It's just some of us
jamjohnx328 July 2021
UPN's last year was infamously tumultuous. One on One managed to "remix" itself into a worse show and All of Us saw something of a soft reboot after Elise Neal left the show. Rather than recast Tia, the show opted to change its entire concept, which was loosely based on Will and Jada Pinkett Smith's marriage. This reboot saw several other characters ejected from show with the main cast experiencing some massive shifts in personality and priorities, resulting in a more generic sitcom. Dirk spends all of 30 seconds catching the audience up on a series of gut-punching retcons that reveal Tia wasn't really pregnant (??) and ran out on Robert, leaving the audience reeling. Welcome to the new status quo!

Bobby has devolved into a brat. Robert, once a responsible family man, spends every episode chasing a different woman. And Neesee begins abandoning any boundaries she had as a divorced mom. Despite the network's claims that the changes were to shake the show up and make it less predictable, it's pretty obvious that the writers are doing everything in their power to shove Robert and Neesee back together. Neesee's apartment burns down and she moves in with Robert - things only get more absurd from there, and they start to make decisions no divorcees would realistically make.

Some of Us isn't as bad as the last season of One on One, but it's not good either.
