Fans Weigh In On ‘Mixed-ish’ Series Premiere
ABC
By Essence · Updated December 6, 2020

Black-ish spin-off Mixed-ish has finally arrived!

The series follows the childhood of black-ish matriarch Rainbow Johnson (Tracee Ellis Ross) as her family adjusts to a new life after leaving a commune.

Created and executive produced by Ross and black-ish creator Kenya Barris, the series premiere Tuesday night and viewers were quick to share their thoughts about the new ABC series.

They did a really good job of segueing into Mixed-ish. The pilot episode was really good.

— Pretty RickyπŸ‡¬πŸ‡© (@RealTwiinstar) September 25, 2019

If you’re mixed or have hippie parents I recommend Mixed-ish on ABC, which is a spinoff of Black-ish that I 1000% relate to. The first episode was hilarious, educational, and enlightening.

Thats the Tweet..
That is all..

Is Mixed-ish gonna talk about dark skinned biracial people too, or just the lightskinned racially ambiguous ones?

Like, if y’all are gonna do this I need more nuance in this discussion

— TokuThoTsu (@TheJoaninJonin) September 25, 2019

Don’t know how I feel about Mixed-Ish yet! Wasn’t a strong first episode but has potential x

— Nikki πŸ‘ΈπŸΎ (@NikNaks_x) September 25, 2019

Mixed-ish is my show of the season.

For the first time in the history of EVER, I feel represented on network television.

My parents also avoided talking about race with me. My dad isn't my biological dad. I thought I was white until I started kindergarten.

This show gets me.

— Amanda S. Whitt (@amandaswhitt) September 25, 2019

During her cover shoot with ESSENCE, Ross stated that the show was a “slide backward to Bow Johnson’s childhood.” The actress added that “it’s a little different than the other ishs because it’s not current day.”

Article continues after video.

Mixed-ish stars Arica Himmel, Tika Sumpter, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Mykal-Michelle Harris, Ethan William Childress, Gary Cole and Christina Anthony.

The series also features a theme song from Mariah Carey called “In the Mix.”
