Everybody Hates Chris (2005–2009)
7/10
Cute..but not cute enough to help the UPN Network.

Warning: Spoilers
First and foremost...you have to want to KNOW about Chris Rock's childhood and in turn...find that interesting. If you do, you'll like this show and see enough similarities in your own childhood to like it. That depends on your childhood.

Chris has a lot to say...but so far...there isn't anything here I haven't already heard from his stand ups. That may be a slight hindrance to his fans, like me, who may have been seeking something a bit more 'fresher'...but for others who may not have seen all/any of his stand-up routines over the years this many be interesting.

This is a nice little show about a kid in the 80's going through MANY growing pains: environment - family - being the oldest sibling with increasing responsibilities - school - discipline - etc., and trying to find his place in the world. Will this help the fledgling UPN network out of their slump? Not alone. But you've got to start somewhere.
