Add The Sinbad Show on to that list. I would like to see Getting By again, too.

I dont think they would add Getting By because it's not all black. That show has 3 white characters, 2 or 3 i think.

They have aired shows with white characters...Boston Public is an example.

So why do you think they never added the Jeffersons?

TV Land has had it. Could be exclusive to them.

Since 2004? Wonder when it expires.

The Jeffersons have been on Nick at Nite/TV Land since 1999. It joined TV Land full time in 2002. It is expiring after next August (2009)...but they have renewed it a few times already, so they might again.

Let's not forget One in a Million with Shirley Hemphill should they reconsider airing it after pulling it the last time. I would love to see it! :)

I'm excited to see that Where I Live and South Central are coming to the lineup.

I would like to see the following added:

Cleghorne (1995 short lived WB sitcom featuring Ellen Cleghorne as a single parent dealing with her meddling parents).

Thea (we know that BET had it but never really did nothing with it)

Julia (the 60's sitcom featuring the first black woman in a lead role. Never saw it but heard many good things about it.)

Baby I'm Back (short lived Demond Wilson CBS sitcom from 1978)

Redd Foxx Show (ABC 1985)

The New Odd Couple (ABC 1982)

Homeroom (BET aired the reruns to this back in day, not sure if this was a network television show or a syndicated only show. It featured a black guy as a teacher and storylines revolved around his classroom life and personal life).

The Show (Fox 1996, features Mystro Clark as a star of series where we see behind the scenes of. It would remind one of The Game without sports but in the TV world.)

What's Happening Now (it ran for three seasons but has not been seen in serious syndicated reruns in a long time. It would be nice to see all of the seasons)

My Brother and Me (Nickelodeon 1994) If they ever wanted to go family friendly, this would be a great addition.

The Watcher (UPN 1995 features a rapper as a guardian angel. I think Sir Mix A Lot played in this show. This was the first black show on UPN before Moesha).

More to come

Out All Night should be a perfect candidate as Patti LaBelle already has a show for them and is seen on All of Us. I loved the Preston Episodes, too bad Fox gave it a bad night (Saturdays). What was Rhythm and Blues about?

I never saw it but it was a workplace comedy about a black radio station.

"Sons and Singers" sounds interesting too. Would love to see Esther Rolle in it.

I, recently, saw the opening credits for Shirley's show "One in a Million". It looked like fun from the little it showed. :)

I'd love to see Julia again - I saw it once as a kid, in reruns, but I remember very little abou it. It might be a bit old for TV One's tastes, though.

I wish they'd add 227 back to their lineup.

227 to me is one of the worst black shows of the 80's-lol I would choose they black shows over 227

Sanford arms
Baby I'm back
Charlie and company

I always thought it was "Singer and Sons"

What about "Damon", with Damon Wayans?

or "DAG" with David Alan Grier?

I never knew about Damon, I see it premired my last year of college. And Dag I see started in 2000 and was another failure. Damm David Alan Grier never succeded on anything-lol

I forgot about Damon. It was on Fox as a midseason replacement in Spring 1998. It premeired in March 1998 on Monday nights opposite of Getting Personal. If I recall correctly, the show was about Damon as a Chicago detective according to Wikipedia. It was cancelled but Getting Personal with Vivica Fox was brought back and moved to Fridays in the fall where it was cancelled after a few shows.

Speaking of short lived Damon Wayans projects, TV One could also acquire Waynehead and 413 Hope Street. It would also be nice to see Getting Personal again along with Living in Captivity (the show that was paired up with Getting Personal on Fridays).

What was the premise of DAG and what network did it come on? Fox? WB?

Sounds potentially like a black version of Newsradio. You do know there is an episode of Here and Now on youtube. I checked it out and really wasn't impressed with the series. It seemed more like a WBish type show.

I have 2 eps of Here and Now. One with Omar epps

Solomon, weeks back I told you that I would view my available copy of the show. I have not forgotten about you at all. I need to switch VCR units and stop the tape from jumping. That is what I get for being so cheap back 1992. I should have taped the show in SP rather than EP. But hey, I was 15 at the time. I will try to do this for you sometime next week before I go back to work.

To me, the show was missing elements and a bit on the corny side. When people see the show, they will have to decide for themselves.

Do you have the pilot or episode two? I do have them both.

Not sure, Out of the 2, I only remember the one with Omar Epps

I watched Me & the Boys when it first aired on ABC in the 1994-95 season. I'd love to see it again.

Other shows that I think TVOne should add

The Gregory Hines Show (1997 CBS)

Getting Personal (FOX 1997)

Living in Captivity (FOX 1997)

Frank's Place (CBS 1987 or 1988?)

New Attitudes (ABC 1990)

The Sinbad Show (FOX 1993)

Townsend Television (FOX 1990)

True Colors (FOX 1990)

Not sure, Out of the 2, I only remember the one with Omar Epps


One had Lauryn Hill. If it had her in it, then it was episode 2.

David Alan Grier played a secret service agent and it aired on NBC
Delta Burke was in that show, too, right?

How about On Our Own (1994)? That starred the Smollett kids. Wasn't one of them in Roll Bounce?
