An episode of ABC’s “black-ish” was yanked from this season’s lineup after the show’s creator, Kenya Barris, and the network were unable to come to an agreement over how the episode handled certain social issues.
“Given our creative differences, neither ABC nor I were happy with the direction of the episode and mutually agreed not to air it,” Barris said in a statement.
An ABC representative echoed that sentiment: “One of the things that has always made ‘black-ish’ so special is how it deftly examines delicate social issues in a way that simultaneously entertains and educates. However, on this episode, there were creative differences we were unable to resolve.”
