All American in the Media

[KWalkerInc]

This show only airs here the following morning on TLC, but I was surprisingly able to mostly ignore the huge nonstop countdown to a reality show premiere that was in the corner of the screen the whole time!  It seemed a little weird that Jennifer had to have Monet describe the basic premise of the show.  This is the sixth season and that's more of a question about a brand new show.  She should have at least asked Daniel.  I didn't know much about the cast before the show, so I didn't know Bre-Z was on Empire.  That must have been early, as Jennifer said she appeared later and I remember Jennifer singing a song she did on Empire as part of the alleged series finale of American Idol in 2016.  (I only watched Star (ugh), which is why I recorded All American the first season.)

I'm glad the fan acted more normal when she hugged Michael and Greta.  I think they were frightened by the videos.  I'm sure she can probably back up her insistence that Jordan and Layla would be together even in season 1, but I don't think the writers had thought of it yet, as I don't remember them really talking that much that season.

I laughed when Jennifer was trying to make Samantha back up Bre-Z's rap and gave her the mic, and Samantha wisely just sat there.  I think Bre-Z wanted Jennifer to sing something in the background.  That would have been cool.

I skipped some of the episode that the cast wasn't in, but it was funny that Jennifer was giving her BFF a painting she had done of him, as the episode where that was made was the only other episode I've watched (for Cher).  She and her friend were doing a painting challenge, and he didn't seem shy in that episode.

The CW Bosses Explain Why ‘All American’ & ‘Walker’ Aren’t On Its Fall Schedule

Quote

All American has a slightly different financial model, given its deal with Netflix. “That makes it a little more interesting for everybody,” he added. “We’ll be making a decision on that soon. We’re talking about it right now.”

Like, I get what Daniel is saying, but Spencer is the point of the show.  I’m not sure how the rest of the cast can carry it, unless we are gearing up for Coop and Patience Go To Yale, which I can fully get behind.

Jordan, Layla and Coop show.

I'm not sure why Variety found it so shocking.  It is a lot of departures, but the headline writer at least must not have known anything about how the storylines ended up at the end of season 6.  Asher was the only one who seemed set up to possibly return.  I think I was zoning out while reading an article about new cast members, but I think it mentioned a new coach at Beverly?  That could mean that Coach Mrs. Montes moved to New York to be closer to her husband, and maybe Asher got on his staff again.

Coop was up in the air at the end of the season, and I'm not sure how this will really go without Spencer, Patience, Laura and even her friend Asher.  She does have connection to Layla, but they even had a line in the show this past season about how seldom she talked to Jordan.  If they give Coop a new love interest, I will NOT like her.  She could be around Preach (if he's still around) and Amina.  What happened to Deion?  I have no idea who Khalil is, unless it's that guy who used to be Deion's friend.  The CW is looking for more total viewers and I don't know that this will move things in that direction.

I do remember reading an article last season that they were going to focus more on the football teams of Crenshaw and Beverly this season so it's not surprising that several cast members left. Although I did get the impression that Mrs. Montes would still be coach at Beverly so the casting of a new coach is a surprise to me. If I remember correctly Khalil was one of the Crenshaw football players last season.
