“Everybody Hates Chris” — Everybody Hates Gambling
Tanya schools Drew in a cut-throat game of checkers.
Everybody Hates Chris is basically the show for which DVRs were made. You always forget about it until it shows up in your list one night and you think to yourself, “Hey, that’s a pleasant surprise.” Then you flip it on and for thirty minutes keep thinking about how wonderful the show is and how you should tell more people about it, only for the program to end, put something else on, and then completely forget about it until the next time your handy little machine decides to surprise you.
Lucky for me, I have this here television blog to keep the dream alive (or at least until the post works its way down on the page to where no man, woman or child dares scroll), so check out the show. It won’t change your life, but what does? It skews to the better side of the television universe and deserves to be watched.
As for the episode itself, Terry Crews and Tichina Arnold again prove they are two of the best comic actors working on television. The brilliance of their characters is that they are being portrayed through the eyes of a fourteen year old, which allows them to be much bigger in their performances than any of the kids on the show, who come off as any kid you’ve ever met.
