more time take TWO GIANT STEPS BACK into baffoonland. Massa says I is black ish. Boo hiss.
I think the beautiful family portrait is boldlicious!! I love it!!!
I think the family portrait is beautiful and bold-licious!!! Rainbows in every situation – be thankful for all He has done, is doing and going to do.

The show is doing great and loving the twins.
We Love this show and hope it holds on! There are not a lot of shows the whole family can watch and for closed minded people to see we all have a loving family regardless of color! Good charma! We are staying with it and love, love , love Tracey and the rest of that wonderfully family!
