Are We There Yet?

Based on the Ice Cube movie franchise Are We There Yet?, this series continues off from the sequel movie Are We Done Yet?.

AWTY: The Series stars the funny Terry Crews as Nick Persons, who is married to his wife Suzanne Kingston-Persons (the talented Essence Atkins) and have 2 children: Kevin (Coy Stewart) and Lindsey (Teala Dunn), along with Nick's mother Marilyn (the funny Telma Hopkins). Outside of the family, Nick has his best friend Martin (Christian Finnegan), and Suzanne's best friend and co-worker Gigi (the sassy Keesha Sharp).

We also do get Ice Cube (who's also the executive producer of the series) as Suzanne's brother Terrence, so if you liked the AWTY movies, give the TV series a shot and see for yourself.

I'm sorry but Essence Atkins character Suzanne was miserable and miserable to watch. She was jealous, mean, controlling, distrusting, rude, arrogant and just a complete disaster. I was SO happy she wasn't in season 2. The show was fine without her.

I get it she had a bad relationship with the kids dad but she never reached an arc of crusty. She just stayed miserable and unhappy unless things were going her way and Terry Cruz's character was just weak.

He never stood his ground and was constantly groveling to appease his miserable wife. The only enjoyable thing about the show was her absence and the kid from next door.

Oh and Gigi and Martin were awesome! I know the show is old but my gawd was that 1st season unbearable to watch with her.

I gave 5/10 because the last 2 seasons were great w/o her.

I'm quite a fan sitcoms and I've probably seen most of the reasonably good ones by now. I also tend to follow the supposedly mediocre. However, this sitcom is by far the worst one I've seen. The jokes just fall flat; I'm sorry, but that's the way it is.

The show deals with marital life and unfortunately the points it tries to make are dismissed far too easily. They're also generic and the jokes used to make them are uninspired. There simply isn't any innovative subject matter like in Seinfeld, Frasier, The Big Bang Theory or other great sitcoms.

I don't usually review IMDb items, but after seeing this I felt compelled to warn others.

Talking in the kitchen after smelling cinnamon toast, Keesha Sharp tells Essence Atkins that she is between boyfriends and mentions she could sell a "J. Crew" sweater online to help "TIE" her over while she's in between boyfriends. The CORRECT phrase is "TIDE" over. It's only one letter but it make all the difference in what's being said. Take the extra time and make sure whatever it is you are trying to say is actually the right expression. Way too many take short cuts and use adages improperly. Let's get back on target and respect our language while we can still speak and write it. Please. There may be a time in our future that what we say and communicate will be edited and restricted base on the content. At least use the proper words.

I just discovered this show through Samsung Tv plus and must say that I have fallen in love with it. I watch it almost every day. It's just an all around feel good show that keeps me laughing and in my happy place.
