Why would any woman be "in love" with a man built like this?:russ:

The message is pretty clear on this one, the producer did a bad job, gotta do it more subtly
Dude built like them old school refrigerators with the rounded body style:mjlol:

I'm glad I cancelled cable years ago. Network TV and non cable shows are the worst trash on tv.

While Abishola's instincts tell her to remain cautious of Bob's interest, her girlfriends at the hospital are as tickled about the courtship as her aunt and uncle. In one eye-opening lunchtime scene, they discuss the ethnic hierarchy of who Abishola would choose to marry. As her spunky busybody friend Kemi (Gina Yashere) explains, "Top of the list, Nigerian man — same tribe (Yoruba). Then, Nigerian man — different tribe (Igbo). Then, other Africans (except Tunisians and Egyptians). Obviously. Then Caribbean. Then white. Then African American."

Their other friend, a black woman named Gloria (Vernee Watson), takes offense to this, starting a hot-button debate between the two of them about anti-black propaganda. Interestingly, it's not the first time the series alludes to cultural mistrust between black Americans and African immigrants, reminding the audience that people of African descent aren't a monolithic group. I'm curious how the series will go on to explore this, though I'm wary that by continuously highlighting the friction between these two groups, the series will by default become a platform for denigrating black Americans.

Notice how when they show BM/WW swirling, the WW is darker/Italian almost racially ambiguous but the breh is light skinned to the point that only black people know he's a breh.

Seen a lot of commercials like this. They rarely show blonde/redhead obviously white broad with a dark skinned breh.

When it's BW/WM, the sista is never racially ambiguous and the white dude looks like Jim Gaffigan or some shyt.

I guess the CBS execs went back to the drawing board, and said, “let’s make king of queens, but make it ‘different’” smh
This is like this nikkas 3rd or 4th show on CBS. Plus he was on a bunch more like king of queens and everybody loves ray. All on CBS. nikka must have stock in the company or have some dirt on them
Ya'll thinking about Kevin James. This is Billy Gardell who was on that show Mike & Molly
