Tracee and Malcolm as parents

i kinda agree with you. something is off. i love them both though. maybe its the children. i don't know

here go hell come

You got that right...Tracee is a little "type-cast" in my mind, being the professional single woman doing her own thing on "Girlfriends", and Malcolm will always be "Theo", but he was also a great bar-keep on "Malcolm and Eddie", but neither show required him to be a responsible adult. The writers really needed to let him loosen up a little on RBTL.
