The Prank King
Dre makes a big deal about Halloween and kind of loses it when his wife and kids no longer want to celebrate the holiday by playing pranks on one another.
Every family has its own little ticks but practical jokes on Halloween was a new one on me.I didn't get or feel the whole Dad trying to force his way on the family. It got old fast. There were a few laughs here, I just had a hard time accepting this one for what it was and enjoying it as is.

Crime and Punishment
Bo wants Dre to spank Jack after he scared her. Dre agonizes over it, as do his other kids who now worry that spanking is back on the table for all of them, thank to Pops.
Not perfect but this one had some good laughs in it. My favorite sequence was a little over midway through the when Jack was using his cuteness to convince his mother that he didn't need to be spanked. The facial expressions she was making were priceless.

Crazy Mom
Dre tries to help Rainbow take care of the kids, more than he usually does. At first he is a celebrity but then it blows up in his face when he stops getting recognition for every little thing he does.
Not bad but not my favorite episode. There were some scenes that brought a smile to my face but I don't recall any laugh out loud moments. Maybe the problem was that it was just a little too formulaic or predictable.

The Nod
Andre gets very concerned when Junior doesn't nod to another black student. He quickly discovers that his son doesn't have any black friends. Even more concerned than he was before he does his best to find his son some black friends.
Rainbow gets upset after discovering that Diane wants to follow in her father's footsteps. She takes her youngest daughter to work with her at the hospital but Diane isn't impressed until she sees some of the ER patients.
Very funny. So far this show has yet to disappoint. I love the clash of cultures between the generations.

The Talk
After an unfortunate incident, Andre decides it is time to have the talk, the sex talk, with Junior. It isn't easy and he doesn't actually talk to him about sex but afterwards he feels much better about himself. While he is busy patting himself on the back Junior returns and wants to talk about sex some more. Pretty soon this becomes a regular thing to the point where Andre can't stand it and starts avoiding Junior.
Rainbow has a similar experience experience with Zoey. Rainbow's problem is that whenever Zoey starts talking Rainbow starts daydreaming and can't remember anything her daughter has said.
Lots of chuckles. Very funny. I'm far from ready to stop watching this show.

Pilot
Andre (Anthony Anderson) feels like he is losing after (a) his promotion to Senior Vice President comes with the subtitle of Urban Affairs and (b) he learns that his older son wants to play field hockey and convert to Judaism.
This started a little slow. I smiled a few times but didn't really laugh for the first time until about halfway through the show. I'm definitely interested in watching more and seeing where exactly the show goes. Granted it is a standard sitcom on one level but from what I've heard it is also more than that.
