Ray Richmond Variety A talented cast and some clever writing (from Hughley and D.L. Wickline) give the show potential, but it leans too heavily at the outset on trite racist themes for its fuel. May 24, 2019 Full Review Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly Hughley's brash, winning personality makes him a TV natural, but so far, The Hughleys isn't the proper showcase for it.
