ABC comedy back in 1993. About a single black mother raising 4 kids. Brandy Norwood and Jason Weaver got their starts in this comedy.

I use to love that show. There was a lot of friction behind the scenes because Thea Vidale and Brandy didn't get along. Yvette Wilson, who played Thea's sister was my favorite.

It's a shame the show didn't come along during the UPN and WB era because it would have defintely lasted more than 7 months.

The star Thea Vidale is in poor condition as far as health wise. She is currently playing "Shelton Benjamin's Momma" on WWE tv.

A short-lived comedy in 92 that lasted about 5 or 6 months with Tony Danza and Scott Baio. Maybe I should put that show on my Hunt List

It was based on those Look Who's Talking movies, I think. Tony Danza was the voice of the baby. I don't remember him physically being on the show.

The only time I remember watching "Baby Talk" was when Anna Maria Horsford from Amen guest starred as a pregnant lady who went into labor in Scott Baio's apartment. It seems like it was on longer than six months.

I agree. I taped some episodes of Thea off BET several years ago but I accidentally taped over them :crazy: My favorite episode of Thea is when Thea is trying to get to a Smokey Robinson concert but she keeps getting distracted by her kid's problems.

I remember this show, I actually found it entertaining my mother even liked it, which still shocks me because I didn't think a woman like her would watch it.

My brother and my aunt on the other hand hated it. They thought she was loud and ghetto.

LOL!!! Wow, 13 years, jesus, I was 13 years old too! Seems like yesterday.

Only reason I was shocked that my mother liked it was because she was a Russian-Hungarian immigrant who didn't speak english that good and it like sitcoms too much(except for Cosby Show, Cheers, and M.A.S.H) and instead watched a lot of PBS.

I wonder what happened to the kid who played the youngest son. His haircut was funny, I wonder who cut that boy up!:lol: He had a bowl cut and his fade was uneven.

haha, its funny, because the woman who played the main character was in the wwe for a bit, playing a wrestler's sassy mother. she was good in that role; wwe axed the gimmick after a few months though and i havent heard anything about her since.
