I'm trying to think of the name of a late 80's/early 90's sitcom that I'm pretty sure ran for only four episodes. It's set in a fictional mall store in Ponca City, Oklahoma, and most or all of the main characters worked there/owned it. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Challenge accepted. Nobody has been able to answer this question for over 20 years until today.

It was called Sugar and Spice. It ran for 7 episodes on CBS in 1990.

The small town of Ponca City, Oklahoma, was the setting for this blue collar series about two middle-aged African American sisters.

It starred Loretta Devine, Vickilyn Reynolds, LaVerne Anderson, Dana Hill, Stephanie Hodge, Gerrit Graham and Leslie Jordan.

Thank you Wikipedia for solving this mystery.
