you are the ideal man i've always envisioned myself ending up with. i honestly love you. but that does NOT mean i will just shut up and follow the leader. nor does it mean you won't have to listen closely and use your brain to keep me around.

I just saw a clip where Tyreke from Sister Sister auditioned to be a love interest on Moesha before he booked Sister Sister. He did the table read with Bran and bombed it because he was starstruck by her :dead:

M-Rocka

Good Times, The Jeffersons, and Sanford & Son being left out of the Top 10 is wild...

227 and The Parkers should be higher

This list is a damn mess. :uhh:

The prime for Black American shows were 70s into mid 00s. So there are no "top" Black 50 shows.
The days when the Monday UPN lineup was all Black :wub:
Then Wednesday u had to try to give love to Bernie and Damon since their shows aired at the same time flipping between fox and abc
I love the diversity of story lines my ppl came up with bc when we created our own shows it was better than when Norman Lear did
However Red Foxx and Lawanda on SS was a classic

he did end up on there though
It's an episode where he was dating Niecy and tried to rape Moesha
