The third season of the sitcom based on Chris Rock's recollections of his childhood focuses on Chris' ninth-grade year (1985-86). Many things change for Chris (Tyler James Williams) -- for one, he joins the school-newspaper staff, only to send the student body into a panic after he pens a fictitious article about a serial killer. And for the first time, another black student enrolls at Corleone Junior High, causing best friend Greg (Vincent Martella) to worry that Chris will abandon their friendship. Plus, Chris suffers from girl troubles-first with Tasha (Paige Hurd) and then with Carrie (Vanessa Toll), whose date with Chris for the ninth-grade dance causes a stir because of the interracial nature of their relationship. But Chris' biggest challenge comes at his junior-high graduation, when he learns that Greg plans to attend a different high school in the fall. Determined to stick with his buddy, Chris tries to raise money so he can go to Greg's ritzy private school, too. Series creator Chris Rock guest stars as a clueless guidance counselor in the season premiere. ~ Angela Dalecki, All Movie Guide

When fate brings Charlie and his former college roommate Alan Johnson (Don Cheadle) together once again on a Manhattan street corner, Alan is shocked to see just how far his old friend has fallen.

At that pivotal moment when Charlie and Alan both need a trusted friend to help them work through the seemingly insurmountable challenges they face in life, the restorative power of a rekindled friendship provides just the lifeline needed to move forward into the future with hope and optimism.
