So I’ve watched blackish and mixedish souls I watch grownish people saying that it ruins junior character but I honestly thought after his ‘gap year’ his character was changed and weird

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.

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!

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 !

Melanin on point 💕

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...

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

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?

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’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.

Are we not gonna talk about junior (Andre) recreating the will smith slap scene

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.

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.

im having trouble finding a website to stream blackish pls let me know if you guys know anything

as a real life scrub tech, i always wondered why, as an anesthesiologist, was dr johnson constantly scrubbing into surgeries?

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 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?

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?

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.

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!

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?

Why did they just remove him out of nowhere?

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)

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”

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

Does anyone know

There was an episode where Dre found out that Pops was listening to Dre's favourite artist and Dre wanted to listen with him but Pops just slammed the door. Anyone know the artist or the episode

Listen I love the show, I really do and I will keep always keep watching cause even though I may not agree on everything they're saying, the show does have genuine topics that should be discussed and it's also hilarious!.

I start if by saying that I'm pretty young (teen) and don't have as much life experience as other people so they're a things that I might be ignorant too.

A good example is how they treat Junior and Rainbow, continuously questioning they're blackness as a joke and it gets on my nerves. I'm Brownskin myself so I know the world and the black community has it's issues with colorism but having to deal with that in your own household is crazy. They find junior weird because of his interests in magic, anime, DND, things that aren't stereotypical black things and make fun of him for it and it disgusts me to be honest.

I hate the upheld stereotype that black people only like certain things or do certain things because it's not true, and when you do something outside that narrative it's "white people shit" I can understand if it's a joke and you and the person your joking with thinks it's funny but sometimes dre says that shit seriously.

Dre's idea of blackness if very one dimensional despite his arguments and if you didn't struggle some type of way somehow he's a tad bit better then you. Remember when junior went to public school and he was happy to finally find peers who looked like him that had similar interests. Can you imagine being a private school where no one looked like you and your interest were deemed too white by you own family.

I understand putting you kids in a private institution so they have a head start at life especially when you child is of color but what's the point in getting them ahead of there foundation at home doesn't even like them. All I can honestly think about is how alone and disconnected junior most of felt, as the also continue to make him feel that way.

Remember the Easter episode? Where I think Brian was his name had to explain to Dre that his family also indured hardships. Sometimes I feel like he honestly cannot comprehend that some white people experience hardships and prejudice too and won't understand until someone has to lay it out for him.

It honestly rubbed me the wrong way when he said yo his favorite cousins "you're one of the good ones"..... whaaaaat???

Just like he has to explain the hardships black people go through because their is a lack of listening, Is he also listening as well?
