I don’t see it making it.

I actually enjoy the show. It's only 1 of 2 that I watch on a regular basis (that and The Goldbergs).



That's unfortunate if they cancel. At least we can't dispute the fact that they had a diverse cast, so it's not "too white".

Seriously? What has an all white cast anymore? Not even commercials.

Good. We're a diverse nation whether some people like that or not.

Actually it is reverse racism. 13.8 % black, 5% gay, 5% mixed race couples, and yet nearly 100% of all TV shows and commercials have all and many all three.

So you think television and movies should go back to 100% white, 100% straight?

If you don't like to watch the program(s), don't.

First, why on earth do you worry about stuff like this? Either you like a show or you don't.

Another thing to consider... percents are thrown off by old people. 98% of all old couples are same race, it's the younger ones that have moved forward. And younger couples are by far more dominant on TV. Same for other stats.

It's nice that all people can see themselves on TV.

Programs should be more representative of real life. The current situation is discrimination against white, straight people
And for the record, I have gay friends and relatives and black friends. And one of my granddaughters is biracial.

I can't think of a scripted television show that is "representative of real life".
