Everybody Hates Chris received critical acclaim. The American Film Institute selected Everybody Hates Chris as one of the best 10 television series of 2007, stating that the show "provides a very real look at growing up in America — a challenge that demands a discussion of race and class often absent from television today."[3] Everybody Hates Chris was named one of the Best School Shows of All Time by AOL TV.[4] Common Sense Media's Marjorie Kase and Shanel Walker & Emily Kofoed gave the show 4 stars, and said it was "a prime example of how to take serious issues and approach them in a humorous yet thought-provoking way. The series is innovative, funny, and stereotype-defying -- enjoyable for teens and their parents."
Nicki is such an icon for girls, especially young black girls. I hope she pushes social commentary in to the comedy a bit. I wonder if she will include an episode/ scene about her Dad burning her house.
