Engages the intersections of performance, production, politics, and reception to consider how Black sitcoms intervened in both the history of TV and in a rearticulation of Black identity in the early 1970s. With attention to race, socioeconomics, gender, and politics, these sitcoms had their own distinct style in depicting Black American life.
