Show was horrible. I watched a few episodes once when I was getting my hair braided . At the time it came out the coli definitely underestimated how many woman watch tv and are on the internet . Show is chock full of lsa talking points . No straight black men on the show besides latifahs “love” interest . Latifah, her daughter , momma and gay sister running around doing dumb shyt and of course the daughters father is no where to be found

Good riddance. The idea was ridiculous

Damn, just short of the mark to put the show in syndication.



Then again I wonder if people still watch random reruns of TV shows in 2025. I'm not talking about streaming it on Netflix or something, I mean watching a rerun on cable or some random network TV channel on a sunday afternoon or something.



As a kid I ate GOOD off of shows in syndication, pretty much every Martin episode I watched was in syndication. Same goes for "My Wife and Kids".

There are a LOT of boomers who still watch TV

The kid's father, the cop's father and brother are straight as well

5 seasons is a good run especially in this age of network television.

Unfortunately for them, too many shows and not enough spots to go around.
