Empire on FOX

I guess this should really be Empire on FOX part deux, the remix, the slightly swayed opinion of one man so here it go. I’ve always said that to truly give an opinion on something you must give it a chance, Ok honestly I have never said that bullshit, that is why to this day I will not try Shrimp ‘n Grits again, it’s disgusting. But anyway so I decided last night after running errands after work and arriving home around 8:45pm I would wine down my day with some TV. After watching another bullshit sob story on American idol, I am so not a fan of that silly show, it stop being about the music and became more back story dramatic nonsense, who cares if you are living the free open plains life of a hobo, escaping depression and family drama, staying on the road, moving from city to city, town to town, not settling one place for more than three days and sleeping rough outdoors with your guitar tied to you. My only question after all that is…. how did you watch the show and know where auditions would be? you’re a liar the show is shit, you sound like a constipated moose, get the hell off the TV.
So Episode one, wait no, the pilot episode was complete garbage, I covered that already here. I should not say complete garbage, but with the wardrobe fiascoes to the piss poor continuity, I mean how the hell do you miss a perm and a hair cut in while wearing the same clothes in “later that day scene”?

That said the second helping of Empire changed my mind, I will keep it on the DVR. The show is ratchetastic, completely over the top and at times just hilariously funny, like the “acting” of the youngest son, I dunno who cast him, but he sucks, as the baby of the family and arrogant little dickhead he tries his best, but he delivers his lines as if a teleprompter was just out of shot. All the other actors do a good job carrying the story but again the stylist on this show has to stop dressing “Precious” aka Gabby Sidibe in clothes that do not compliment her ample girth. Two straight weeks she just looks a hot ass mess, and it’s not just the blonde wig or that her name is “Becky”. Honestly this is not me hating on the big girl, I likes me a fluffy sauce gal every now and then, but dressed weight appropriate and nothing ms gabby is wearing is complimenting her whatsoever. The stylist as the brits would say, is taking the bloody piss.
Three things from this show set twitter ablaze last night, The Ray Rice comment, which in my opinion was out-of-order, totally not called for, should never been scripted, but that said funny as hell. The Obama Cussing Lucious , c’mon, so the bone head son has a video go viral of him calling el presidente a sell out and Lucious is on a call to the man himself next day and telling the prez about his language really? Why are they trying to make the president look like some overly sensitive emotional chic? Then came the best of all The Bib Action, which I am sure had male audience members all across America wanting to turn to their wife and say,

Why the hell aren’t you that dedicated to the cause!!

actually I am sure some men did ask the question and many probably heard

Get a bib and suck your own dick, I’m your wife not your whore!! Respect me!!

That said shout out to the brothas getting that bib action from now on. I guarantee that scene alone did for the sale of bibs what Mimi did for shower curtains rods. FOX really pushed the envelope on that one, a “BJ” or at least the hint of it on network television, that was as shocking to me as people yelling, bitch and stop being a dick! I am sure the white haters of interracial loving, if they were watching in the first place were absolutely outraged by that scene. But full standing ovation to her, maybe if more wives came off them high horse this world would be a peaceful place.

So bottom line, I am now a willing fan of the show, Taraji P aka Cookie’s fine rass is in “full mode” and doing her thing, bringing all types of sophistiratchet to primetime tv.

I’d definitely lick those Cookies

Terrence Howard character is evolving into a like/hate movement. The man shot his friend of 20 years, cousin to his ex wife, and then cried like a baby when “he hear the news”. The gay and mental health angle with the brothers, endless story lines there. The feds involvement mystery, The new star of the show Porsha, the PA with an attitude, can’t wait for her back story. Then all the guest spot celebs, from Mary J to Cuba Gooding Jr, this show will get better with time. I still think it will be cancelled, but if it does, it immediately needs to be picked up by Centric or BET. I wonder if the views for Blackish have dropped due to this show. either way it’s on the DVR. The music still sucks big time on this show, every time I hear someone says that’s hot, I’m wondering what are they listening too.

Empire on FOX absolutely Ratchetastic Entertainment
