Reed Between the Line

I love this show! It reminds me of the warmness that I felt when I watched the Cosby Show in the 80's. I normally do not watch sitcoms, but I make sure that I record this show on my DVR. I watch it along with my fiancée and three boys. It is a good wholesome family show that I am surprised to see on sleazy BET. Great job BET for bringing people in their middle thirties, with families, a show that they can be proud of because I get tired of seeing black people depicted as sexual objects, money hungry monkeys that want to fight all the time, wanna be gangsters, drug addicts, and junkies etc. It is about time we had a show that showed that the sane blacks are nothing like those images that we see on reality shows or other sitcoms.

I have watched 4 episodes of this show and I just don't like it. The characters have no chemistry, it's like the none of the actors met before the first rehearsal. The children, who should be the highlights of the show, are dreadful to watch. Even the youngest daughter has no real appeal, as cute as she is. The blended family choice was a stretch and serves no purpose, especially if it's going to be swept under the rug like a dirty secret (I didn't watch the pilot episode so until IMDb had no idea that it was supposed to be a blended family). This show seems too forced and even all the celebrity guest stars can't save it. Nice try but the image of this show needs to be revamped if they want to survive.

I really liked and enjoyed the show. I just love the two main characters and how they related to each others. I hope you will bring it back. The writing is also fantastic. Good job!!!!!!

The children are pretty good and I love the office workers the secretary and other professional in the office. I didn't see all of the episodes so I'm getting ready to watch it now on entertainment on Demand. I don't understand why anyone would put it down as I enjoyed the three that I saw and I spoke to others who enjoyed Reed/Lines. I especially enjoyed the visits from the parents and the "Save the date episode. So true as to relating to the ex-husband.

"Reed Between The Lines"is one of the most refreshing and entertaining sitcoms to premier on BET in a very long time. Airing on Tuesday nights at 10pm, Tracee Ellis Ross and Malcolm Jamal Warner star as Carla and Alex Reed, both doctors (one a psychologist) the other (a college professor)as a loving, devoted married couple raising three children. Melissa DeSousa ("The Best Man") also stars as the pretty acupuncturist and friend of Carla Reed along with Anna Maria Horsford ("Friday" and "The Wayans Bros") as Ms. Helen, Dr. Reed's witty and sassy receptionist. Malcolm Jamal Warner and Tracee Ellis Ross have wonderful screen presence and chemistry that makes them stand out as a believable husband and wife couple. So far, the show touches on very important issues such as family values, discipline, love, commitment, etc. "RBTL" is a cool t.v. series that is unique and original in its own way. The writing is fairly decent and the acting is done well, especially by the adorable Reed children. Although there are no real surprises to the show, it is still definitely worth the watch. It is a fun show that depicts African American family life in a positive and genuine way and is also a step up from most of the ridiculous programming that's shown on BET. I rate this show an 8 out of 10.

for many family series , "nice" is the best word when you do not know say something more. but in this case the word is more than a form to save appearances. "Reed Between the Lines" is nice because it gives a precise picture of every day reality. this represents its first virtue. the second virtue the use of "spices". humor, jokes, the war between parents and children at different ages, the relations with family, colleagues and the others, the link between husband and wife, the wise choices for create an ordinary universe using the most inspired tools. short, a series about family. remembering many others series about same subject. but, more important, proposing a real useful perspective.
