Storyline

All of Us is inspired by the domestic adventures of entertainment superstars Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith and reflects a new generation's enlightened attitude toward the extended family dynamic with humor, sensitivity and heart. Robert James, an entertainment reporter for a local Los Angeles television station whose best friend is also his publicist, the three-time divorced Dirk. Robert is handsome, smart and a thoroughly modern man in his thinking, as he should be, considering his romantic and parental entanglements. On the verge of finalizing his divorce from the somewhat self-absorbed Neesee, the mother of their endearing five-year-old son, Bobby, Jr., he is madly in love with Tia, a funny, clever kindergarten teacher. This humorous and heartwarming comedy is a fresh, timely look at many young parents' new, compassionate attitude toward how divorced parents raise their children together.

Trivia

After the third season, the show was picked up by The CW because UPN merged with The WB to form The CW. The show was originally canceled back in March along with fellow UPN show Eve, but thanks to the show's executive producer Will Smith and actor Tony Rock's brother, Chris Rock, was given the coveted slot behind Everybody Hates Chris on the new network.

Quotes

Robert James Sr.: [after Tia dreams she and Neesee are getting married, Robert discovers her packed bags at the door] Tia, why...why are you getting so worked up over a dream?
Tia Jewel: Because it's not a dream, it's reality. I marry you, I marry Neesee. I guess that makes sense because it feels like I've been dating her for the past year and a half. I go to school, she's there. I come home, she's here. I go to your office, she's there. And now, we go to sleep, and boom, there she is, right in our bed.
Robert James Sr.: Tia, I don't enjoy ...

User Reviews

Awful show

I was able to see the show during my trip to Las Vegas. My fiance and I were asked to be part of a group to watch and give our opinion of the show. Boy, maybe I just didn't get it but I did not find this show funny. I felt the jokes fell flat. In our group of fifteen, there wasn't any laughter and only one time where somebody even made a snicker. Actually the show felt like an episode of the Jerry Springer show and since I find that show tedious at best, I found this show the same.

Will I ever watch this show? I can assure you I won't and I can't see this show lasting any longer than this season if it even makes it that far.
