A hilarious sitcom starring comedian and
radio host Rickey Smiley.
Rickey plays a character loosely based on his own life. His role is the single father of three
adorable children.
WITHOUT SOUND
As the show came on it was very hard for me
to determine what is happening. Rickey
and his coworker were in the radio station.
They were nodding their heads and making hand gestures. They were talking into their microphones and
later Rickey took a cup of coffee from his female friend. It seems as though
Rickey was trying to make a point, he continued talking and making hand
gestures and left. He went home and his
children were sitting on the sofa. He
then went in the kitchen and talked with the older lady, it looks as though he
was yelling up the stairway to the children and he continued his conversation
with the older lady. It looks as though
the older lady was telling him what to do and he seems as though he was telling
her she didn’t know what she was talking about.
Rickey was making a sandwich as he continue the conversation with the
lady.
The older lady and Rickey was close (face
to face). He was making a gesture as
though he was telling her “I know I look good!”
The old lady walked out of the house as Rickey continued to talk to lady,
when the door opened a young lady was standing outside. She came in looking as though she had some
disappointing news. The children came
downstairs by know I could tell that the young lady was their mother. The scene went back the radio station. They were laughing and talking and an older
guy was standing outside the glass window yelling. He went into the room and talked to
Rickey. I couldn’t really make out much
without sound but as the scene went back to the house the children mother took
them shopping to buy gifts and by the looks of the children face she disappointed
them again after receiving a phone call.
WITH SOUND
As the show came on they were in the
radio station talking and laughing about Congressman Chiles, saying he was
caught on police video. Rickey made the
statement, “If you see congressman Chiles in your neighborhood lock your door”. Rickey tried to take his friend coffee but he
gave it back after she told him she cough over it and spit in it. Rickey said he was going to go home and drink
some Moscoto and eat cookies. He was
looking forward to the house by himself.
Aunt Sylvia was on the phone and when
she got off she told Rickey and the children that Monica had to work late. He continue talking to Aunt Sylvia and making
his sandwich. Aunt Sylvia, said she
always help Rickey and be there for the children. Monica, the children mother, talked with
Rickey and explained why she was late.
Monica brought over gifts and Rickey and the children were happy.
At the radio station they were joking
about some folic hair cream which makes your hair grow. The older guy (Maurice) was yelling through
the glass because they made a joke that the cream gave Rickey cousin a rash and
the microphone was still on. At the
house Monica was bought to leave with the children when she got a phone call
from work and disappointed the children because they were unable to go with
her.
It was very difficult for me to
determine what was going on in the show without sound. However, it was better to understand with the
sound on. This was a complicated
experience.
