It's a shame - the theme song is one of my favorite rap songs I listen to on a regular basis!

Haha that was so cold. I kind of like the reminder that Evan is young enough that even though he's adorable, he doesn't really understand the consequences of his actions, it's not something you necessarily see in media much (every kid is either a basket case or angelic).

I'm fine criticizing kid actors :P Emery is the best of this bunch I gotta say. Evan can coast on being the cute baby but Eddie has no excuse. One reason I prefer Black-ish to this show out of the two family sitcoms I watch.

This MIGHT be the year she doesn't get into a fight with someone!

I thought the end tag was kinda awkward when the other two random dancing kids were way better performers and seemed to be having a better time than the main/recurring cast :P

In my mind, this episode proved Emery should be "the main kid" not Eddie haha. Eddie just never comes off as natural to me. Emery has the cute schtick going, sure, but he seems like a real person underneath it too.

Aw, I thought the train line was adorable. Honey's concerned stare in response was great.

The second time was a little weird. I thought Evan would push him to a breaking point but…all forgiven! Okay! Why not!

Randall Park always makes it work! I have a feeling Constance Wu will develop the same reputation.

@disqus_okgItcD0yy:disqus We could also look to…Trophy Wife! Although, maybe y'all aren't counting Bradley Whitford as being that old. Anyway, Malin Akerman in a loving marriage as the third wife of an older man with kids? Sounds familiar!

Maybe he can show them his trains!

Yeah I think LaToya's exaggerating the "impressionable" nature of these kids. The Home Alone thing was good for a joke but Diane has more awareness and intelligence than anyone else in the family! As you say, they clearly were just humoring Ruby to her face while happily ignoring her behind her back. "Just Grandma…

But I'm sure you're aware there IS a correlation between some of those factors and race. Obviously there's plenty of overlap in both directions, sure.

I'm disappointed the kids don't seem to have lives outside the family anymore, I liked seeing a glimpse of their school/friends now and then (more often, friends). Actual classroom scenes would bog it down a bit, but in general more stories about what's going on with them when they're not at home would be welcome, and…

Nah, I think that was more plot-induced conveniently-unfortunate-actions.

It's hard for me to forget Nicole Sullivan's role on Scrubs, another "not very pleasant person" played very well.

For me, "you bleed too easily" came out of nowhere and hit me like a sack of funnybones (that's a thing, right). I'm still laughing about it. And then the first item on the whiteboard was "bleed". What, why, when?! Random humor should be used sparingly but that was just great. (No offense to any hemophiliacs out…

A tried and true great joke. Pile-on!

I agree with Nuke that she said his bones were too dense (thin would be a different sort of problem that doesn't really apply to swimming), but I don't think it was meant to mean anything, just a pretty hilarious callback to Ridiculous White Boss.

It's a very justified and historically interesting stereotype unfortunately. I read an article awhile back (wish I could remember when/wear) that went over the factors that lead to it, but Dre's description outlines it really nicely. A combination of suburbanization, segregation, and the fact that popular swimming and…
