Are We There Yet? (Situation comedy)

I haven't seen this show - it's brand new. It's a sitcom aimed at the African-American audience, but it's like any other sitcom these days. Single mother with two kids in their teens marries a handsome man.

The kids of course think they know it all, and see their new dad as just someone to take to the cleaners as he tries to become friends with them.

It's true that kids, once they reach a certain age, have always felt like they know best, better than their parents, on any subject under the sun, at the kids in this show would seem to be at that teenage level, rather than know-it-all 6 or 7 years old.

Nevertheless, based on the preview, this isn't going to be a show full of role models for African-American youth.
