Scribbles About TV: Blackish 2016 Election Episode

This is kind of the episode I've been waiting for since after the election. Blackish is one of the best comedies on TV that actually make commentary on social issues. Last year they had an episode about the Black Lives Matter Movement, they've mentioned politics in many episodes before, this year they talked about Atheism and being a new parent vs. being a parent of 4 with a 5th on the way... there's a lot that this show does and it does it well. There are very serious issues brought up in really funny ways. The Black Lives Matter episode had a more serious tone... I think this one did have a more comical tones... but the real life issues of tensions between Trump Supporters and Hillary Supporters was very,very real and they resolved the episode in a way that gives me more hope for the future. The episode was a pseudo bottle episode too I guess you could say... kind of like the Black Lives Matter episode of last season. What I would consider the main story is Andre'...

So... a lot of important things are happening on TV right now... and I thought I would do a bunch of mini reviews of all of them. Blackish Maronthon-ish- I wasn't going to review this... but I ended up watching it and I'm really starting to like this show. I saw the Christmas episode last week and I thought it was really funny. I didn't think it looked that good on the commercials to be honest. I thought it looked kind of sexist for some reason because the big joke being told on the commercials was that his wife "isn't even black" and she said "well then tell my hair and my ass that." Idk why, it just didn't seem... idk lol. And still the pilot is on right now and its not bad but it feels too much like a pilot. Like "Ohhh this is a show now and this is my regular life but I'm going to overexplain everything about my life and some of the themes of the show." I really like the show and I think these are the important episodes to see...
