Kenan

I just don't get it. Kenan is funny. Whoever is writing this mess is like trying to make him not as funny. The lines are terrible. Don Johnson is not a comedic actor. Chris Redd is trying too hard and so is the lady who plays Tamika. The kids are just not adding anything to the plot or the comedic factor. I don't know what happened here, but it's a no for me.

Maybe it will get better. The idea is great but I feel a lot of restraint which leads to a lot of the jokes falling flat.

With so many seasoned comics, this show had a lot of potential. Unfortunately, that potential was not reached. Kenan plays "Kenan", a widowed father., and like many of it's predecessors, the premise relies on secondary characters to help the single parent but in actuality only helps to create more characters and storylines. It has the feel of a school play and is actually pretty dull. It has heart, but no humour. Kenan should stick to his day (or in this case Saturday night) job.

Love Thompson and Redd on SNL, so maybe I was expecting more. One of the few shows I've seen that would benefit from a laugh track. It's just not that funny. Plus, I can't stand shows when children talk like 40 year old tv writers.

There's a lot to enjoy about the show. Kenyan kills it. Honestly, he's the only reason I've gotten through the first episodes. In fact, all the characters are great. However, the main character's wife died and every episode is linked to her death. I hope the show evolves beyond this. The concept is a little tiring and a little depressing especially for a sitcom. I hope they rework what the show is about and let the actors and characters be fun.
