When I first watched Blackish I felt the same as I did watching Family Reunion. It was ok. I really hated the title "Blackish". But after many episodes the acting got better and it's one of my favorites now. I think the same will happen with this series. If you keeps watching you'll see the actors become better as the get use to working with each other. In comedies timing is everything and you can see the improvement from the 1st episode and episode 5 & 6. I'm enjoying the series hope they get to do a second season. One question? Who are the people at the end of each episode? The dedications.
