I am the total opposite of this article. Whenever anybody brings up 90s girl groups, I think of En Vogue first and foremost and will go into a "Harpo who dees women?" whenever anyone brings up Xscape or Brownstone. They were so not on my radar! LOL.

This is some next level literary analysis. I am here for this. So much the truth. If you think about it, if Hogwarts only accepted on merit, then Ron definitely would have been there only as a legacy. I daresay he was an affirmative action* appointee when he got the Prefect position that should have gone to Harry.

I've only ever seen it with this one episode. I know that when they release DVDs they'll put in deleted scenes & blooper reels that sort of thing, but I haven't seen one put up right after an ep aired.

I think this was my least favorite episode of the season. A good episode becuase the season overall is super strong. But not my favorite. Hulu & abc.com bot have an extended version of this episode that gives 9 extra minutes that works so much better than the episode that aired on broadcast. I don't remember them…

I am resigned to always disagreeing with the grades of these episodes. There is good content analysis but it feels like the reviewer wants the show to be a black cultural think piece (but funny) and is let down when it isn't.

According to google maps that is a damn near 6 hour car drive or a $300 plane ride between the two schools. How the heck do you foster a sense of community with that distance?

I think I watched that video like twenty times. Her neck snap, shoulder flip move combined with the pointed book-in-front-of-face dismount gets a perfect 10 from all the judges!

Junior's love of all things middle-aged white women is so baffling yet such a funny character beat. it is one of the things that makes the humor on this show interesting as well as funny.

Yup. Blackish is KILLLING it this season. The show found an extra gear and kicked it up big time. And I wish FOTB was on Wednesdays, I'd have my 2-hr comedy block all set.

The first season had a vision, it was a re-telling of a Lion in Winter or King Lear. The power struggle between Lucious & Cookie and them pitting their kids against each other was a good foundation.

Not me. They tracked my ass down 10 years later. I paid them that $22.95 I still owed. And kept the receipt so they don't try to come at me 10 years from now.

Honestly the only person(s) on this show that I think are really terrible are Wes and Annalise. I love Annalise mainly because Viola's performance makes Annalise both a little sad and a lot ferocious. But she is still a terrible person.

Oooh, don't agree with the C+ grade for this at all. I thought it did a good job of creating a really funny show around religion that didn't mire itself in religious dogma. It was also incredibly relatable.

I dunno about Iris being angry with Joe at that moment. Maybe if he hadn't started doing the ugly cry she could have shown anger. But dude was shoulders shaking CRYING. So, yeah, I think it would have read as very heartless of her to be angry with him then.

I don't think black folks consciously feel the need to emulate the Cosby's from the Cosby show, because let's face it, they were a fantasy family. People know they were too perfect.

Oh I love the office scenes, their weirdness & OTT is part of the DNA of the show.

Well, we are talking about 1) Black Actors 2) of a certain age who 3) might be somewhat recognizable and 4) will work in network tv and 5) Don't already have a regular gig. Not a huge list to start with. So we are left kinda with A) the Usual Suspects or B) the Cast of the Wire or C) an unknown/lesser known.

Ooh, what about Keith David?

I liked this episode because for me, although it does not have the sheer bonkers greatness of the first seven episodes of S1, it feels very close in spirit to S1.

I laughed this entire episode, but I think I just about howled when Dre channeled Florida Evans and her 'Damn, Damn, Damn!'
