5. Great episode ... Blackish won't last ...

because it stepped out of it's lane. Think Roc folks.

6. I thought that was beautiful.

I'm not much for sitcoms, but I enjoy that one.

I think they've got the Disney machine in their corner, and that doesn't hurt.

For anyone who hasn't seen it and doesn't have cable, you'll be able to see it in a week on the ABC website:

Hang on to that link!

7. Thanks for the link.

I'm not much of a sitcom fan either and had no idea they still touch on social issues. Good!

8. Oh my God, I LOVED Roc! What do you mean? Did Roc do something to make it get cancelled??

[1StrongBlackMan]

9. Yep ...

{From Wiki}

As it progressed, the series adopted a more dramatic tone, with several installments featuring social commentaries on gang activities, violence among youths, the consequences of drug use on childbirth, and the plight of African-Americans in the United States.

While fans were devoted, their numbers were also low; for three seasons, Roc was acclaimed critically but was generally towards the bottom of the Nielsen ratings (though it did quite well in African American households). Roc gained recognition in the form of award nominations, including an Emmy nomination for its camera work, with Charles Dutton receiving an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series.
