Tracee Ellis Ross left her social media followers pleading with her when she gave an update on her show, Black-ish, which they simply aren't ready for. 

The much-loved actress took to Instagram with a message about the long-running TV series and her social media followers couldn't take it.

She wrote: "How it started, how it’s ending! Start your new year off with @blackishabc’s farewell season premiere on Jan 4, and watch seasons 1-7 on @hulu! #blackish."

The promotional photos were a touch of nostalgia for fans of the show who don't want it to end.

It was all too much for fans!

There were hashtags of #wasnotready and one particularly poignant message read: This show will go down in History as a Classic! Up there with "Good Times, The Jefferson, A Different World, Martin" and the list goes on and on. Thank you for years of excellence."

Black-ish announced last spring that season eight would be its last.
