It's called Insecure and it's great

I know. It really is.

In the video it's mentioned that some of these 90s black sitcoms are offered on streaming services. Do any of you know which ones are? I only have Netflix and they got rid of A Different World last year.


Also, this is related AllDef Digital released a video about their favorite 90s black sitcoms a little while ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kIZ5jRHA04&t=91s

My brother and me was so cheesy for a kids show, I wish they made more of it.

They got a lot of mileage out of those 13 episodes. I sure as shit watched every dumb episode far too many times.

Most of these 90s sitcoms in general seem to be missing from streaming services cept for friends, frasier and seinfield. Dunno, but i'm really wishing Martin was on one of em, wanna check it out.

When I was growing up the only black people I ever saw on TV were Huggy Bear, Lenny Henry and Frank Bruno. That was it until Desmonds came along.

[Elfstar]

I really, really loved My Wife and Kids, too bad it became just a dumb catch-phrase spouting mess around about...Season 3?

 

[Duane Cunningham]

I saw the thread title then opened the thread to find I was off by about 15 years.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

Reading the thread title, I thought this was going to be about when The Jeffersons, Good Times and Sanford and Son were on.

So did I.

I dated a woman who legit tried to fight me for fawning over Tracee Ellis Ross too much.

Sounds like she needed more rainbows in her life...

It really is unfortunate that there aren't many black sitcoms on TV anymore (or dramas, for that matter). At least the black sitcoms and dramas out now are pretty successful (they would have to be, they'd be cancelled in a red-hot second if they weren't. R.I.P. The Carmichael Show). I just hope there are more 'black' shows released, as well as other 'demographical' (not sure how to term it) shows like Asian-American and Latino.

You know which show I'm liking currently? Marlon on NBC. It's quite funny, almost like a mix between The Wayans Bros. and My Wife and Kids (in a good way, before anyone gets snippy).

I agree. That was must see for us.

Guessing we're just showing our age though...

 

[HawksWinStanley]

When I was a kid Family Matters, Hanging with Mr. Cooper, Kenan & Kel, Martin, and Fresh Prince were some of the best shows on TV.
