The show "Grown Ups" with Jaleel White in 1999-2000. I caught the last half of the season because I didn;t know it was on but I remember making sure i watch this show every monday night. Any UPN shows that is not connected to RAP/HIPHOP gets IGNORED by the viewers and YANKED by UPN.

"Platinum" was a UPN show that was all about RAP/HIPHOP that got ignored by viewers and yanked. Six episodes, IIRC.

How long did "Platinum" last anyway?

Was Marissa Ribisi the women who played his girlfriend?

She was a friend, not the girlfriend.
