nicepebbles November 22, 2014 Share November 22, 2014 My pick for Bow's patents: Alfre Woodard and Alan Alda and her mom being hippier than the dad. I've haven't seen the latest episode so maybe they had them on. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/18471-speculation-and-wishlist-for-black-ish/

Rinaldo November 22, 2014 Share November 22, 2014 @nicepebbles , I was thinking Michael Gross (similar "sensitive New-Age guy" vibe to Alda), but I can't do better than Alfre Woodard. Few great actresses (which she is) are willing to be downright silly if the part calls for it, but she is. She'd be a good match for her daughter that way. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/18471-speculation-and-wishlist-for-black-ish/#findComment-592398

mojito December 10, 2014 Share December 10, 2014 I like Michael Gross better than Alan Alda, only because Alda's pushing 80. Would like to see someone who hasn't already played that kind of part, though. Treat Williams, Kelsey Grammar, Harry Anderson. I just kinda picked them randomly. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/18471-speculation-and-wishlist-for-black-ish/#findComment-637725

mojito December 11, 2014 Share December 11, 2014 Lynn Whitfield. I haven't seen her in a long, long time. I'm fine with that pick, too. I like allowing actors to act and play parts that we're not accustomed to seeing them play. Usually, they don't disappoint.

Inquisitionist December 11, 2014 Share December 11, 2014 I like Michael Gross better than Alan Alda, only because Alda's pushing 80. Michael Gross would be a great, age-appropriate choice (b. 1947 to Alda's 1936). He'd pair up nicely with either Alfre Woodard (1952) or Lynn Whitfield (1953). They have to age Laurence Fishburne (1961) quite a bit for his role (Jennifer Lewis, too, 1957).

DollEyes December 12, 2014 Share December 12, 2014 I would like to see Jeremy Sisto do a guest spot as one of the Johnson's new neighbors, who could just happen to be gay. It could also be a shout-out to Suburgatory and a Law & Order reunion with Anthony Anderson, his former co-star of the latter. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/18471-speculation-and-wishlist-for-black-ish/#findComment-646340
nicepebbles December 19, 2014 Author Share December 19, 2014 I like Lynn Whitfield as her mom. If Bow has siblings (can't remember if they've said), I suggest Jesse Williams and Persia White. JW plays/ed a doctor on Grey's Anatomy. He can be a doctor on this show and Bow can be all proud her baby bro is a doctor, too. He's biracial and gorgeous. PW can play a straight-laced character, a reformed hippie. We'd see shades of her character from Girlfriends where she worked with TER. She's biracial and very attractive as well.

The Fabulous.Miss.Diana.Ross.I definitely want t to see Diana Ross on the show, but not as Bow's mom.ETA: the primary, though not only reason, is that I think it would be difficult to get her to guest star a few times per year. On that note, Tracee's brother Evan and his awful awful wife can please stay the hell away.
