new nick sitcom....good idea??

White family moves into a house haunted by a black family (who are ghosts).
How will they avoid calling them spooks?

Seems like a bad idea to me.
Should have switched roles.

The writers must be really young not to know "spooks" which is also a British term for spies. In fact, the BBC show called MI-5 in US is called Spooks in GB.

But I digress. This sounds like a bad idea, full of planned stereotypes, which I thought we were supposed to be getting away from.
