Anybody watching this? This week was the second episode (pilot was last week). It has Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans, Jr. in it. It’s a dumb/silly network sitcom type of show, but weirdly I like it so far, mostly because I love DW and DWJ. They basically play fictionalized versions of themselves.

The worst part by far is Essence Atkins and her talking out of half her mouth. There’s just something so off about her, it’s distracting to me.

DW is an old school radio DJ who’s sort of past his prime, and corporate forces him to add a new lady to his radio show (Atkins). DWJ is his son and neighbor and hijinx ensue. Like I said, it’s sort of silly and the humor is “networky,” but DW and DWJ goofing off with each other is entertaining to me.

Just curious if anybody else has seen it or what you think about it. I had no idea it was even a thing until I randomly saw it flipping through the cable guide over the weekend. It comes on CBS on Mondays at 7:30.

I watched the first episode but didn't care for it. I love The Neighborhood which comes on before it, but just couldn't get into this one.

I've seen the two episodes that are out. I think it has potential. Kind of refreshing from the junk out there. Not into the one hour drama stuff.

stumbled on it and watched about 2 minutes. Seemed pretty lame and I thought an In Living Color era Wayans would be ashamed of himself for the quality of the show,

That's kinda where I am on it. I'm willing to give it time to figure itself out and get better.

I've always liked Damon Wayans and wished he was in more stuff. His My Wife and Kids show was solid back in the day. So I was glad to see him back on TV again. And I've liked his son ever since Happy Endings.

I just know I'm gonna hate the inevitable pairing together of Damon and Ivy. I'm think I'm discovering that I really just seem to hate Essence Atkins.

Forget what channel (Laff maybe?) but this still comes on from time to time and i will usually stop and watch for a bit. Liked it and the white people version Grounded for Life.

Is there a Diddy cameo at any point?
