Michelle Obama on Blackish! Behind the scenes Black-ish

Disclosure: I attended a press trip sponsored by Disney and ABC. All expenses were paid but opinions are my own.

Blackish is one of our favorite TV shows of all time.  Here are several photos from a set visit during the first season of the show.  Check out Dre’s closet, Jack and Diane’s room, and even the Blackish kitchen.  TV sets are so interesting and we love seeing all the details that make TV family homes look authentic.  Blackish is on ABC TV – we watch it on Hulu!

For the final season of Blackish there are so many fun special guests.  This final season, the one and only Michelle Obama will be making a cameo on the show.  Check out pictures of Michelle Obama on Blackish below. Everyone’s favorite First Lady plays herself on the show.  Photos from Barack Obama’s better half on one of the best TV shows on TV are featured below!

Blackish Set Tour

I shared earlier about how I was able to interview the creator and cast of ABC’s new hit show –  black-ish.  What I didn’t mention was I was also able to spend some time on the actual set where they film black-ish! We were able to tour the Blackish House and it is as beautiful in person as it is on TV! I love behind the scenes on anything to do with TV and movies, but especially shows I actually watch!  black-ish is one of my new favorite shows so I was super excited!  I’m thrilled I get to take you Behind the scenes : black-ish!

I was so excited as we jumped off the bus onto the ABC lot……

You guys, I love my house, but I wanted to move into the Blackish House!

blackish-houseI half expected to turn a corner and run into Dre or Bow.  The set looks so realistic and I loved the personal touches all throughout.  Designers let us know that they wanted the house to look sophisticated but still lived in.  They have sprinkled pictures of the kids throughout as well as kids toys all over.  It is really fun! It was really interesting to see the wide hallways, open ceilings, and huge lights that are of course for filming but you just don’t see them on the other side of the TV screen.

We bought a house last year that is time warped in 1984 when it was built.  Someday I would like to redo the kitchen. I honestly haven’t really given it much thought because we aren’t planning on doing it until we can pay for it cash and that is going to be a ways down the road.  But I decided while walking through the set that whenever that day comes a replica of the black-ish kitchen will do just fine.

Michelle Obama on Blackish!

BLACK-ISH – ÒThatÕs What Friends Are ForÓ Ð Season Premiere Ð Bow convinces Dre to attend a fundraising event for When We All Vote in hopes to make some new couple friends (and to do their part in increasing participation in each and every election), but Dre is convinced there will be nothing but dud husbands there to befriend. Their expectations are far exceeded when the special guest for the evening is none other than Michelle Obama. To their surprise, the former first lady accepts an invitation for dinner at their house. But on the evening of the special meal, the rest of the Johnsons want to crash the occasion. The season eight premiere of Òblack-ishÓ airs TUESDAY, JAN. 4 (9:30-10:00 p.m. EST/PST) on ABC.

Can someone please find me a teenage boy’s room literally anywhere in America that is this put together?  Seriously Junior, your parents hit the lotto with you. Yes, I know they are all fictional characters.

    Thank you AJ – we LOVE our house so much but we hope someday down the road we can update the kitchen – I think the TV one is lovely but of course nothing we could ever really afford 😉 Maybe some version of it!

  2. Kittie says:

    Hi, love this show! Please tell me where to get that wall paper in Zoey’s room! I love it!

  3. Juan says:

    Where can I find a bed like the one in the master bedroom?

  4. Juan says:

    I fell in love with the bed the first time I saw it on the show! I wish I could find one just like it. Thanks for responding!

  5. Linda Davis says:

    I love this show, but where can I get those lamps in the Master Bedroom? The entire house is simply beautiful and lived in. I love it.
