Parkers Cancelled - Will end on May 10

[Miss Golden]

Monday, May 10

8:00/7:00c - "The Parkers" (Series Finale)
While the plans are underway for Nikki’s wedding to Johnnie, the Professor finally realizes he is in love with Nikki and is determined to stop the wedding, until Andell stops him first. Meanwhile, Stevie and T finally graduate from school.

Who is Johnnie? What they mean Andell stops Stanley from stoppin the wedding? Does Andell & Stanley become a couple?

UPN confirmed Tuesday that The Parkers will end its five-year run on May 10 with an episode built around Nikki's wedding to Johnnie. The following night, the network will air America's Next Top Model: The Runway Ahead, an hourlong special that revisits the second season's winners (Yoanna) and losers (Shandi's crybaby boyfriend).

I think it's time for this show to end anyway. I haven't watched this in a while so I don't know who Johnnie is though. 5 years is a good run. Most shows aspire to run 5 years. The actors can sit back and live off the rerun money.

Isn't Johnny the professor friend from seasons ago that she fell in love with? I can't remember. And why would she marry Him??? :confused:

[isiahthomas]

Is Johnnie the dude with the gray patch in his head?

[danithang]

I've just seen previews and Johnnie is some new dude played by Mel Jackson (the guy that played Semuwell (sp) in Soul Food the movie and he played in the last season of Living Single). Supposedly from the episode summaries I've read, Andell hooks this guy up with Nikki and she doesn't give him a chance at first, then she eventually falls for him. Of course, Nikki thinks she's cheating on the professor, but I guess she eventually gets over it. This guy hasn't existed before he's just gonna be forced upon us in the final 3 episodes in order for Stanley to admit he is REALLY in love with Nikki.

Personally I hope it ends the way I think its gonna end, with Stanley's feelings coming out and she decides to get with him for real and its not just all in her head. Cause I would hate for her to get married to this dude she barely knows and not knowing how Stanley feels about her and it would defeat the whole purpose of Nikki chasing the professor after all these years.

Also I don't think Stanley and Andell will hook up, I think she will try and talk him out of it. She will probably tell him to let Nikki be happy and not to pull her back into the obsession she had for him only for him to let her down or something like that. Or Andell might be against the marriage also and her and Stanley might pretend to be involved to see if Nikki will care or not. I just hope it ends well because this show stayed pretty consistent all the way through and didn't have any dramatic or annoying changes in the show that would have messed it up "cough Moesha cough", let's just hope they don't do that in the last couple of episodes.

[isiahthomas]

Mel Jackson is gonna be Nikki's love interest? Hahahahahahaha. They wouldn't even look right together. Mel has played in a lot of movies i see. He was in The Temptations movie & he was in a recent movie with Vivica Fox & Shemar Moore called Motives. He was also in Deliver Us From Eva & Uninvited Guest with Mekhi Phifer & Mari Morrow. Danithang i see u like Ginuwine since u got a avatar picture of him. Did u see him in Juwanna Mann movie with Vivica Fox, Miguel Nunez, Tommy Davidson, Kim Wayans? That movie sucked so bad. He was Vivica's boyfriend in the movie.

[danithang]

Yeah I've seen Juwanna Mann, it was alright but nothing special. And yeah I love Ginuwine, he was looking pretty good in that movie, too bad he was two-timing Vivica.

[CCRYDER1968]

I think it would be WAY to predictable for Nikki and Stanley to get together!!

It was time a few years ago. I won't miss this show at all. It would've been nice if it had the same quality as Moesha, but this show was just silly. Each episode: HEY PROFESSOR OGILVIE!! HEY BOO! HEY PROFESSOR OGILVIE!! HEY PROFESSOR OGILVIE!! HEY BOO!! It was tired.

[jamesanthony]

I only watch this show on occassion, but the difference between this and Moesha is that this a total farce. They're not trying to make any sort of social statement and it's not pretending to be anything groundbreaking or deep. I've read that a lot of Moesha fans thought Moesha was too pretentious and self-important and there were too many very special episodes. For a show like that to have never resolved its ending is weird, especially when they had a spin-off still in production where they could have mentioned what happened to Moesha. At least The Parkers knew they were getting cancelled and so they're bringing it to some sort of conclusion.

I saw last night's show and it appears that everyone is going to find their soulmate. Woody is getting married and Andell finally has a man. I like that guy she's with. He used to be Theo's friend on The Cosby Show. He suits her well enough.

I don't think Nikki Parker is going to marry Mel Jackson though. I bet they have something similar to A Different World with Nikki marrying the Professor at the wedding instead of Johnnie. Ogilvee will probably say something like he can't imagine his life without her and she'll melt and marry him.

Actually, when I watch the reruns it is evident from the very first season that they were in a sense meant to be together. They are more compatible than I think he wants to admit. Stanley has a fixation with model looking professional females so I think he's been running from facing up to his feelings about being in love with a woman who looks and acts agressive like Ms Parker.

