Why Does Everybody Hate Chris?

Everybody Hates Chris is an American television period sitcom inspired by the memories of the teenage years of comedian Chris Rock. The show's title parodies the popular CBS sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond, and is set from 1982 to 1987.

Why is it called Everybody Hates Chris?

The show's title is a reference to "Everybody Loves Raymond". The schools Chris attends - Corleone Junior High and Tattaglia High - are references to characters in "The Godfather". Chris Rock actually grew up mostly in the 1970s instead of the 1980s.

Why is Chris ending hated?

Added to the fact that Chris doesn't exactly match the network's targeted demographic, it was obvious that the show's days were numbered. Rather than take a chance on not being able to give the show a proper ending, Rock decided to finish the show on his own terms.
