Mixed-ish

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.

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.

First of all, on Black-ish, Bow's mother is a light-skinned black woman and her father is white. They have always joked on Black-ish that Bow didn't have to change her last name because both had the last name "Johnson."

For folks who are tired of the "race" narrative....well duh...the show is about a mixed-family. How do you NOT address racial issues? The grandfather is hilarious and so is Santamonica. I enjoy the show. There are a few inconsistencies with time-frames but a cute and funny show.

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!)

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.
