ABC’s black-ish returns tonight with brand new episodes. Episode 709, black-out, will air on its new night and new time, Tuesdays at 9 PM ET/PT. The series is in its seventh season, airing since September of 2014. The series follows an uppper-middle class African-American family led by Andre Johnson, played by Anthony Anderson and Rainbow Johnson, played by Tracee Ellis Ross. Its a great show that shows the family go through so many commom probloms we all go through. As well as some ethnic speicifc topics. This seventh season of black-ish has been so conforting. As we got to see their famliy go through the struggles of 2020. Including the pandemic, the black lives matter movement, and the election. It fits the Johnson family so well as Rainbow is a doctor and Dre works in advertising. On sepereate ends of the spectrum are Dre’s parents and his kids. From them we get all sorts of points of views that we can relate to.

Below is the synopsis for episode 709, black-out.
When the power goes out in the neighborhood, Dre’s instinct is to go into survival mode and stockpile on essentials, while Bow focuses on helping out their neighbors. Meanwhile, Junior desperately searches for a place to charge his phone to get in touch with Olivia on JAN. 26 (9:00-9:30 p.m. EST), on ABC.

Ahead of tonights new epsiode of black-ish, LRM Online had the opportunity to talk with Marcus Scribner. He plays Andre Johnson Jr. (known as Junior on the series). He has been on black-ish since its inception. Which means that we have watched him grow up for seven years. This season we have seen him dealing with being a young person in the pandemic. Voting for the first time. As well as the senstivie topic of what is the proper way to protest to try and make things better in our country.

During our conversation, we talk about his experience in growing up on television. That has come with the privilege of working alongside such names as Andy Anderson and Laurence Fishburne. We also talk about his experience in working on the relevant episodes of season seven. It’s a great conversation that you can check out down below!
