Really
I hope either this gets better or the cancel it soon. It would've been nice to laugh at some time. With the cast they have this should be better.
shareI wish that they gave John Witherspoon and Jackee (two of the greatest comedic talents and scene-stealers) more to do than using generic-ass "your old" and "your ugly" jokes. It looks like something that would have been made in the 90s with the cinematography and all of the prominent black sitcom veterans around, not that that's a bad thing, but the execution of the one-liners fall flat and the scenarios are very bland, plus those canned "studio audience" laughs don't help either. The same goes for that new Bill Bellamy show that's produced by the same team.

I posted a response on the "Mr. Box Office" board, but yeah, I don't see this one making any waves. To me, it has a lot of the same average writing and overacting that's already in the other current black sitcoms (Tyler Perry's stuff, "Love That Girl", etc.).
Byron Allen produces some pretty cheesy, low-budget stuff. I was hoping this one wouldn't fall into that same cookie-cutter category. The laugh track sounds like the one used on "Comics Unleashed" (another Byron show).
It's not horrible, it's just not that good either. It's..........mediocre. Kinda sad given the cast. Oh well, at least it's not Flavor Flav's sitcom from a few years ago.
Oh stewardess...I speak jive.
UPN lives on.

She was her same great self. crackin' off the insults with rifle precision and timing. And for 81 years old, she looks great.

the writing is terrible. all that talent being wasted. the direction is mediocre also. well at least the cast is getting some paychecks before it gets canceled
shareHere's the thing...they produced close to 100 episodes in a really short amount of time (i.e. less than a year), so it's going to be around for awhile.
Tyler Perry did the same thing with his sitcoms, and I hate it. You sacrifice quality for quantity, just to get something on the air. It's almost like the writers/producers don't give a damn about whether or not it's good, just make enough episodes to get syndicated reruns. I call it "assembly line TV production".
Given Byron Allen is behind this one, I wish I could say I'm surprised. He's cornered the market on generic low-budget syndication.
Oh stewardess...I speak jive.
Yes, the talent is much better than the writing. This show could be so much better.
