In blackish I remember seeing rainbow introducing her mother who is a white lady, but in mixedish they have shown that rainbow has a black mother and white father???
What am I missing here? I’ve seen both shows inconsistently one episode here or there which may be why I’ve missed some detail??
I enjoy the show but I feel like it already had a good ending when Zoey graduated college. I feel like they should have had junior go to a different college to make it different somehow. IDK
I grew up in the 80’s and the term biracial was often used, in fact I don’t recall the term mixed. I wonder why the term biracial was never alluded to on this show? (I’m just finishing season 1 now so maybe this is addressed later?)
Watching The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window and Aunt DeeDee is in the third episode. (She might be in more, I'm only on ep 3 right now). It's a small role as a detective, but I'm glad she's getting more work.
Catching up on my shows, saw Monday's episode of Kenan "Those Chops Pop" and saw Christina Anthony as Mayoral candidate Regina Tyson.
I hope she becomes a recurring character, she's so funny. I miss her on Mixedish.
It was the '80s.
Alicia and Paul would have been gay allies who are donating to find a cure. Harrison would...I don't even want to think about the stuff he would say.
In 2021, Adult Rainbow, Johan and Santamonica recall very different accounts of what happened the summer that they all got their new bicycles. In the ‘80s, an overprotective Alicia’s worst fear comes true when one of the kids goes off on their own with their bike and gets lost. Meanwhile, Harrison catches Denise spending extra time in the office to get overtime and puts her to work on.
Since the show has been cancelled, technically this is the series finale. :(
Paul tries to become better friends with Denise so he uses his white privilege to help her out with her errands. Meanwhile, Rainbow, Jonah and Santi are selling chocolate bars for their school fundraiser but they pick up some questionable sales tactics.
Next week should be a new ep!
After the Johnson family discovers Harrison on a date, Paul decides to give Harrison some dating advice, which turns things upside down. Meanwhile, Alicia feels a little insecure after finding out all of her children go to Aunt Denise for advice instead of coming to her.
Rainbow's best friend, Tamika, asks her to plan her 14th birthday party, so Bow goes out of her way to make sure it's the coolest birthday party ever. Meanwhile, Paul and Alicia battle it out for who is the "coolest," and Harrison takes Santi and Johan on a trip to Mexico for some quality time.
*Reposting as previous thread had incorrect episode title. *
I liked bow so much i wanted to give this show a try, but i remember not liking it after an episode. they talked like they were in the 21st century and not in the 80s. is the language gonna get better or atleast be a representation of the 80s?
Alicia treats herself to an expensive purse, but Paul finds out and demands that she return it; Bow bribes Alicia to buy her a fancy backpack so she can impress her friends at school.
Alicia's mum, Grandma Shireen, stays with the Johnson's after her surgery, but taking care of grandma becomes a full-time job; Denise tests each of the kids to see who is best fit to take care of her when she gets old one day.
Paul and Alicia encourage sex-positive conversations with Bow until she invites her crush over to their house and they worry about what’s happening behind closed doors. Meanwhile, Johan and Alvin are looking at advertisements, magazines and even the constellations to see if they can see boobs.
When are we getting that episode?
Does anybody feel this way? I prefer season 1 any day.
Alicia and Denise realize they’ve been boxed into Black women stereotypes at the law firm, and Harrison’s attempts to help ends up causing more harm. Meanwhile, Paul worries his new job is taking time away from spending time with the kids, so he makes an overzealous effort to connect with each one individually.
Let's face it. Personality wise and how they both feel about race they are almost split images of eachother. It would be amazing character development for both of them to get together.
I'm sorry but I find Denise to be very racist. Paul is nice enough to let her come in their home and eat their food only for her to be always bash him for being white
Summary: It’s not all fun and games when Paul wants to crash Denise and Alicia’s neighborhood Spades match, so they teach him about the cultural and racial significance of the game. Meanwhile, Santi, Johan and Bow learn about divorce after watching a movie, so Harrison tries to teach them that divorce can be cool.
When we see her in Black-ish she's talking about mother gaia and in the episode where Zoey questions her belief in God Bow says her mom believes in many goddesses. She obviously let go of her Christian faith again so...what was the point of this episode?
