According to Deadline,

The Universal TV-owned series had respectable ratings over its four-week eight-episode run. It improved its hour for ABC vs comparable weeks last year with original programming (first hour of Extreme Weight Loss) by 81% in total viewers (3.8 million vs. 2.1 million) and doubled the slot in adults 18-49 (1.2/4 vs. 0.6/2).

If the numbers improved, then why get rid of the show? Networks don’t give shows a chance at all. I must admit though…I didn’t even know the show was on yet. Lol.

I watched this show. It was painful to watch. Horrible! I wanted it to work because I’m a fan of Nia Long. However, I knew I wasn’t going to be a viewer. I never laughed. It’s definitely no Blackish!

I watched four episodes on Hulu and I was not impressed. I think Mike Epps is more funny doing dirty comedy and not a show on NBC.

i don’t think it was horrible.. was it the funniest show ever, no. but there’s a lot of just ok shows on tv.. i don’t see why we need to compare it to blackish, there can be more than 1 black show you guys do know that right? anyway, I thought it had potential, the kids were super cute. Wish them the best in the careers.. The little boy is the brother of the older girl on blackish, Shahidi family, so it was all love..

  No, it doesn’t have to be Blackish but at least be “funny-ish”! (Yes, I know that’s not a real word. Just making a point).

I watched and I enjoyed. There were kinks that needed to be worked out but I thought it was pretty good.
