Reviews

willied4 I really liked and enjoyed the show. I just love the two main characters and how they related to each others. I hope you will bring it back. The writing is also fantastic. Good job!!!!!!The children are pretty good and I love the office workers the secretary and other professional in the office. I didn't see all of the episodes so I'm getting ready to watch it now on entertainment on Demand. I don't understand why anyone would put it down as I enjoyed the three that I saw and I spoke to others who enjoyed Reed/Lines. I especially enjoyed the visits from the parents and the "Save the date episode. So true as to relating to the ex-husband.

joemoe116 I have watched every episode of Reed between the lines. I really like the show. It is a positive family sitcom about a family headed by two doctors Dr. Alex Reed is a NYU English professor, and Dr. Carla Reed is a psychologist. They have three children. Carla's twins Keenan and Kaci from a previous marriage, and Alex and Carla have seven-year-old Alexis together. oh, and the family just happens to be black. That will yes, remind you of The Cosby Show. Tracee Ellis Ross and Malcolm Jamal Warner have very good chemistry. The show is very funny. Tracee Ellis Ross is a very good comedic actress. And Malcolm Jamaal Warner is very good as the straight man. Ana Maria Horsford is very funny. Melissa De Sausa is funny. The show is well-written. Another thing I like about Read between the lines is how they are able to squeeze in a positive messages without being preachy. Reed between the lines does have its flaws. For instance, the blended family storyline needs to be explained better. I agree with one of the posters who said they could have found more seasoned child actors to play Keenan Kaci and Alexis. Other than those flaws. If you haven't seen the show, I highly recommend it.

shenicab-214-654585 I love this show! It reminds me of the warmness that I felt when I watched the Cosby Show in the 80's. I normally do not watch sitcoms, but I make sure that I record this show on my DVR. I watch it along with my fiancée and three boys. It is a good wholesome family show that I am surprised to see on sleazy BET. Great job BET for bringing people in their middle thirties, with families, a show that they can be proud of because I get tired of seeing black people depicted as sexual objects, money hungry monkeys that want to fight all the time, wanna be gangsters, drug addicts, and junkies etc. It is about time we had a show that showed that the sane blacks are nothing like those images that we see on reality shows or other sitcoms.

tallen452002 I love Tracee and who doesn't love Malcom...but this show is horrible. They could have at least used seasoned child actors or at least used some kids that attended acting school. The acting is horrible and Tracee and Malcoms characters I don't see the average couple relating to. Tracee and Malcoms characters relationship on screen is too plain and boring. They are not believable as a couple thats been married for 4 years! The storyline is so flat, that I fell asleep on this show twice. Maybe new writers are needed. Try hiring the writers from past successful family shows. I don't see this show lasting one season. Sorry.
