    Grown-ish is a cell-by-cell clone of The Breakfast Club and its celebration of sophomoric melodrama, where cynical wisecracks inevitably give way to mock profundities, shouting matches to hyperemotive tears, and clichés to stereotypes. (Or maybe that one is the other way around.) The wholesale piracy is so blatant that Grown-ish even tries to make a joke or two about it. But the admission that you're stealing somebody else's work doesn't make it any less larcenous.

    As good as blackish is that’s how bad grownish is. It’s sort of a Different World-lite. The show tries to take on today’s issues, but I thinkAs good as blackish is that’s how bad grownish is. It’s sort of a Different World-lite. The show tries to take on today’s issues, but I think the writers go around them. This week’s episode about nice guy drug dealer. He was nice looking kid, but he was a drug dealer. Maybe the subject will be dealt with more seriously in the future, but from what I saw... I doubt it.

    The acting is bad, especially from the supporting actors. The writing is weak and the show has a funky tone to it. It’s not funny. Kadeem Harrison, where are you bro?    … Full Review »
