I think you’re mistaken, second Claire was better because they actually changed the character when they switched out the actresses - so it’s not exactly fair to say one actress brought more than the other when what was asked of them was different lol

[@jeringatai3156]

The original Claire was smart, athletic and competitive with Jr. They completely changed her character to a ditzy clutz that focuses on her looks. Thats not a good thing. Original Claire couldve gotten somewhere but the show was dependant on keeping its characters dumb for comedic value

But in the show's defense, First Claire looked NOTHING like her On screen Family. NOTHING alike. There is often that one cast Member that looks NOTHING like their own screen Family. Everybody Hates Chris, Tyler James Williams looks like he could be Tichina Arnold's Son. Imani Hakim looked like she could be Terry Crew's Daughter. Tequan Richmond looked NOTHING like his onscreen Family. In Smart Guy, Yvette, Floyd, and T.J looked like Family. Marcus looked NOTHING like his onscreen Family, although Fans have speculated that Marcus could look like his Mother who died before the show premiered. In Good Times, JJ looked like he could be James and Florida's Son, but Michael and Thelma didn't look anything like each other, nor JJ, Florida, or James.

I see a pattern of hiring a bi racial actress, after a dark skin black actress has a hiccup or issue. Katt Williams called this out. They always let black women know, they can be replaced by a light skinned actress.

[@bettyjones6240]

Fresh Prince....

[@denea4418]

@Javier Garcia This is not your lane sooooooooo why are you commenting?

[@DH-uw3us]

It's weird that they would do that. If they're going to replace someone, at least let it be somebody with the same skin tone. Otherwise it doesn't make sense. They should have just created a different character instead of trying to pass off someone with a different racial makeup as that character. But I guess showbiz doesn't have to make sense lol.

[@shimeicareaves]

My thoughts exactly

[@alizehustle9385]

Would you say the same if a biracial actress was replaced with a darker one? How would u feel if u missed a oppurtunity just because your light skinned or dark? Colorism need to die on both sides. Everyone complaining should go write their own show and cast it how u want

I love my wife and kids and it threw me for a loop but I continue to watch. Also I am glad she still continue to do what she loved by going from acting to dancing back to acting all over again. I am glad her mom had her back because some rolls are not meant for everyone. I love to see mom's or guardians in general actually care about their child's well-being when it comes to acting because unfortunately some actresses did not have that and we all know what ends up happening to them in a long run.

[@BlackSuperman2099]

Given that Damon Wayans was an executive producer of the show, I've always doubted that the "Claire" switch had anything to do w/ colorism (it wasn't an "Aunt Viv" situation either, but more of a "Becky Connor" switch, like on Roseanne--having to do w/ the actress's personal life). To be fair, although skin tone can vary greatly within black families, the "new Claire" looked more like her "parents". I'm just glad the original actress went on to do what she loves & isn't bitter about her departure (because we've heard too much of that already).

[@gaila.9852]

I am surprised they cast the original Claire in the first place. She was much darker than her parents.

[@BlackSuperman2099]

@@gaila.9852 I'm guessing during the selection process, casting went off of acting ability over "perceived parentage" (aka how much the actoress looked like the actors playing her parents). Since Damon Wayans was an executive producer, I believe he didn't have a "complexion bias" which seems to go on w/ most of the "new age" black shows (such as "Black-ish").

[@reneeyoung3186]

​@@gaila.9852 I disagree with the colorism statement and since this show was typed as comedy, funny she was not.

I love this show even now but will not watch her episodes. Just an opinion no one will give.

[@Jaheartsjonas]

I know it's not as big or as memorable of a show as My Wife and Kids, but after rewatching it on Prime recently I noticed they did a similar switcheroo on the show Meet the Browns for the character Brianna, in the first season she's played by a slightly darker skinned curvier young actress and then was replaced by Logan Browning for the rest of the series, with no reason given as to why anywhere. Maybe y'all can make a video on that one day

[@bgcrp2005]

She wasn’t dark skinned or slightly

[@ShanyShannon]

@@bgcrp2005 Yeah you're right her and Logan are the same complexion lol. I just looked her up, it was not a an issue of colorizm if anything MAYBE featurism. For anyone curious her name is Brianne Gould and she was just as light as Logan. Just had an unambiguous black woman's features.

[@ShanyShannon]

She wasn't dark-skinned actually, or even a medium shade of brown she was on the lighter side just like Logan. If you google her you'll see.

Honestly I like both actresses as Claire ...but if I had to pick I would pick Jennifer Freeman ..because Jennifer made the character clumsy and ditsy that's what made it funny to me .😏

[@alizehustle9385]

Agreed

[@hello-dannie]

She downgraded the character IMO. The first actress made her funny and intelligent. Playing a one-note ditz doesn't take much skill, almost anyone can do that.

@@hello-dannie why are u blaming the actress for the "downgrade"? She read from a script 😂

[@annaross1362]

@@hello-dannie facts. Did the character no justice.

ALVIN AILEY??? Woooow that’s BIG time in the dance world (my best friend is a dancer and her dream is to dance for his company) so happy to see that even though this part didn’t work out she continued to be successful.

[@karishajohnson6537]

At least it was due to a change in the character’s story and not them finding the character irrelevant She’s gorgeous btw

[@titanjake8640]

Very nice story. She is very pretty and positive
