Act Your Age

I already love the stars of this show. There are some points where it looks like the ladies should be given more input in the writing & lines but other than that I love it. Tisha Campbell is hilarious in everything she does but i feel like she has finally been let loose on this show. Her expressions & comedic timing is priceless I hope this show will last until they reach the age of the golden girls. This is a winner. (Note to writers, many of us can tell when the line delivered was probably not written by a woman, give them more input & this will be a top rated show. All of the actors are so talented, there is no reason to be overly silly which is turning some of my friends off. Me I personally enjoyed every episode but I need you to hang in there. I need more of this of this show for years to come.

I've been watching this show for the last month. At first I enjoyed it, but my opinion of it has kind of changed. The cast is legendary, that's for sure. Keisha (Tisha Campbell), Angela (Yvette Brown), and Bernadette (Kym Whitley) share an apartment together. The storyline of the episodes are centered around their differing personalities and the challenges of getting older. I'm not in the same stage of life as they are, but as an African American woman, it's nice to see a black version of the Golden Girls. That along with Sex and the City are two female shows I can't relate to. Black people's representation in the media has historically been, and still is, negative, so the concept itself is refreshing.

With that being said: yes, there are funny moments. However, the writing could use some work. The cringey one-liners and fake laugh track become old really quick. Plus the jokes are often bawdy. Especially from Keisha. She talks nonsense and it stops being funny after a while. A woman in her 50s who's still promiscuous and getting smashed wouldn't have friends in real life. What other 50-something wants to hang around another person of the same age group who's stuck in their 20s? To tell the truth, I've never actually laughed watching this... I chuckled. I might've had a semi-laugh a couple of times. I don't think black TV shows will ever be hilarious like Sanford and Son. I can watch reruns of that to no end. The jokes weren't always the cleanest, but the characters never talked about "riding" people or any of that junk. And the whole on again/off again romance between Angela's daughter and Bernadette's son is getting sappy. I wish they would just decide whether or not they want to take their friendship to the next level!

Also, the previous episode was boring and weird. Nothing else happens besides them playing spades. Exciting much? Wait, it gets even more ridiculous. They make a tournament out of it by inviting other people in their building, and everybody plays dirty. Bernadette invites her son's ex-girlfriend to play, knowing Angela's daughter would be there. That was a strategy to throw off both of them. And then Keisha cheats. They were all just being immature and stupid. I know it's only television, but when characters are petty in a sitcom, that reminds me of people I've encountered, and that's when it ceases to be funny. I hope that was just a one time thing and the next episodes are better. Because that makes me wonder who this show is geared towards. The ghetto demographic perhaps? My IQ isn't exceptionally high, but I need more happening in a comedy show besides people turning on each other during a card game. Act Your Age is decent overall, but I can see it going downhill like many other sitcoms.

The show is phenomenal we get to see a lot of the amazing actresses from our past they look absolutely beautiful and outstanding. But the only thing that doesn't make sense to me in the show is the children's storyline I feel that the women in the show can hold their own without the kids having to play a part in it. Their storyline is just ridiculous and Overplayed they're not needed. It's not that I have anything against the children being played in the showBut I just feel that they bring down the show with their odd storyline. But I love the women they are doing there thing. Act Your Age!!!!

Act your age is the modern day golden girls. Three woman in their 50's living together that in a lot of ways are completely different from one another. The sweet Yvette Nicole Brown, the wild Tisha Campbell, and the sharp Kym Whitley join forces to star in this unforgettable, hilarious, warm, family comedy. This show demonstrates the perfect blend of comedy, drama, and heart. The comedy element makes me smile and laugh every time.

There aren't many multi-cam TV shows produced these days that will stand the test of time but I think this one will. The episodes so far have been very well written and so funny. I'm looking forward to what's to come.

Hoping Bounce TV will renew this show.

Being a lady in my prime at 57, I relate so much to this well put together comedy! Having "grown up" with these actresses over the years, it's quite refreshing to see these women at the top of their game! And even though people want to compare ACT YOUR AGE to the classic Golden Girls, I urge viewers to watch ACT YOUR AGE for it's own unique type of comedy! I rarely laugh out loud at typical sitcoms but this one right here.... HITS HOME!! Did anyone catch Tisha Campbell's (Keisha) Easter egg from SCHOOL DAZE? I do hope BOUNCE TV keeps ACT YOUR AGE in rotation for many seasons to come! BRAVA ladies!!
