ALL
ALL THOSE
ALL THOSE DETAILS VISIT STEPS TO COLLEGE THAT DOT . ABC IS MIXED ISH IS RETURNING
FOR ITS SECOND SEASON
PREMIERING TOMORROW NIGHT AND
THE SHOW TAKES A FUNNY SPIN ON
CHARACTER RAINBOW JOHNSON'S
EXPERIENCE GROWING UP IN THE
1980S AS PART OF A MIXED RACE
FAMILY.
SORRY COLEMAN CHRISTINA
ANTHONY ARE TWO OF THE STARS
OF THE SHOW HERE.
DISH A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT
WE'RE GONNA SEE IN THIS SECOND
SEASON.
GOOD MORNING .
TELL US WHERE TO SEASON TWO
PICKUP FOR MIX DISH.
OH GOOD MORNING .
SEASON TWO PICKS RIGHT PICKS UP
RIGHT WHERE WE LEFT OFF THE
JOHNSON KIDS ARE STILL, YOU
KNOW, FIGURING OUT THEIR PLACE
IN THIS WORLD RACE IDENTITY
THEIR PARENTS PAUL AND ALISA.
THEM HAVING ONE BLACK PARENT
AND ONE WHITE PARENT TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT MEANS FOR
THEM.
AND SORRY AND I ARE PLAYING THE
MEDDLING AUNT AND BOUNDARYLESS
GRANDFATHER AND HELPING TO TRY
TO RAISE THE KIDS BUT NOT DOING
A REALLY GREAT JOB AT IT.
BUT HAVING FUN.
VERY INTERESTING.
>> SO ON THE SHOW ONE OF THE
CHARACTERS ACTUALLY PRETENDS TO
BE A DIFFERENT RACE.
CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
HOW THE FAMILY ADDRESSES THAT?
I THINK THE FIRST WAS SHOCKED,
A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED.
YOU KNOW, HIM NOT WANTING TO BE
WHO HE IS AND THEN I THINK
EXPLAINS LATER IT'S JUST EASIER
JUST PRETENDING TO BE A
DIFFERENT RACE IS EASIER THAN
BEING BIRACIAL.
AND I THINK THAT SOME PEOPLE
MAY REALLY BE ABLE TO RELATE TO
THAT.
>> I MEAN IT UNDERLINES THE
COMPLICATIONS OF THE THEME
OF THE SHOW ITSELF THAT YOU
KNOW, THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE'S
STORY BUT A STORY THAT REALLY
YOU KNOW, HASN'T NECESSARILY
LOOKED AT IN GREAT DETAIL, I'M
TELLING YOU.
AND SO ETHAN'S KIND
OF STRUGGLED WITH HIS
JUST
JUST KIND
JUST KIND OF GOING ALONG WITH WITH THE WITH THE FLOW AND INSTEAD OF THE PASSING FOR ONE
CIRCUMSTANCE WHEN IT'S
SOMETHING ELSE SHOWS HOW YOU
KNOW HOW COMPLICATED THE ISSUE
IS.
AND IN THIS SHOW I MEAN IT'S
SET IN THE NINETEEN EIGHTIES
WITH SOME OF THE DILEMMAS THEY
MAY HAVE FACED AT THAT TIME
OF BEING A MIXED RACE FAMILY.
DO YOU THINK SOME OF THOSE SAME
OBSTACLES APPLY TODAY?
WELL SURE.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW AND AND BUT
IT'S ONE OF THE STRENGTHS I
THINK OF OF LOOKING SOMETHING
IN A FLASHBACK IS IT'S REALLY
BOTTLE IN TIME AND YOU'VE GOT
YOU'VE GOT REFLEXION ABOUT IT
AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE PROGRESS
HAS TAKEN PLACE AND WHERE AND
THEN THE OPPOSITE WHERE IT
WHERE IT HASN'T OR EVEN TEAM
AND IT'S EVEN RETREATED.
SO WHEN WE LOOK BACK AT
HISTORY, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES I
WATCH THE SHOW AND I SEE IT
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU USE
HISTORICAL YOU KNOW, KIND
OF MILEPOSTS ABOUT WHETHER IT
BE ABOUT RACE OR POLITICS OR OR
OR GENDER OR WHATEVER IT IS.
>> YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES YOU STOP
TO PICK AND YOU GO WOW, THAT
WAS ONLY IN THE 80S AND
EVERYBODY THOUGHT LIKE THAT IN
THE 80S OR THAT WAS SOME
THINKING BACK IN THE 80S AND
IT'S IT'S POWERFUL WHEN YOU
LOOK AT IT THAT WAY.
THAT'S I THINK THAT'S A NICE
DEVICE THAT'S THAT'S USED TO
SHOW VERY GOOD.
>> ANY REASON WHY EVERYBODY
SHOULD TUNE IN TOMORROW NIGHT
FOR THE PREMIERE OF THE SECOND
SEASON?
LOOK AT THIS WOMAN.
THERE IS A REASON TO KIND OF .
>> THAT'S TELEVISION'S
CHRISTINA ANTHONY .
>> AS I'VE KNOWN WORK
TELEVISION'S CHRISTINA
ANTHONY NEAL TUNE IN.
I MEAN LET'S GET AWAY.
LET'S TAKE A TRIP BACK TO THE
80S.
VERY NICE.
AND LET'S JUST TAKE A BREAK.
ALL RIGHT.
SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD TIME AND
WATCH WHAT DENISE IS WEARING.
OH, YES.
>> WE'LL TUNE IN
