He was just an actor. A pretender.
Thank you ABC
Why are they treating this guy like he’s Denzel or Morgan Freeman?
Prettypink19691 Great movie to watch with the family 👨🏽👩🏾👦🏽👶🏾👧🏽👨🏾🦳👵🏽 BlackPanther🤴🏾
Nice tribute.
Rip
Awesome! So saddened to hear about this beautiful brothers loss.
ABC? Does anyone watch network television anymore other than 70 year olds
They’re doing that for ratings period
So sad. So young. RIP 🙏🏻
Lucky for us dish has AB....oh. wait no it doesn't because a month later y'all are still squabbling over money to carry the channel. Luckily I have one of the 700 infomercial channels I don't want to go with the 40 jewelry shopping channels I didn't want either.
Why?
RIP Chadwick Boseman
RIP Chad.
Outstanding
That is so sweet of you 'ABC'. It's a wonderful tribute to our star 'CHADWICK BOSEMAN'.
saint_marche Rest in thy kingdom Mr. Boseman.
Thanks ABC
This should be simulcast on every network.
Great. Just don't relent and starting putting commercials. Just don't. Because that would be a dick move for a dickish media company owned by a dickish mega-conglomerate.
Anything for viewers. Don't fall for it.
ugh. the one channel i know i can't get
Awesome i really admired how he owned the character and used it to make a difference. Such a warm genuine human
Hard pass on this one!😏
This is a cool thing for ABC to do. A lot of people don't have Disney+ because Black Panther is on there, but it's a streaming channel. It's great to have it on broadcast, especially because Boseman was so beloved by many. ChadwickBoseman WakandaForever
ABC? Whatever.
I will watch on ABC APP at 5 pm PDT
Of course they will
Whoopie! lol
ABCNetwork Please direct proceeds from commercials aired during the ChadwickBoseman Special to charities chadwickboseman supports. ChadwickBosemanForever
Well I have dish so won’t be watching that either😡
They should be showing 42, much more relevant considering the present political climate.
It should say to capitalize..
Why this is news? Both abc and Black Panther are owned by Disney.
Another watch party? Another watch party.
Run his full library 🙏🏼 Watched 21 bridges last night and forgot how talented dude is. RIP BlackPanther
Setting a reminder.
