I am a fan of the show. One of my coworkers cannot get passed the title. Yet, the show has comedy but truly touches on some societal issues and growing pains of kids. You have two realistic parents where both of their jobs are focused on more. Though we all knew that Claire was a lawyer, we never knew what type, and Cliff was an OB-GYN and had a clinic in his basement.
Blackish has a similar feel of a mother who is an anesthesiologist and a father who is an ad executive. Father from South Central where some episodes focus on his life growing up there and relating it to his current family. While the mother comes from a bi-racial family with a focus on a sister who is reality TV actress and brother who is in to yoga and the free living life.
What is interesting is how it gives a positive image to this generations parenting. For example as a parent of teenagers I truly can relate to the show. More importantly the show was criticized early on about the family being too rich by showing them with a S-Class Benz and a Range Rover. After the criticism the vehicles were downgraded to show the family downsizing to Buicks to save money for their kid's college fund. something that most parents these days have to deal with.
