I also found this episode interesting because there was no singing of “Everybody Hate’s Chris” at the end like there is on prior episodes. test is scored out of 800, and yes, in real life, Chris Rock dropped out of high school. There is a camera close-up of the number 735 painted on his vehicle. In this scene, you will see his father Julius parking his truck. One of the many reasons why this show didn’t have a fifth season was because Chris intended the show to end before Julius’s death happened. Chris Rock’s actual father, Julius Rock (the inspiration for the show’s character), died from peptic ulcer disease in 1988, a year after this episode’s events. The series finale is a spoof of the episode “Made in America” of the HBO drama series, The Sopranos. I thought it was a brilliant way to end the episode and the series.Įverybody Hates the G.E.D. is the twenty-second episode of the fourth season of Everybody Hates Chris and the eighty-eighth episode overall. About 2 minutes into this scene above, I knew EXACTLY what the show was paying homage to. My son was somewhat disappointed because of the final scene. Even though I didn’t grow up in Brooklyn like Chris Rock’s character, I had a great time revisiting the 1980’s. We had fun each time we sat down to watch the shows, but Everybody Hates Chris was a trip down memory lane for me. I would often stop the video during many episodes to explain some funny and interesting cultural references since I had many of the same experiences as Anthony Anderson and Chris Rock’s characters in their respective shows. It’s our second show we’ve watched together – ‘Black-ish’ being the other. I started watching the sitcom ‘Everybody Hates Chris’ with my son in the middle of last year on Hulu.
