Trivia:

Tequan Richmond auditioned for the role of Chris, but Ali LeRoi and Chris Rock thought he was 'too cool' for that role so they chose him to play Drew.

Goofs:

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In one episode, where Greg attempted to hug Chris, The adult narrator Chris made a reference to Brokeback Mountain. The movie wasn't released until 2005, and this series is set in the 1980s, but it is not the teenage Chris who makes the reference.

Quotes:

Tanya Rock: [to Chris] Ooo! I'm gonna tell Mama!

I LOVE Chris

Tonight I saw the first episode of "Everybody Hates Chris". It is the first time I have seen a "situation comedy" in years that made me laugh aloud. I do not recall there being any laugh tracks which can be so annoying, especially when the track is the only laughter.

"Everybody Hates Chris" was so cleverly written that what could have been somewhat disturbing, like the schoolyard fight,was hilarious. The characters delivered their lines brilliantly. Chris's Mom has unique and rich lines that are not only funny, but they help define her character and the situation in which Chris lives. Somehow the writers manage to keep the adversaries from being hate objects - they simply move the funny storyline along.

I LOVE it. At last a REAL comedy.
