ABC Puts An Episode Of ‘Black-ish’ On The Shelf For Being Too Political

The showrunner shot the episode in November, and it was supposed to run in February. Instead, it will never be shown. The episode “features Anthony Anderson’s patriarch Dre caring for his infant son on the night of an intense thunderstorm that keeps the whole household awake. Dre attempts to read the baby a bedtime story, but abandons that plan when the baby continues to cry. He instead improvises a bedtime story that, over the course of the episode, conveys many of Dre’s concerns about the current state of the country.”
