Blind Item #4

The creator of one of the bigger hits on ABC not named Shonda feels like the network has really morphed the show into something he does not recognize. He said he never thought it would happen but this A- list comic actress who had a similar type show says she told him from day one what would happen and to not sign with the network if he was not prepared for it.

Makes sense. He's said as much.

Blackish? Anthony Anderson & traci ellies Ross?

Probably Margaret Cho

Phyllis Whitweed said...

This isn't even a blind. Huang left the show in disgust a while ago and was interviewed a few times about it. The comedian is Margret Cho.

So what did ABC do to it??

Sounds like Fresh off The Boat. I'm not sure what his original vision for the show was, but I like the show for what it is, a light hearted "Family" comedy that is actually appropriate for the whole family. This and the Goldbergs are 2 of the very few shows on network TV that I'm comfortable watching with my 8 yr old daughter. There are many shows I watch that she can't and many she watches that I'm bored to tears with, so it's nice to have a couple of things we both enjoy together.

Yes Roseanne was very annoying ?

The Real O'Neals. Martha Plimpton as actress, created by Dan Savage.

Eddie Huang wrote an autobiographical book about his childhood in Orlando as the kid of two Chinese immigrants. From what I've read, he was brutally honest about how his father was abusive and the racism he experienced as the one of the only Asian kids in his neighborhood. It's a dark story and he was upset that ABC turned it into a sunny, family sitcom.

I agree. To me, the blind really is who was the comedic actress who told him not sign with the network.

longtimereader said...

So why move to orlando then?

stiles said...
