This series is on DVD now, I ended up watching the entire season the first night. It was pretty funny and made me nostaligic for the films. I really wish they had a chance to come back for another season but I guess the fanfare wasn't there the first time around.I really hope they come back with one last movie with the entire cast past and present! Honestly could anyone even imagine a Friday movie with Craig, Money Mike, Smokey, Day-Day, Pinky and Deebo? Plus the other random characters like Ezhel the crack head, Uncle Elroy and Damon. I think Ice Cube and company owe that to us fans! Who do I call to make that dream come true lol??

Racist then, racist now

Warning: Spoilers
Pretty bad to be honest.
For one, it is nothing like Friday. The humor is not the same, the characters are not the same (Craig is a bum instead of a down-on-his-luck first time weed smoker, Smokie is a crackhead instead of a weed smoker/seller, and the dad is really threatening/angry). The characters are ALL portrayed in a negative light with no redeeming qualities. And oddly enough, the white characters are all drawn in a beautiful manner and are either portrayed in a positive light (such as the white girl who goes missing) or have very few stereotype jokes made about them (such as the army recruiter). The jokes are not even funny. Its a shame this is in the Friday universe.
Two... its racist. The jokes aren't even DefJam kinda humor where its shocking and laughing at stereotypes of people. Its just blatantly making fun of black people, while barely ever making fun of the other races. So its focused on black people as a crutch for cheap laughs. Really unacceptable imo.
This makes sense though, because it comes from Ice Cube's CubeHumor Production company, which is the same production company that created Black. White, which was an extremely racist tv show in which white people dressed up like black people with blackface and black people dressed up like white people with whiteface, so that both races could "see what its like to be the other race". In reality, it was just constantly making fun of both races. But at least that show attempted to focus on making fun of people other than black people.
This cartoon is garbage. Skip it and watch Mike Tyson Mysteries.... hilarious cartoon that makes fun of everyone (including itself) without sacrificing the characters, story, or fairness. 4 seasons @ 70 episodes, compared to this junk that is only 8 episodes long.
