Blackish

Three weeks in a row and BCTV Sunday Slices is already our longest and most meaningful relationship (make of that what you will).

News on Daria spinoff series Jodie appears to be an annual thing. Nearly two years after the project was announced and a year after it was announced that Black-ish star Tracee Ellis Ross was set to star and executive produce, the adult animated comedy series has found a home at Comedy Central.

On the surface, Kenya Barris and ABC-Disney appear to be a match made in heaven, with the Black-ish creator currently shepherding three series on air. His aforementioned series is readying for its fifth season on ABC, with spinoff Grown-ish and newly picked-up Besties finding homes at Freeform (and Barris still has the pilot Bright Futures […]

So it's time to raise your glass if you are wrong in all the right ways, all my underdogs! We will never be – never be – anything but loud and nitty-gritty, dirty little… The Weekly Static!
