Here's what Terry Crews thought of the first season of Are We There Yet?
When Terry Crews had a spot in the Wayans family movie White Chicks, everyone knew he was destined for a starring sitcom role. He delivered his lines effortlessly; remember the words, "Didn't anyone tell you that this was an all-white party?" Or remember when he starred in Eddie Murphy's movie Norbit?
Crews' comedic character role in that 2007 film was another reminder that fans wanted to see him on television. Three years later, in 2010, the actor starred as Nick Persons, the man who had heart eyes for a single mom and decided to make the most imperfect but loving blended family.
Are We There Yet? started as an Ice Cube film series. The success of the first movie led to its audience wanting more, so Cube executive-produced the series of the same name and also made appearances. Although Ice Cube was the star in the films, Terry Crews was the man of the house in the sitcom, acting out the humorous plots alongside Essence Atkins, Keesha Sharp, and more.

Crews talked about his feelings about the show's first season in an interview with Essence Magazine.
"I thought we had a good start; I was really happy with the tone and with what we wanted to establish. This thing is new, and we put together this many episodes in this amount of time — in network quality. That's the one thing everyone was concerned about was 'were we going to be able to do it?' I think we more than prove that this was possible," he said.
He continued, "What I find with sitcoms is that after you do the first 10 episodes you find your rhythm, you find your groove and I can honestly say we're in that. We're batting at 1,000. It's going to be an improved show from the first time. [You get] to know the characters more. Jokes that got established in the first season are getting fleshed out even more and we've been having a lot of fun, and we think that people are going notice a difference."
