Funny I was going to say the same thing.

I've seen Johnson Family Vacation Lol. I'm Black myself, and while it's funny to me (again, to me personally), it's very much a rip-off of the National Lampoon series which is far more superior. I'm talking about if the real-deal series had a Black cast that's who I'd imagine in the roles.

Thoughts?
