It is, in short, a show about real life, as seen through the eyes of one of the funniest men in America.

Blends Rock's signature, whip-smart irreverence with richly humorous, character-driven stories of his own adolescence to create the rare family comedy that is both hilariously honest and filled with heart.

The show isn't really about Chris Rock's childhood is Bed-Stuy (which could be obvious), but that doesn't make it a bad show. The show is downright hilarious, and I have laughed hysterically at this show in the past. With race and black culture jokes and satire thrown in for good measure, it actually does a good job at showing people what all-black neighborhoods were like in the 1980s. This show actually does a good job at exaggerating some stuff for comedic effect, as does Chris Rock himself with the narration, which is also outrageously hilarious. This show is easily one of my favorites ever, and always will be. Unless you don't like the subject at hand, you will definitely laugh out loud at this hysterically funny sitcom.

The best of the new fall sitcoms.

The networks have been wondering how to compete with the no-holds barred nature of cable programming. This is it.

Rock deals with a harsher teen reality than Cosby did in his Fat Albert days, but he is hitting the same universal notes of conflict, love, weirdness and strength found in close-knit families.

Should appeal to fans of Rock and to viewers who long for a family comedy reminiscent of "The Cosby Show" (albeit with a sharper edge).

What's missing here are the big laughs, despite Rock's clever narration.

Very good! I own every series and they are easily re-watchable. Good humour, and just overall fun! Tyler James Willam is a brilliant fit for Chirs. Terry Cruise just adds to the humour!

A very clever funny show that is both original and fun to watch. It has references to the present about the past and references to those great 80s moments that they relive. For example Chris tries to go to a Run DMC concert and when he misses it, Greg tells him Aerosmith was there and sang Walk this way. Very classic 80s moment.

This show had so much potential. It's nostalgic for those of us who grew up in the 80s. It's also nostalgic for me because I was a black kid in a majority white school. I enjoy the young actors (the siblings and classmates) which are the funnier scenes. I also enjoy the cameos of actors from older sitcoms. BUT IMO the show went wrong with over-emphasizing Chris Rock's commentary. If Chris Rock tells a joke, no need to re-enact it. The joke alone could stand on it's own. This show tried too hard to make you laugh with the re-enactments and the parents. This show had so much potential!
