^ Whatever happened to Omar Gooding after the show left the air? I've never seen him in anything else. Of course, that might say more about me than about him.

He also had a big role in "Smart guy". But after that, I don't know anything more either.

He's been in a bunch of things since Smart Guy although the shows- Barbershop, Playmakers etc etc get cancelled. He's like Holly Robinson-Peete- someone who even if the show gets cancelled they have nine lives and he keeps showing up in something else. Some people in Hollywood just have it like that. Mark Curry had a bunch of other projects going on for awhile too then I think he had some personal problems. Really all the actors in this show except for the guy who played Tyler and Sandra Quarterman are people who seem to keep popping up in different things- Quarterman may not be able to get parts and the guy who played Tyler may not be seen by his own choosing.

Sandra Quarterman was much more pleasant, but rather dull in comparison. I'm much more acquainted with seasons 2-5 but it seems like Robin was a character with much more spine to her and thus year one was probably the best season. Raven Symone is much more bearable here than in her other series where she's way over the top. I'm wondering why Nell Carter left- didn't she have a substance abuse problem? Omar Gooding was actually the best supporting player in this series to me- a breakout performer who in part because of who his family is has been working steadily for many years but really came into his own on this show.

dawn lewis, pissed? she didn't come across as being pissed on this show, or on a different world. geneva reminded me of the second vivian on the fresh prince- bland, boring and had nothing to offer in the show. i didn't like PJ-she was too stubborn and brash and so i was glad when she went. omar was good fun to watch although it is such a shame that with the other characters, we didn't get to see his character develop throughout, mainly as the series was cancelled by the end of the fourth season

I don't think Geneva was as boring as the second Vivian. At least, Geneva didn't just sit around looking pretty.

That would been hard for Geneva to do because she wasn't pretty-lol

Awww, that's a harsh thing to say. It's not like she's ugly or anything!

Saying someone is NOT pretty doesn't mean they are ugly. Examples below of women in sitcoms who were not pretty and not ugly either

First Vivian on Fresh Prince
Dawn Lewis
Max on Living Single
Kim on A Different World
