The Michael Blackson Show

Whoever wrote the screenplay for this show should never write again---no wonder this wasn't renewed. He did the worst he possibly could with a cast that had lots of potential. The directing is subpar at best and in the very first episodes you begin identifying which characters are moderately likeable and which ones you will hate (spoiler, you probably won't like Michael). Perhaps if he wasn't written to be so timid and awkward, his vulgar nature (which I understand to be a very essential part of his character) would be more tolerable. I made an IMDB account solely to critique the writing in this show. It is absolutely horrible. The plotlines are bad, Africans are insulted in every scene, and Black stereotypes run absolutely rampant. This is a good show to put on as background or maybe if you want a laugh or two, but otherwise, stay away.

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised how funny this was gonna be. I haven't laughed this much from watching a sitcom in a long time. There wasn't one dull moment.

Micheal Blackson plays Micheal Black, a womanizing and fouled mouth single guy from West Africa who takes a job as a teacher in an intercity High school in Chicago. He is assigned to teach a class with troubled kids who frequently terrorizes there new instructor and causes each one to quit shortly . But the misbehaving kids end up being shocked when Mr. Black does not back down from there cruel jokes about his appearance and foreign accent and in return makes negative remarks and brutal jokes about each and everyone of them. Even though he is hot headed and foul mouthed, Mr. Black still has a goal of having all his students achieve and the kids soon begin to warm up to him a little. And Mr. Black frequently helps the troubled students out of bad situations.

The supporting cast is hilarious also! This is really good for anyone who likes x rated jokes and a lot of swearing because this has it all. They really don't hold anything back with this comedy. It's something different. And really enjoyable with its bold humor.

I really hope this show gets a second season because it's funny in this age now of sensitivity and cancelled culture.

This show is not perfect by any standard but Michael Blackson is a master comedian and this is one of the freshest shows I've seen for years. Found this by complete accident but it's brilliant stuff. There are some tedious sub-plots involving students but the rest of the cast of teachers/friend/landlady are quality. I can't believe this has been axed yet the consistantly bad and unfunny Tyler Perry gets a new series. Makes no sense at all. If you're easily offended, as some young people are these days, then you probably won't like it. Adding more words to stretch this out to get the 600 minimum.

I didn't think this show would be that funny for this show was hilarious, kind of reminds me of what we have been missing in having a good TV show on these days. There are so many shows that that are getting certain publicities that appear garbage, this show is not one of them. I think you need to be pushed a little bit more and it needs to be shown for how funny it really is. I was just sure we'll be able to last a long time on TV so we are able to laugh hysterically during the times that we have in this crazy world that we live in. Michael Blackson is a true comedian and the way he relates to those kids shows you it is stuff that we as adults want to say but can't say but he clearly says it.

Not a show I would typically watch but thought it was hilarious! I had never heard of Michael Blackson prior to this show but it is crazy that there's only 4 episodes out so far. I hope that they keep this show going for more seasons. One character I couldn't help keeping an eye on was Ursula Walker. Really hoping they show more of her. Her character is so funny, fresh, and kept hoping I'd see more of her! She seems super genuine and could be a great character to dig more into. Here's to hoping that the series continues and we get to learn more about this school, these teachers and these students!
