    Backlash Erupts Over New Altadena Wildfire Sitcom From Kenya Barris and Mike Epps

    A new CBS sitcom project is sparking intense online criticism. The show is set in Altadena, California, a community recently devastated by wildfires. It comes from producer Kenya Barris and comedian Mike Epps.

    Altadena Wildfire Sitcom

    The project is in early development at the network. It would follow two brothers trying to sell their late grandmother’s property. Their plans fall apart, forcing them to live with her caretaker.

    Community Still Reeling From Eaton Fire Devastation

    The proposed show’s backdrop is a major point of contention. Altadena was severely impacted by the Eaton fire in January. According to reports, the wildfire killed at least 19 people.

       

    It also destroyed over 9,000 structures. The fire rapidly scorched 14,000 acres. It nearly wiped out Altadena’s downtown area.

    Residents are still struggling to rebuild nine months later. Many are fighting off land developers seeking to buy their property. Using this tragedy for comedy feels wrong to many locals.

    Mixed Reactions From Public and Officials

    News of the show ignited instant debate online. Many people expressed disgust at the premise. Others hope the creators can handle the subject with care.

    KBLA radio host James Farr asked his followers “Funny or too soon?”. Comments on his post ranged from outrage to cautious optimism. An Instagram user summed up the divided sentiment perfectly.

    They wrote that it could be great if it benefits the community’s rebuild. If not, it is simply too soon. A spokesperson for Supervisor Kathryn Barger confirmed many constituents feel hurt.

    The show aims to bring a light to a place many have forgotten. Only time will tell if the humor can balance the community’s profound sense of loss.
