Looks like UPN could have hit with this one. It's really funny! Chris Rock is in the show but he is narrating the show while Tyler James Williams plays the 13 year old version of Chris Rock. At first when I heard about this show I thought it was going to be a show where Chris Rock was playing a TV sitcom dad or something. "Everybody Hates Chris" is another one of the best new comedies of 2005! The show is about Chris Rock's life as 13 year old and how he thought being a teenager was going to be fun when it turns out that it wasn't what he expected it to be and it shows on how he grew up in Brooklyn, New York with his younger brother and sister and his strict, hard-working parents. Chris Rock's off-camera narration is another plus for the series, along with the musical soundtrack, featuring hit songs from the era. If there is justice in the Emmy Awards next year, Arnold should walk away with a statue. Adult actors Terry Crews and Tichina Arnold as Chris's parents bring about the right balance of humor and authority to their roles. The other kids in the cast (Taquan Richmond as younger, but larger, brother, Drew Vincent Martella as Chris's friend Greg, and Imani Hakim as younger sister Tanya) are equally gifted, never appearing to be acting, just being youngsters. His expressive face and on-time delivery makes him one of the best child stars in the business. The performers are impressive, especially Tyler James Williams as the title character. Besides being one of the best acted series in production today, the show has a stellar writing staff that supplies not only laughs but biting commentary about society, the mark of a good production team. Airing on UPN, Chris Rock's "autobiographical" sitcom doesn't get the viewers that it so richly deserves.
