  I actually like the casting change. Duane imo didnt fit the part. Duane has the Real husbands of hollywood to pick him up

  could you all GIVE EXAMPLES of the comedic range michael boatman possess? he was on that michael fox show Spin City but I never watched, was he funny? On the shows that I have seen him on he is serious, not comedic: SVU, Game( ass Punk Asss Chauncey), Good Wife
  
  Michael (oct 64) and Duane (aug 65) are both born in 60s so WHAT HAPPENED at the table read to cancel duane and bring in Michael?
  
  I think Duane had great comedic timing on All Of US.
  ..& b4 u f v k s start, no I AM NOT will nor tisha nor duane himself.
  Im a fan of Tia . I'm tia's left bunion.
  A true Mowry fan knows what this means.

  Congrats to Ashanti, I must admit she has a lot of determination and she stays on her grind. I like the casting change for Instant Mom. I think they will have good chemistry.

  @ d c kirkwood ??? what have you seen or heard that makes you say Ashanti has alot of determination and stays on her grind? I am honestly surprised at this casting bc I thought Army wives had a series finales. I guess I was wrong.

  Yes. Boatman makes a lot more sense than Martin did. I hope Boatman and Mowry will have good chemistry.

  Maybe I'm alone here but I actually prefer the casting change. Michael Boatman has more range. His comedic timing and his dramatic capabilities make him a better choice, IMHO. I'm sure Duane will land on his feet with another project. In the meantime, I'm have no doubt that Will would be more than happy to give him a shoulder to cry on.
