We Are Family

Matt Roush says...

Making you pine for the nail-biting suspense (kidding) of his mediocre To Tell the Truth reboot, Anthony Anderson brings his Mama Doris along for some necessary comic relief in a punishingly bland game show joining Fox’s lineup of music-adjacent time wasters. We Are Family introduces a complete stranger to the stage, bragging about their famous relative who’s hiding in a “Super Sphere,” and as the unknown contestant warbles a tune, the giddy studio audience gets incredibly obvious clues to the identity of the hidden celeb, who later joins their relative for a duet. Whoever guesses the mystery celeb the quickest becomes the “Star Player,” who in the final round gets to fly solo to guess yet another famous person’s identity with the possibility of a $100,000 payday. Preceded by the Season 3 premiere of I Can See Your Voice (8/7c).
