A "Best Black Sitcoms" special that doesn't include Good Times or The Jeffersons.... is no "Best Black Sitcoms" special at all.

Yeah, it should be "The Best Black Sitcoms That We Got A License To Show" marathon.

Either way, "The Parkers" shouldn't be on anything called "The best..."

Haha.
I completely agree about The Parkers.

FP and TCS are great. And Girlfriends is probably the best UPN sitcom I've ever seen.... but it's still not a favorite.

The only thing in this marathon that I plan on watching is The Parkers. TCS has been grating ym nerves for all of three years now and FPoBA is getting there.

Never was interested in Girlfriends.

A Best Black Sitcoms marathon that doesn't include "227", "The Jeffersons" or "Good Times" is NOT a valid marathon. and yes, The Parkers, Girlfriends shouldn't be included. FBOBA is ok, but TCS has been grating on my nerves for years now, its on like every friggan channel.

A combination of the Fresh Prince and Cosby Show would have been just fine. No one wanted to see Fat, Ugly, and unclassy Niki Parker or those 4 Coyotes on the show Girlfriends

How about this:

STFU, Solomon.

I don't think Fresh Prince ended up airing. Everytime I tuned in during the times it was scheduled, I'd see Girlfriends on. I did see Cosby Show on, though.

Fresh Prince did air. I tuned over at one point, the episode had to do with Carlton's virginity and liking a girl. Near the end of the episode Carlton was in his tree house and Will went up to console him.

Mr. Television · 02-07-2005, 12:56 AM

TCS
Fresh Prince
Good Times
Jeffersons
Family Matters
227
Whats Happening
Different World
Amen

Those are great sitcoms. I don't think anything on UPN qualifies as such.

factsoflife · 02-07-2005, 01:30 AM

If i had programmed this marathon this is what it would have looked like:

The Jeffersons
Good Times
Sanford and Son (not a fave of mine, but it still qualifies)
The Cosby Show
227
A Different World
Amen
Different Strokes
Webster
The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air
Hanging With Mr. Cooper
Moesha
The Hughleys
For Your Love
My Wife and Kids
I might even include Sister, Sister just because its a fun, little fluff show.

I would maybe even include some short-lived shows such as:

Sparks (short-lived, but all together not too bad)
Attitudes
Roc
South Centeral

And it may not qualify as a sitcom so to speak, but i'd say that "In Living-Color" would also be included in any "best of black entertainment" marathon.
