Mixed-ish

The season started funny and educational about an American sub culture I was not as familiar with. Then as the show goes on, the show at times plays humour in the white guilt category. Thai makes the comedic show, not funny. And offensive. Still it is interesting to learn the origin of another's subcultures view/ beliefs in the world.

However, if half of the info is correct or to the level it is described, I am not sure even the 21st century is enough time to bring all sides to the middle (equality....maybe best described as a non-issue to describe the source of misfortune). While the show is waning in its funny time slot , it does serve as a good tool to bring up topics for us to talk about, consider and adjust.

As a mixed kid born in 1979, I relate so hard it hurts! I can relate to every episode so far. Not being black or white enough, cultures, hair, relating to only other misfits, and so on. I am glad that there is something on TV that represents the struggle of a mixed kid in the 80's and hopefully, the 90s as a mixed teen. As they say, representation matters. Also, as a 90s teen, I loved me some Mark Paul Gossler! PS to the person that said Bow's mother was white on Blackish, ummm... wrong, her mother was light skinned but black and her father was played by Beau Bridges (and he Is definitely white lol!)

I liked this show, it deserved more episodes in my opinion, it should not have been cancelled so soon, it was great. OK, the kids were annoying sometimes, and the auntie too, but mostly it was good and entertaining, very nice parents, and the grandpa was spot on. Funny that I have found this show from nowhere, and when I looked it up it was mentioned that this is a spin-off. I recognized the narrator so I assumed that the original show was Reed between the lines. Little did I know, but finally I found out it wasn't. So I checked out the originator show, and I have to say, it made me gag. Unlike this show, which is a heartwarming show with nice people who care about each other.

Mixed-ish follows the formula of all those old Norman Lear sitcoms that wanted to use comedy to teach you lessons about something. In this case the lessons are about how we categorize each other (which is sort of the lesson of the whole -ish universe) and the laughs are supplied by a first-rate cast of actors.

This is a really cute show, sometimes very funny. I also appreciate how Bow got a bit ornery in season 2 after being so noble in season 1; it's ice it didn't ignore the inherent obnoxiousness of teenagers.

Sadly, this only lasted two seasons, but it's worth checking out.

Really wish this wasn't canceled... but of course it was! Unless the show is filled with sex, scandal, and destruction - it won't survive. :/

I wish someone would create a network for these types of shows to survive.
