Now that Black-ish's “Please, Baby, Please” episode is available to stream, it seems even more ridiculous that ABC didn’t air it initially. chaneyj writes
“Please, Baby, Please” recounts President Trump’s rise to power as a leader who, as Dre puts it to his baby son, “scared the s— out of Daddy.” Photo: ABC The Black-ish episode “Please, Baby, Please,” an airing of Trump era grievances framed around Dre’s attempt to calm his infant son, was supposed to air in February of 2018.
Set during a thunderstorm, when baby DeVante is wide awake and Dre is tasked with trying to soothe his youngest son back to sleep, the episode unfolds as a series of issue-focused, cross-generational conversations between various members of the Johnson family who also are having trouble sleeping.
I suspect the story of the Shady King, a.k.a. Trump, caused more consternation for ABC executives at the time, who were then excited about their semi-Trump-focused reboot of Roseanne. The tale, brought to life with a mix of animation and actual news clips, recounts Trump’s rise to power as a leader who, as Dre puts it, “scared the s— out of Daddy.” Footage of Trump, parroting the words of Bane in The Dark Knight Rises, is featured.
But nothing about this story was wrong then, and its accuracy is even more apparent now. That makes this episode of Black-ish, which, if it had come out when it was supposed to, would have been a time capsule of where we were as a nation a year into Trump’s presidency, more like a pair of bookends that speaks to then and also now.
