It is now because Monique Imes-Jackson guest appeared in three Moesha episodes and her talent became more popular compared to both Brandy's and Countess', no offense.

But remember, that is your opinion. Your opinion is welcome but we can't say it is factual.

It's a reason, according to the strict TV critics.

Default Moesha: When Dorian Was Exposed as Frank's Son - WTF?!?!?!?

http://www.lipstickalley.com/showthread.php?t=575847

Quote:
That is when Moesha officially "jumped the shark".

The show already wasn't quite the same but that episode basically ruined the show. Frank was known as one of TV best fathers. He stepped up and took care of his kids after his wife died. No one believe that he would allow his sister to raise his child.

Default How Brandy and Sonja Norwood contributed to its downfall...

http://www.lipstickalley.com/showthr...o-its-downfall

Co-Creator of TV Hit 'Moesha' Fired

Television: Vida Spears is ousted, apparently in power struggle with UPN comedy star Brandy.


Quote:
Vida Spears, a creator of UPN's hit comedy "Moesha" and one of the TV industry's few African American show runners, has been fired from the comedy because of a power struggle with star Brandy and her mother and manager, Sonja Norwood, sources said.

The ousting of Spears, which took place Tuesday, was not wholly unexpected to those working on the series where tensions had been building for weeks over the show's creative direction. Brandy also wanted to be named as an executive producer, which Spears opposed, they said.

Spears was managing "Moesha" on her own this season after working with partner Sara V. Finney (now overseeing the "Moesha" spinoff, "The Parkers"). She had resisted plans by the Norwoods and UPN to bring more dramatic and gritty urban elements to the comedy; instead she favored hewing to the show's comedic and more family-oriented roots, said several sources involved with the series.
Quote:
The popularity of "The Parkers" was particularly galling to the Norwoods because of a feud between Brandy and Vaughn, who had been featured on "Moesha" for the first four seasons as Kim, her boy-crazy best friend, production sources said. The two actresses were seen fighting constantly, and Brandy finally demanded that Vaughn be taken off the show. Because Kim was one of the comedy's most popular characters, producers decided to create a new show involving her.
Hot Topics Thicken Plot for 'Moesha': Television: UPN comedy turns to grittier material that veteran staffers call stereotypical.

Quote:
But as Brandy moves into adulthood, and her character moves into college, UPN, Brandy and her mother felt the show had lost much of its relevance and depth. The concern was that Moesha and her family had become "too perfect," turning the comedy into more of a Saturday-morning version of a black family.

The show's writer/producers were repeatedly pressed to add edgy elements to the show, but the creative forces behind "Moesha" successfully opposed it. So "Moesha" did not include stories of black gangs and guns or sex among young people.

I refuse to watch the episodes beyond Season 4.
Some shows about teens suffer from what is called the "college curse". Sometimes the producers/writers don't know what to do with the teenage characters once they graduate high school.

if the option was available, i'd choose the moment the character 'q' was introduced.

moesha turning down the saturn also bothered me, but not enough to turn away permanently..
