Like any parents, Andre "Dre" (Anthony Anderson) and Rainbow (Tracee Ellis Ross) Johnson want to give their children the best. But their offspring's childhood is turning out to be much different than theirs. They now realize at least two things: there is a price to pay for giving their children more than what they ever had, and these loving parents are totally unprepared for the fallout.

Jr's Chain

Do we never learn what happened to Jr's chain? You would think if he committed an assault and got expelled from prep school, that he would at least recover his stolen property. How did anybody make any assertions against him without giving him back his chain?

The kids

Am I the only one who liked zoey jack and Diane though out the series of blackish. I likes junior in the early seasons but at seasons 3-5 I just didn’t like him for some reason. I liked Ruby to but she had her weird moments. I loved pops with my whole heart.

Should I watch mixed-ish or black-ish first

Ive never seen the show at all and I'm in need for something to watch as I've just been rewatching the same shows over and over again so should I watch mixed-ish first or Black-ish Ive always liked watching shows in chronological order and did the same for young Sheldon/big bang theory and when I first (and only time) watched the star wars movies I also watched them in chronological order so what would you guys, the fans of this show recommend for me?

Edit: thanks for everyones replies I decided to go with mixed-ish which I've been enjoying and once I'm finished that I'll be moving to Black-ish thanks!

Diane’s Hair

I know this subreddit is prob not very active since the show ended, but i’m rewatching it and im sorry. they do diane so wrong so many times w the hair choices they put her in. some of her hair choices r so cute but some are so bad on her. it’s just confusing bc in grownish, zoie’s hair is so gorgeous and stunning. and they change her hair often. but w diane, even tho they change it often. most times the hair just does not suit her !

Junior completely changed.

Currently watching the season 6 episode of grownish S06XE06 Savior Complex. He is all for Doug breaking up with his girl because she had a kid. Junior was practically Devante's dad in blackish so wouldn't he be for Doug's girl having a kid...

Grownish series finale discussion

I know this isn't the right sub to post this, but the grownish sub is locked. I also know that grownish ended months ago and that I am a bit late. But I just have to share this. What I am specifically talking about is the ending of the episode where it is shown that Doug was texting Jazz saying how much he misses her. Meaning there is potential that they might get back together. I would want to know why they would get back together, considering all the bullshit that's they did to each other. If they are getting back together, then it has to be acknowledged that it took him 4 years, smashing Luca's sister, and dating that single mom to make it happen

Looking for episode making fun of Mariah Carey

In one episode Andre was talking to his coworkers about how there are two types of black people with money. At the end of the conversation they made a joke about Mariah Carey. Can anyone remember what episode that was?

looking for an episode

my mom is looking for an episode, her description was: Junior tells Dre he doesn't feel super discriminated against, so Dre tries to prove him wrong. They go to a store and there are some tester and Junior wants to take some and Dre is sure, that the sales associate will think he's stealing, but in the end he tells Junior to take some.

I was about to watch Grown-ish but…

I’m scared to watch this show, considering watching the kids grow up throughout black-ish, and seeing rainbow as a child? Don’t even get me started on mixed-ish. I love this trilogy to bits but I’m just terrified of seeing the old days and even the new days, considering that grown-ish is still airing this year.

dre & show

dre gets more insufferable as the show goes on. he continues to act childish and selfish.

the episode where he somehow is really into art was baffling to me, where did that come from. there are so many episodes like this that are just pure random. i wish the show adapted a more modern family vibe not a mockumentary just have a better story line rather than just random episodes.

jack went from barely passing in school to being in robotics. you need to be relatively smart to be able to do that. how did he get so smart?? zoey's character never changed. i'm half way through grown ish and the only difference is that she’s a little bit more mature. i would've loved to see juniors work at S&L and how he started taking more responsibility or gone down the other path as a comedian. that would've been so interesting to see.

i just wish it wasn't all filmed in one place and they tried to follow the children more and what it's like in their daily life with a plot. i still like the show, its funny and it does have some great important moments. ie the one about women's hair, i really loved. i’m just waffling but i wish more people watched this.

Can you help me find a scene?

It's simple. I'm looking for a scene (at work maybe, or maybe not) where Charlie tells Dre "God is good, Dre.". The joke was that he's been told something he shouldn't have been thankful for or he was weirdly thankful for something out of the ordinary. I just remember loving how Deon Cole played that scene. Thanks for any leads.

