The Upshaws

I didn't have high hopes for this, however it was really good, tackled some great issues and wasn't overrun with ridiculous comedy.

It's not great.

The laugh tracks, for one. Do they really need to be in every single line? Most of the things they say are seriously unfunny.

Secondly, Regina's "pouting" face every time she tries to get someone to do something. It's incredibly annoying.

The kids don't know how to act, there are way too many Black stereotypes to be even remotely funny, and overall, it's just... predictable.

The only thing I actually sort of liked about this was the 'banter' between Lucretia and Bennie. But, it got a little repetitive and I could almost feel the insults coming after a while.

I don't know. Wanda Sykes: great actress. But to be honest, this was disappointing.

This is really a great show! Very funny and experienced actors/comedians at their best. Check it out!!

The actors all took a step forward and seemed to grow into their characters in Season 2. However, the writing itself seemed to take a very noticeable hit from the level we enjoyed in Season 1. If there's a Season 3, I hope they bring back Mitchell Marchand as the Executive Story Editor. I think contributions from him and Annie Levine were part of what made the show so enjoyable.

A comedy that's actually funny, I'm here for it! Epps and Sykes steal the show, they have great banter and keep the laughs rolling. Storylines are fairly well developed and the acting is decent.
