the first 2 seasons - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The first 2 seasons of this show are very ugly to watch in terms of the way the show is filmed or taped. I think it was taped with some type of digital video and then transferred over to resemble film. Instead it resembled ugliness and I got eye pains watching it. When they went to UPN they just did traditional videotaping which looked much better, got rid of the little boy with the glasses and kept on going.

Truthfully, I think this is one of the very worst of the African American sitcoms that ran long enough to get into reruns. I guess I'm not an LL Cool J fan because I think his acting in this is atrocious, Debbie Allen is not good at all, and it is just not funny. The only thing of note for me is that I went to school with the woman who played Debbie Allen's obnoxious attorney boss in the first season.

You went to school with Lisa Arrindell Anderson? She is fine as hell. She played on Steve Harvey Show also as a caterer named Rachel who Steve liked. People never talk about her but i've always had my eye on her. She was in Clockers movie as Isaiah Washington's woman & she was in A Lesson Before Dying movie with Don Cheadle & Mekhi Phifer. She also was in Disappearing Acts movie with Wesley Snipes, Sanaa Lathan, Regina Hall, John Amos.

I didn't know her socially, but she acted in the school plays and stuff like that. In fact in one of the plays her co-star was this guy named Roy Wilson who went on to appear in a few episodes of the Cosby Show. He is a dark skinned guy with glasses who played one of Theo's friends around the 5th season. I think his name while on Cosby was something else. Like Lisa I didn't know him on a social basis either.

I think i know the darkskin guy you're talkin about that played Theo's friend on The Cosby Show. Theo only had one darkskin friend that wore glasses LOL. I didn't know what his real name was though. How old are you JamesAnthony? You're a lucky dude if you went to school with Lisa. She is very attractive & sexy. I like her lips. She played in Livin Large movie with the dude who played Kyle on Living Single tv show. She was Kyle's woman in the movie.
