yea. its sickening. they wiped out that whole lineup all at once.



Cancellation[edit]
The show aired on Tuesday evenings following Roc. Due to the decline in ratings of the entire night of programming, Fox cancelled all the shows on that night (which also included The Sinbad Show and In Living Color)[2] and created the Tuesday Night movie. The cancellation of the series, all of which had predominately black casts, prompted Jesse Jackson to call for a boycott of the network for perceived institutional racism.[3] Fox maintained that the series were low rated and the decision to cancel was not racially motivated.[4]
Series creator Ralph Farquhar would later co-create the UPN sitcom Moesha, along with Sara V. Finney and Vida Spears. The series (a more traditional sitcom) was set in Leimert Park, a middle-class neighborhood in South Central Los Angeles. Lamont Bentley and Shar Jackson were members of the cast.
