Jamie, Stop Embarrassing Yourself!
This show is trash. The writing is dated, heavy-handed, uninspired and dull. David Alan Grier, who is usually riotously funny and brilliant, is severely wasted here; not a single funny line or situation to enjoy from him here. The teen who plays the title daughter simply has no acting talent, no comic timing--and, I very much work ahead of her if she hopes to overcome this clunker and have a career of some kind in entertainment. The show is also contrived and ever reliant on its archaic laugh track--which seems appropriate, considering how tired and rehashed the show's jokes and premises are.Jamie Foxx should be ashamed, but he probably isn't. The show reveals how he hasn't matured in the last few decades. It's a new age and time, and he's sorely out of touch. Only arrogance could convince him this trash was worthy of being aired.
First episode, I was in awe of how bad it was. Episode two got worse, as they attempted to tackle the daughter's lack of religious belief. Ultimately, I must say that Bible believers got the brunt of the episode's badness, though it's take on non-believers left lots to be desired as well. By episode three, my wife and I bailed. Life is too short to waste time on out-of-touch, shallow, immature performer's vanity sit-coms.
I highly recommend you skip this televised travesty!
