Everybody Hates Chris: TV Guide News

96 photos

A black teen in Brooklyn during the early 1980s attends a mostly white middle school in a sitcom `inspired by the childhood experiences' of comedian Chris Rock, who produces and narrates the series. Bolstered by a soundtrack that beautifully evokes the '80s, the show chronicles the life of 13-year-old Chris, whose family's penny-pinching is leavened by love (and laughs). At home, Chris helps care for his younger brother and sister, while at school he's often the target of a racist bully.

Fall TV: 90210 Anchors CW's All-New Tuesday | Today's News: Our Take | 5/13/2008 New
The CW is the latest network to spill their fall slate, and two nights — Monday (Gossip Tree Hill) and Thursday (Smallnatural) — remain unchanged.Tuesday will offer some "zip" in the form of 90210, the BH follow-up featuring an occasional drop-by from "guidance counselor" Jennie Garth. Leading out of that is Surviving the Filthy Rich (fka How to Teach Filthy Rich Girls, and starring Reba's JoAnna Garcia).Wednesday, as usual, kicks off with Top Model, now followed by Stylista, a Devil Wears Prada-esque reality series from Tyra Banks. Everybody Hates Chris and The Game, having lost their Sunday-night home, have been moved to Friday.Speaking of CW's Sunday... that's "TBA." Media Rights Capital, the firm network "outsourced" the evening to, will announce its offerings (two dramas and two comedies) at a later date. Reaper will return midseason. — MWM read more

The CW "Outsources" Its Sunday-night Block; Two Dramas, Two Comedies Coming | Today's News: Our Take | 5/9/2008
The CW has signed a deal with the production finance company Media Rights Capital to take over its Sunday-night programming block, where Everybody Hates Chris, Aliens in America and The Game currently reside. As part of the pact, MRC is contracted to develop two dramas and two comedies, and sell ad time for them.The CW (and the WB before it) traditionally has had a very rough go of it trying to gain traction with Sunday programming/ratings. It is believed that by pawning off the quagmire to a media conglomerate, the netlet can focus its attention on Monday through Friday — where, ostensibly, EHC and/or The Game could find new homes. (Per Ausiello, Aliens is a goner.) — MWMRelated:• The CW Axes Aliens in America• No Laughing Matter: CW Closes Comedy Division read more
Nick at Nite Picks Up Everybody Hates Chris | Today's News: Our Take | 3/3/2008
Nick at Nite has purchased the basic-cable-TV rights to the CW's Everybody Hates Chris.The family sitcom, which is based on comedian Chris Rock's Brooklyn upbringing, will start airing on Nickelodeon's prime-time programming block in the fall of 2009, joining other such sitcoms as Home Improvement, George Lopez and Roseanne. I have to be honest: I've never seen Rock's sitcom, though I've heard great things from my TV-critic friends. Plus, I have faith in the taste of the folks over at Nickelodeon, who, over the years, have brought us reruns of The Facts of Life, Diff'rent Strokes, Mad About You, The Cosby Show, Murphy Brown, Family Ties, Growing Pains and Designing Women.Which begs the question: Which current sitcom would you like to see on Nick at Nite? My vote: While it's technically not a sitcom, Brothers & Sisters packs more laughs into each one-hour episode than the average season of According to Jim. Your turn.... — Mickey O'Connor read more
