What happened to Jamie Foxx's career

It's No Fresh Prince Or Cleveland Show...

Dear, oh dear, oh dear...Formulaic, telegraphed 'jokes'. Stereo types a plenty. Breaking the 4th wall just to explain the jokes to us 'normal' people.
You might hope it gets better once the characters are bedded in, it doesn't.
Jamie Foxx wants to be portrayed as an irresistible stud, but fails. End of.

WHY?

This is the only question that comes to mind while watching this terrible attempt at comedy. I love Jamie Foxx, but wtf was he thinking with this?! It's really bad, I couldn't make it through the first episode. Very outdated humour, not funny at all and terrible terrible acting! Avoid!
What was Jamie Foxx thinking?

I luv Jamie Foxx, and really wanted to like this show.
Sadly, it just isn't funny. The 4th wall breaks are contrived and the 'canned' laugh track is irritating.
1st rule of comedy? It's gotta be funny. This isn't that.
Bad writing, acting, directing as well.
Skip this and watch anything else. You'll thank me....

Who gives a Foxx?

Full disclosure: I only watched the first episode and for that alone I feel like I deserve an award.
It was the saddest, unfunny 25 minutes of my life and I've seen Pootie Tang. This would not have made it to pilot in the 90's let alone 2021. I get it - if Jamie Foxx did this purely to give his daughter's career a push then fine. But why did it have to be a humorless bore?
Hopefully, Corrine Foxx learnt a few things here as writer/executive producer and I wish her nothing but success.
However, I don't know which hurt more - the disappointment of an unfunny Jamie Foxx sitcom or the fact I missed an opportunity for a power nap.

Netflix, Stop.

This is one of the worst shows I've ever seen. I didn't even smile, let alone laugh. Netflix has a lot of money. They throw cash around wherever they feel like wasting it. I have no idea how this show got greenlit. I could only stomach 1 episode. Don't waste your time, people.
No.. No.. No

The writing is awful and not at all funny. The jokes, if we dare call them that, are flat or simply nonexistent. The fact that Jamie Foxx and David Alan Grier started their respective careers in comedy and are apart of this is just a travesty. Both men are very talented and were some of the funniest cast members on In Living Color. The initial idea had a crumb of potential, but the execution has proven to be absolutely horrendous.
Yes i agree stop this embarrassement!!!!
yilmazc-8944814 April 2021
Did not expect much just a few laughs and a casual sitcom to binge, well was i wrong!!!
Cringeworthy scenes and jamie fox thinking everything i do is funny, well hate to break the news to you jamie you aint funny!
Does no one of the crew ore production team say after making one episode "guys this is bad really bad we have to change the script" i guess not!
Well there were a lot of fake laughs during the making of this show i can guarantee that!
Little more control over your projects is hard needed netflix.
Do not waste your time on this, i would recomment the really funny show gentefied.

rocketwoods15 April 2021
I don't know if Netflix needed to fill slots or just wanted Jamie Foxx to be happy. Don't get me wrong.. I love Jamie Foxx and all his work, but this just wasn't it. It's something to put on to fall asleep to or just have some noise in the background while on zoom. Love the casting but it just falls flatter than most reboots.
Don't waste your time

Has Potential
npcg4 June 2021
In my personal opinion as some had mentioned that 4th wall breaking was annoying and unnecessary. I cringed at the title of the show but still thought it had potential. I think the whole show tried to focus way too much on the father/daughter relationship from the beginning and it would have been nice to develop the characters a little more first. As a person that has lived with 7 people in one house, there was too much gathering going on that wouldn't happen in real life. I enjoyed the character playing the aunt. I don't enjoy the cop character as they tried too hard to make him look weak from the beginning. I hope they change the name of the show and its tough making a show featuring a minor but hopefully the "child" character can come back older and the show can have more adult jokes to play with.
A sad mash up of basic sit com tropes
mandaangar16 April 2021
Enjoyable sitcoms are when they are able to create emotional attachment with the audience the first or second episode. There was hardly any creativity or interesting backstory build up. Enforced negative stereotypes about the black community. Disappointed because there were amazing actors in the cast.
Good start! Light and Funny👍
NFY0014 April 2021
Congrats Jamie Foxx and Jim Patterson.✌
The pilot episode was a bit off, but they really picked it up from the 2nd episode onwards. I enjoyed it because its light, funny, and approachable to social matters that happen in real life and to real ppl with a zest of comedy.
Hoping to see a season 2. And please do not compare it to other sitcoms because each should stand on its own with its own storyline.

Tries too hard to be funny
swangzmaswanganye14 April 2021
This show tried too hard to be funny and missed the point completely. I love Jamie but this show is a NO. David Allen Grier is one of the funniest black men in Hollywood and even his excellence couldn't save this train wreck of a show. The references to popular culture are appreciated but Netflix should NOT have picked this up, 'the single black dad raising a child with a mother who has passed away' thing is overly done now (Keenan). Cancel this show, go back to the sitcoms drawing board and give us something else that will be enjoyable.
stop watching after 2nd ep
mariosimonovic14 April 2021

I rated this a 2 only because of David Alan Grier because he's really a very good actor and deserves a better show than this. This show is not the opportunity he had hoped it would be. I watched a backstory interview about this show between David A Grier and Jamie Foxx. Mr Grier was so hopeful about working with Mr Foxx but this is not good.