[isiahthomas]

Woody is gettin married? LOL. Andell finally got a man? Damn i wish i would've watched yesterday's episode. I thought it might've been a rerun. That's why i didn't watch it. UPN has been showing reruns lately of the black shows which i'm sick & tired of. Vashti1999 u have a point. I'm sick of Nikki always saying hey professor, hey boo hahahahahahahahahaha. Can't she say anything else? LOL.

I think it's going to end with the Professor and Nikki getting married. That would be a good way to end the series with Nikki finally getting her man!

[isiahthomas]

Felicitylen i sent u a pm message about The Practice episode Sunday.

[Lisa_06]

i know the nikki new boyfriend is going to ask her to marry him and she is going ot say yes but her boo is going to try to stop him but andell stops him first! he says that he really does love nikki and he couldnt live with out her in his life! so he goes to nikki wedding and tell them to stop the wedding! what happens after that i dont know what man she choose to marry but i hope she get her boo!

That's what I liked about Moesha, that they touched upon some social issues from time to time. I guess I can understand viewers who watch comedies for comedy, but I'm the type to appreciate when they try and put a message in there. I kind of think UPN left the show in limbo as to whether it was a season finale or series finale. Moesha deserved a better end than it had. I think I expected the same type of quality show in The Parkers, and although I pretty much watched it all the time, it was more to support it because it's a black sitcom, not because I thought it was funny. I was just disappointed by the Parkers.

[marvin g]

I agree! They left the show in limbo! Miles had gotten kidnapped if I'm not mistaken! I was waiting to see what happen and then poof the show was gone!

[isiahthomas]

LOL@Miles gettin kidnapped on Moesha. I don't remember that. I keep seeing him in this Sprite commercial with that little toy black dude with the little afro. They show that commercial a lot. I was surprised to see his ugly ass sittin on the steps with those dudes LOL. I guess he gotta get paid somehow since Moesha went off the air.

[jamesanthony]

Miles was in an at least one episode of The Parkers where Kim was running a sweatshop. I don't know if that episode is from after Moesha ended or not.

I read in some magazine or someplace that Moesha ended abruptly because Brandy got bored with playing the character. Usually when a long running show with a continuing storyline gets axed the network gives the producers enough notice so they can tie up loose ends. It's very fishy. Since both shows are produced by the same company you'd think they would have at least said what happened to Miles and Moesha. Moesha or Neicy were supposed to have been pregnant. I guess we can assume that it wasn't Neicy because I believe she was on the Parkers after that.

I guess shows shouldn't always end a season with a cliffhanger if the ratings are poor because they can get cancelled and the viewers never know what happened. Grown-Ups with Jaleel WHite had an unresolved cliffhanger too. So did Soap in 1981.

[Floridaboy2006]

how come no one cared to mention that hte parkers were ending, i just recently realized that they were in fact being cancelled. it doesnt even seem like the show has been on for 5 years btu i guess time flyes i will really miss the show and all nikkie and kim put us threw, no one can forget stevie van low, and Q, my fav episode was when kim got high IQ test scores, and when Q found out chili had aids, well thas a few.

[Lisa_06]

Yeah Floriddaboy2006 i feel where you coming from! Im gone miss the parkers too! That show has been on for five years but those five years has went by so fast! I can't wait to come home in watch the parkers on mondays to see what's next with the short and sometimes slow kim and the funny and outgoing nikki parker. Now when i come home i got to look at girlfriends (i hate that show) or half and half (so stupid)! No more parkers which iam so sad about! I wish it was something people could do to keep the parkers on! Well the good thing about it is that they will all be making money sitting at home on their a**! So i aint mad at em about that! Mo'nique will still be doing movies and Yevette Wilson too but i dont know about Countess Vaughn James or the rest of them! Best of Luck to the cast of The PARKERS for whatever is up next for them!!!!

[isiahthomas]

Ken Lawson's name on the show is T, not Q. Q is the dude who played on Moesha who dated Moesha.

[Lisa_06]

Yeah Ken name is T on the parkers!

[jamesanthony]

I saw last night's epsode, part 2 of the end, and there is nothing to indicate that Stanley is going to confess his love for Nikki and try to stop the wedding. I'm changing my prediction that they will get married to I don't know what is going to happen now. Mel jackson just came on out of nowhere though, but having Nikki marry him would not be that inconceivable. All the other loose ends have been tied up except for this one. I would watch next week to see how Stanley has a change of heart. Last night he took up a protest to keep her from following him to the four year college.LOL

[isiahthomas]

I saw this past Monday's episode too. I hope Stanley lets Nikki marry Mel Jackson cause it just seems bogus to me that all of a sudden Stanley has feelings for Nikki when all this time he's been telling her no over & over again that he doesn't want her. Let her go ahead & marry Mel. I don't understand why T won't hook up with Stevie. Stevie be lookin good on the show.

The ep aired About a year and a half before Moesha got the axe.

[Lisa_06]

Well everytime Nikki get a man Stanley want's he. Like when she was with his old friend from high school and wanted her. It's like everytime she get over him he find a way to get her back into him then once she likes him again he go back to his old self. i think her and him should get married they like each other but she just REALLY show it more then he do.
