It's back.
ABC acquired the rights to Kids Say The Darndest Things, which now is set up in the middle of the network's Sunday night block, coupled with America's Funniest Home Videos for a 2 hour family block in the first half of the schedule.
Actress-comedienne Tiffany Haddish (ex-The Carmichael Show), who also does Groupon commercials on radio, is the new host (scandal scarred Bill Cosby hosted the last CBS version), and it feels like she's in her element.
Not much has changed, save maybe for video vignettes. Tiffany will go out "in the field", if you will, gathering material. One such case involves singer Taylor Swift......
Ratings competition is the problem here, as Kids airs opposite the likes of God Friended Me (CBS), The Simpsons (Fox), Sunday Night Football (NBC), & Batwoman (CW). Most of the key demographic groups, then, are covered. ABC has to hope ratings from DVR & On Demand screenings can help.
Rating: A.

It's kind of funny that ABC would choose Tiffany Haddish to host a family friendly show like this one, since on stage and in films she tends to work pretty blue. But hey, if Redd Foxx could make the jump to prime-time, so can she.
Maybe they see her as the Anti-Cosby?
