I'm trying my best not to nitpick, but the messages are so heavy handed and forced until it takes away from the show.. You can tell each show what message they are trying to push.. it's amateurish.. I'm not sure what its even about anymore.. 2 questions though that maybe someday can answer.. When did Emmitts mom become so cool with Dre and Kevin's Mom? The first episode of season 1 she didn't know who Keisha was when she was hiding under the bed.. Also how did Sonny go from doing so well that he was opening up another restaurant and wanted Emmitt to manage one, to not being able to pay rent on one location?
