Even Julia Louis-Dreyfuss can't save this one. Did it have a good premise? It sure did, for about forty years ago.
So, they took a tired old storyline, added in some pretty good talent which might have saved it, then stupidly added in the requisite Hollywood dreck that completely ruined it - they had to make it non-stop about black vs. White and they did it about as poorly and tediously as they possibly could. The endless comments and "jokes" are incredibly tiresome and do nothing to bring anyone together, especially not the audience, they only serve to further alienate us from each other.
Honestly, just a huge waste of some good actors and the viewers time.
