Confused over rainbow’s mom

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??

why does grown-ish keep getting renewed?

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

Why isn’t the term biracial ever used?

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?)

Why does buying Junior Mints at the movies make a guy a "freak"? It was brought up in one of the episodes.

Christina Anthony is on a roll! She's in another new show.

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.

Aunt Dee Dee was in an episode of Kenan this week

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.

Did anyone else expect an episode about AIDS?

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.

Mixed-ish S02E13 "Forever Young" Episode Discussion SEASON FINALE

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. :(

mixed-ish script

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?

In Black-ish Bow says her parents were constantly high growing up. We have yet to see Paul or Alicia smoke in mixed-ish.

When are we getting that episode?

Season 2 is a huge downgrade from season 1 so far.

Does anybody feel this way? I prefer season 1 any day.

Do you think Denise and Harrison are going to get together?

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.

Aunt Denise

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

This latest episode doesn't even make sense bc we know that Alicia doesn't stay a Christian.

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?
