Are we there yet?

I'm sure everyone remembers the movie, Are we there yet? (2005).  Great movie!  Great story line! Great leading actors!  Ice Cube and Nia Long.  


Well now there's a sitcom on TBS called, Are we there yet?  I would imagine that this show is based on the movie.  I've suffered through 3 1/2 episodes of this show and I must say that it sucks.  







First of all, who did the casting?  Terry Crews and Essence Atkins make a horrible couple.  There's nothing believable about this relationship.  It's refreshing to see new kids getting their start on a sitcom, but those kids are extremely corny.  They bore me to death.  The wife's best friend/side kick is more interesting than anyone in the house and even she's not that interesting.  


I really think Ice Cube dropped the ball on this one.  The show will get a 10 episode test run.  I'm not wishing bad on the show but I don't see this show passing the test.  


I think they should go back to the drawing board and start all over.  The concept of the movie was good, and I could see it as a sitcom, just not this sitcom.  They should find an entirely new cast, get a new script and try again. (The one person they should keep is Telma Hopkins.  I loved her in Family Matters and Half & Half!  She's funny and could help bring the show to life.)


2 thumbs down for Are we there yet? the sitcom.