Who is the worst character in blackish?

My opinion: Dre. Look some people will disagree with this but I just found Dre really hard to like and I'm only on the 5th season and so far I have only seen Dre take Bow's side once against ruby and that was the episode where Bow got postpartum depression where Ruby had crossed the line. Another reason why I don't like him is because he treats Junior like a pile trash on a sidewalk and is an absolute joke of a father to him. The way he treats Junior is not tough love it is an evident hatred towards him.

I just watch the end of season 4, and what was that about?

I recently got into Black-ish and the divorce arc confused me. I just don't get why they did that. The episodes in themselves were not bad (I liked the episode when they decide to split up), but they came out of nowhere and went out of nowhere. Sure they joked a little in the season about how they're going to have a divorce, but that's it. Sure they are dysfunctional and I wondered how these two get married, considering how different they are in their values and the way they see the world; but it is treated as comedy so you don't think it will be a big deal. I think they didn't even do a transition between the episodes where they talked about it and the rest : they could have end an episode with them fighting and then start with the next one with how it went down, but no, they start the episode with them being closed to break up just like that. If they wanted this to be the end of the season, why didn't they build it up?

And most importantly : what was the point? The season ends with them staying together for a reason just because Bow's dad died, so not even something that is about their couple. They really made it seem like they were going to divorce, with the tone of the episodes, the whole arc, and then they just don't! I also started season 5 and it is like nothing happened. So why did they do it? Why did they decide to do something so serious that should consequences, if they don't do consequences ? What was the point?

Plus, if they did get divorced, it could have been a way to do something new with the show.

I liked the episodes in themselves, but they just seem so random in the show. Can someone tell me what they were thinking?

Should I watch the rest of the series?

I stopped watching the series about 5 years ago at season 4. I felt like that series was the worst, and after that it probably got worse, just like with other series, like modern family brooklyn nine nine etc...

Is the rest of the series actually worth watching or not, is the ending worth watching?

I’m sort of confused on a few things

Rainbows mother looked so much different in blackish than mixedish. The older version of Alicia looks like an entirely different person than her younger version and I don’t get it. Isn’t the point of choosing actors for older/younger versions of characters based on how much they look like the original character?

Also, santi is too mature and smart for a 5 year old, right? I get her character is supposed to be sassy and annoying, but if i didn’t know her canon age in mixedish i would’ve guessed she was like 7 or 8. Idk, I’m not complaining about either things I’m just a bit confused.

Episode Help

Hey Y’all, Was just talking to a friend about the notion of loving the art of some of your favourite problematic artists versus loving the artists themselves and I believe Black•ish tackled that rather well at one point. I am struggling very very hard to place this conversation/plot point. It did happen right?

I remember a Bump & Grind reference for ‘Bow maybe? Any help is much appreciated!

how would a continuation of mixed ish work

So after binge watching all of mixed-ish I was wondering, how would a continuation work for the series like for example

What would the first episode of season three be like?

how many seasons will the show have? for example like black- ish had eight seasons and grown-ish had six seasons.

how many episodes would each season have?

is the storyline going to expand like adding more major events in rainbows teenage years?

will the story carry on to the 90s?

And where would new episodes premiere on freeform or ABC or Hulu

And how they’re going to deal with the actors aging?

Bow has a weird tendency to want to be her kids best friends.

Bow does this a lot where she wants to be her kids friends, first with Zoe, then a lot with Diane when she started getting older, then a lot with Junior (I don’t think it ever happened with jack or Devante) she’s always tried to be more of a best friend then a mom, and in a lot of the situations where she did this it’s when the kids just needed their mom not a best friend. I don’t know if I’m the only person who noticed this but it just seems really weird and kind of makes her a bad mom. (Not saying she is a bad mom it’s just not really something a good mom would do)

Jack could have become a snowman

I just realized in S3, E6 the principal says to Dre: “…you told Jack he could become a snowman” And Dre answers: “Prove that he can’t”

Fast forward to S8, E4: (The episode where Jack works for the LA Lakers) Dwight Howard asks Jack if he wants to earn some extra money by dressing up as Olaf from Frozen for his nieces Birthday party.

So Jack really got a chance to “be a snowman”

Origins of Friend

Why does Diane call Jack friend? I've always wondered, and I think it's cute.
