How about the new Brandy show only lasted 8 episodes that people probably forgot :lol:
Didn't even know she had a second show or 3rd I should say.

Made it my mission to add all the black Sit-coms to my collection. Last two seasons of Living Single have been a hard find. Black sit-coms were the back bone of alot of networks mid 80's and though out the 90's some of which they copied and made with all white casts members.

i was in elementary school when Baby Im Back aired. i remember it being on for only a few weeks then it was cancelled. i LOVED True Colors....i was in my late teens or early 20s when it was one.

didn't like Sanford Arms, Grady was okay, what's happening now launched Martin Lawrence's career. the Sinbad show SUCKED (but Salma Hayek looked good in it) Redd Foxx croaked on the set of The Royal Family (didnt like that show anyway) and i thought the kids on Tracy Morgan's show MADE the show. i wish it did better ratings.
You can catch what's happening and what's happening now on tv 1 the og what's happening was hilarious. What's happening now was kinda lame and it started to fall off when rerun left the show. Also a young martin Lawrence got his start on that show as a kid who worked in Rob's dinner
