#Clique, have you gotten your ticket to see this film?
Kim Kardashian’s new and first comedy film, The Fifth Wheel, will soon be a reality on Netflix. Fans of the KUWTK star are about to see another side of her. This comes after the star’s “American Horror Story: Delicate” project. The SKIMS founder is teaming up with other powerful women, and the grapevine reveals that it will be humour-filled!
Kim Kardashian’s New Comedy Film: The Fifth Wheel
Kim Kardashian and Netflix now have a new comedy film collaboration for the first time. Following a handful of other interested parties, including five studios, the actress decided to sell to the streaming giant for an unknown price.
Deadline first reported the news on Sunday, claiming Kim Kardashian’s Netflix project is titled “The Fifth Wheel.” Funnily enough, what appears to be a mouth-watering offer for Netflix has no scripts yet.
Reports say that writers Paula Pell and Janine Brito thought of a storyline and realized Kim K was their best bet. They pitched it to her, and the onscreen maven found it interesting enough.
The co-writers, alongside the film’s lead star, approached studios with the offer. This happened immediately after the actor’s strike was suspended.
According to Deadline, having Kim on the project influenced studios’ interests. The businesswoman was present at every meeting and pitched her interest in acting and producing the film.
What To Expect From Kim Kardashian’s “The Fifth Wheel”
Even though the idea has only been sold with no scripts, the expectations should be high. Indeed, all fans have to do now is to hope for the best and expect a brilliant film.
Pell and Paula, who will jointly work with Kim, are exceptional women in the entertainment scene. Pell is credited for bringing many SNL predictions to life. The writer noted for her expertise in comedy also wrote the comedy film “Sisters” featuring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
Meanwhile, Paula is known for her involvement in EP’d Judd Apatow’s “This is 40.” For the comedic project, it is estimated that Netflix will spend between $30 million to $80 million.
Thinking about all the black sitcoms we had back in the day, before sisterhood and relationship dramas on television showcased “Insecure”
With the girls, we had
“Living Single”
Taking us through all of the drama that comes with being single and finding your way as a person of color in America.
We had shows that showcased true black excellence that lives on through generations, helping us find ourselves in each character on our TV screen. There are TV shows that don’t get all the accolades that they deserve.
New sitcoms have emerged with a modern style of storytelling that will be a reference for years to come, redefining black culture in mainstream media. Here are some black classic sitcoms that have defined the true excellence of black culture.
1. “Sister Sister”
After watching Sister Sister and seeing all the love that is shared between twins, I definitely want twins so I can dress them up together and experience all the sisterly love.
“Sister Sister”
Is played by real-life twin sisters Tia Landry and Tamera Campbell (Tia and Tamera Mowry). With this series, there’s definitely a twist, with each sister thinking they are only children until they come across each other. When I think of “Sister Sister,” I remember
“It Takes Two”
With each living apart from the other. This sitcom aired on television in 1994 and has been a reference in many black homes when listing out classic sitcoms created with the black community in mind.
2. “Girlfriends”
Can I be your girlfriend if you promise to be mine? This one is all about sisterhood, I’ll say a spin-off of
“Living Single.”
With this show, it has its own style and mood of storytelling, with just minor changes to the stories but the same pilot and characters. The series stars Joan, Toni, Lynn, and Maya (Jill Jones, Tracee Ellis Ross, Golden Brooks, and Persia White) as they face and stand strong through all of life’s hilarious and incredibly challenging circumstances that could either mold or break their bond.
3. “A Different World”
This sitcom definitely outdid itself on the day of its release, a classic that portrays all the intricacies of black culture. This show came as a spin-off from
“The Cosby Show,”
Taking the audience all the way to the fictitious HBCU Hillman College as Denise Huxtable starts her freshman year. The show ranked number one on television back in the ’90s among many black viewers, a story that’s relatable, fun, engaging, and filled with love. Whitley, Dwayne, Jaleesa, and Freddie are easily some of the most memorable characters in black entertainment culture.
4. “The Proud Family”
This is one of the most popular television series back in the day.
“The Proud Family”
Aired on Disney, making it one of the first animated sitcoms to feature a black family on television. The Proud Family theme song is one that is sung in every black family today. This show continues to live on for ages as new generation parents introduce their children to this sitcom. During Halloween, it’s one of the most fun family costumes, even Beyonce and Jay-Z think so too. Disney+ announced it will be releasing a continuation of the show,
“The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder,”
Available to stream on Disney+.
5. “The Parkers”
Dang, people, this definitely takes us all the way back when TV shows came up with their own funny and memorable quotes that we can always throw into a conversation. If you don’t remember
“Dang, Mama”
Anytime a conversation comes up about
“The Parkers,”
You don’t know what you missed in the early days. “The Parkers” highlighted a major topic that still circles around the black community and the world in general. When you think about Kim Parker, the first thing that comes to mind is
“fatphobia,”
A nauseating thought that makes you remember all the two cents that were centered around her. This sitcom shows the stereotypes that surround single women and all they have had to deal with in reference to their bodies.
6. “Living Single”
My favorite quote from this sitcom is,
“You see, a good man is like fine wine. They all start out like grapes. Our job is to stomp on them! And then keep them in the dark until they mature into something we wouldn’t mind having dinner with.”
Just like
“Friends,”
I remember this show when it came out and everyone had it on their lips. It was informative, relatable, black, and had the ’90s alte style that a lot of kids recreate today. This television show is definitely one for the books, bringing to light all the struggles of the dating world, especially as a black woman living in America. These four single friends go through all of life’s ups and downs together, life’s crazy detours, and joy, holding on to a bond that they see as unbreakable. This show is still one that is talked about generations later, one for the millennials, Gen Z, and the rising Gen X.
#Clique, what are your thoughts on these sitcoms? Which one are you watching over the weekend?
This film is based on the true events and story of wrestler Kevin Von Erich and the fall of the Von Erich family.

A revenge best served cold is one that cannot be forgotten. This trailer sets a concise tone that opens the story, driven by a world of revenge against those who made Mizu an outcast in Edo-Period Japan. She cuts a bloodbath path that propels her to her destiny.
“Blue-Eyed Samurai”
Is an animated film for adults, with gory action and television series details. It was created and written by the husband and wife team of Michael Green and Amber Noizumi.
During the 17th century in Japan, a half-white and half-Japanese swordsman embarks on a journey of vengeance against four men.
On the journey and quest for revenge, Mizu is joined by Ringo (Masi Oka), a soba master who dreams of greatness; Taigen (Darren Barnet), a proud samurai whose rivalry leads to a constrained suspension of hostilities; and Princess Akemi (Brenda Song), Taigen’s betrothed, whose life becomes intertwined with Mizu’s.
Mizu’s pursuit of revenge takes the audience across the Edo-Period Japan era in an exasperating series.
The series engrosses its viewers in an evocative adult animation with an on-the-edge action live experience.
In the early 17th century in Japan, during a time when the walls and borders were closed to the outside world, the people never saw a face that was not Japanese. Mizu remembers the white men and their presence during her birth in Japan. As she sets out on a journey to kill these men, among them might be Mizu’s father, who, despite being her father, made her a
“creature of shame.”
In this era, revenge is not a path that women tread, so Mizu must hide her gender and her blue eyes as she embarks on this quest before her.
