Has Moesha not become a popular sitcom for reruns? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I find it hard to believe that since it ended Moesha has never been reran on any channels since then and I cannot figure out why? Is Moesha not very popular as many other sitcoms of the 90's are? Because the last time Moesha reruns were seen was on The-N channel. And it would be nice if Laff could add Moesha to the lineup. My mom showed me an episode of Moesha and I loved it simply because I was a huge Brandy fan

This is my personal opinion, but I think that the whole twist about Frank having a secret love child (Dorian) behind his family's back really hurt the show's rewatch value. It is without a doubt, the show's jump the shark moment. The whole thing felt like a huge betrayal to the audience.

Sheryl Lee Ralph is among the first to tell you that she hates that storyline too, and it served as a factor in her to not want to be on the show anymore. It didn't help that the show ended on an unresolved cliffhanger. By that point in time, Moesha seemed less like a sitcom, and more like a self-serious, tawdry soap opera.

It's spin-off series, The Parkers fared much better in syndication. Also, The Parkers complete series is on dvd, while only the first season of Moesha was released due to poor sales.
