The Cosby Mysteries.
[flash]http://www.livevideo.com/flvplayer/embed/979C8DAD9F1744B694813DE833A74FDF[/flash]
Bonus:
The first T/V appearance of our boy Dante aka Mos Def who played his understudy/assistant.
Who knows - if this would have taken off, Mos probably would have had to put his rap career on hold for awhile.

OK, that was the wackest sci-fi into ever! Tell me why was the last nigga in the universe outside painting letters on a ship in the middle of fucking space.
Even when we're the last nigga around we still can't get better than menial labor jobs huh?
And what the fuck kind of engine was that? A 150watt lightbulb for an engine? FAIL!
The ship's computer's primary directive was to keep Lister, the brotha, from going mad, as he was the last hope for humanity. So, the ship's computer resurrected a hologram of his long (3 million years) dead roommate to keep him company and gave him busy work to keep his mind occupied. He had been a maintenance engineer 3 million years ago, before the rest of the entire crew was killed, so those are the kinds of things he continued to do. However, he--as the sole human crewman--technically outranked everyone, the computer, Holly, included.

now try naming some black tv shows that weren't comedy 
why the fuck a nigga gotta be a clown ?

Room 222
Again, it didn't have an all-black cast, but four of the main characters, including the, then, unearthly beautiful Denise Nicholas, dapper Lloyd Haynes (the brotha from whom I inherited my sartorial predilection for tweed blazers) and a very young, and magnificently afro-ed, Eric Laneuville.
This is the first show that I personally saw where the black characters were professionals who weren't--as was Dianne Carol in "Julia"--engaged in the day-to-day busting up of some white man's chifferobe (the second was, of course, the original "Bill Cosby Show." And no, I don't mean the one with Lisa Bonet.
I was just tellin' my girl the other day that ninja Ray-J been around for a minute. A lot of people don't realize he was in that Sinbad show and was doin' things even before Brandy blew up.
Ya'll forgot "Homeboys in Outer Space"
Also there was this one joint called "The Show" Had dude who played Bruh-Man from Martin in it. Was about some rapper or musician. Can't remember if it was any good. Think it only lasted like one season.
she's the only reason I watched that show...damn she was fine in that leather outfit!!
Yeah I'm rollin with Roc too..
I pretty sure is was Charlotte, which Kendall Gill was playing for Charlotte around that time. This show was funny.
Nickelodeon had some really good shows. I know I was watched Ren & Stimpy, Rock's Modern Life, All That, & Doug on the Regular
she's the only reason I watched that show...damn she was fine in that leather outfit!!
She was a sexy muthaphucka!
I remember the Royale Family quite well, and I think it actually made it through a full season and was supposed to comeback............
thing is...........
Redd Foxx passed away during the show's return
It did well while he was alive, it was the version they tried with Jackée after he died that bombed. Either way it wasn't a full season with only 15 shows, 7 was Foxx's
And fuck whoever put music you can't stop. in this thread.
Co-sign
It was the same show, I used to work for the Producer; Ellis Haizlip. The show was shot in NY at the old WNET Ch. 13 studio. Anna Maria Horsford was also a Producer. The strange thing is that Samuel L. Jackson played a character named "Billy Dee" in four episodes but there is no mention of that anywhere. There was at least a seasons worth of shows that were in the can that never saw the light of day. Good s**t too.
Excellent cast; great scripts and rare subject matter for television (Broadcast or Cable).
Man, it would be great if the IFC or Sundance channels would re-run it like the do with “Arrested Development” & “Curb Your Enthusiasm”
Man, those light bright ones - they don't age so well.
I know the dude in this pic! lol damn

You gotta give it a chance bruh. Red Dwarf is probably one of the funniest sitcoms EVER.
