And, if you haven't seen it yet, the premise is simple but hilarious. A wholesome, outgoing, white, midwestern family moves from their friendly part of the country to settle in a rough-around-the-edges, historically Black neighborhood in Los Angeles. Hearing that his new neighbors, the Johnsons, have just moved in, Calvin Butler (Cedric the Entertainer, "The Soul Man") re - solves to welcome the family. What he wasn't expecting, however, was to meet an overly friendly white man on the other side of the door. While the color of their skin didn't initially strike the Johnsons as a problem, they quickly learn that not everyone in their new neighbor - hood has the same experiences and perceptions of the world as they do. As the two families work together to find a common ground, a series of misunderstandings, suspicions and a healthy dose of perspective await them. New to L.A., Dave Johnson (Max Greenfield, "New Girl") and his wife, Gemma (Beth Behrs, "2 Broke Girls"), may be far friendlier than what their new neighbors are com - fortable with, but Dave, given his line of work as a professional medi- ator, simply doesn't see the racial differences as a problem. Resolved to navigate his way through any problems that come up, Dave quickly learns through an immer- sive experience that life isn't quite as simple for others as it has proven to be for him. Fans of the show will be excited to know that all "The Neighbor- hood's'" main characters are ex- pected to return for the upcoming new season. Not only are they all coming back, but Calvin and his wife, Tina (Tichina Arnold, "Ev- erybody Hates Chris"), have somehow found them- selves closer than ever to the Johnsons. Finally start- ing to see each other's side on many issues, the warm and fuzzy Johnson family has snuggled its way into the lives of the Butlers — though between stuck-in-his- ways Calvin and the realistic and focused Tina, the relationship still isn't without a bit of pushback. Other regular characters in the show include Cal- vin and Tina's sons, Malcolm (Sheaun McKinney, "Vice Princi- pals") and Marty (Mar- cel Spears, "The May- or"), and Dave and Gemma's son, Grover (Hank Greenspan, "13 Rea- sons Why"), which helps to add a tone of generational complexity as we see how age, upbringing and life experience really can make a difference on a person's perspec- tive. Tackling many tough themes — first and foremost being racism and reverse racism — the show exam- ines exactly what it means to "be- long." "The Neighborhood" takes the sensitive topics and approaches them with an often oth- er-the-top sense of humor, which is far more chal- lenging than it sounds. The re- sult of these efforts is a show that presents a lot of food for thought about the ways in which we relate to each oth- er and our often-overlooked and under-considered biases. But make no mistake, this series is definitely a comedy. In the Season 3 premiere, the Butlers and the Johnsons unite stronger than ever when a member of their community is the victim of racial injustice. The show's creator and showrunner, Jim Reynolds ("The Big Bang Theory"), was re- cently quoted as saying, "We really have a responsibility to use our platform to say something — both to validate and honor the experi- ences of some of our audience, while also trying to give insight to and enlighten other parts of our au- dience." And so far, the sitcom has done just that. Last season wrapped up with Dave running for city council. Having tried desperately to get Calvin's support for his campaign (Calvin happens to be a well-re- spected member of the local community), his efforts fell short as Calvin refused to believe that Dave had any real chance of beating the current incumbent, Isaiah Evans (Wayne Brady, "Whose Line Is It Anyway"). Completely in tune with his char- acter, Dave was determined to prove Calvin wrong, but when a compromising photograph in- volving Dave's "Dukes of Hazzard"-themed 10th birthday party and a Confederate flag birthday cake mysteriously comes to light, it threatened to derail Dave's campaign completely.
