Moesha is an American sitcom series that aired on the UPN network from January 23, 1996 to May 14, 2001. The series stars R&B singer Brandy Norwood as Moesha Mitchell, a high school student living with her family in Los Angeles.

The cause of this show's discontinuation was actress Mo'Nique Imes-Jackson's strong popularity buildup, unfortunately.

I think you're talking about The Parkers, the spin-off to Moesha.

Exactly and that's why both actress Countess Vaughn James her character Kim Parker was turned down due to Mo'Nique strong popularity.

Whatever Mo'Nique is doing in The Parkers is true in real life of actress Cybill Shepherd, no offense.

Again, what exactly does this have to do w/ when Moesha itself, "boned the fish"? I don't understand the logic in saying that Mo'Nique's strong popularity on another show (regardless of it being a spin-off) helped cause the premature cancelation of Moesha.

Most teenage sitcoms, like Moesha, caused a strong imbalance attracting too many 13-19-year-old fans in one blow and strict old TV critics cannot tolerate that. Mo'Nique popularity should lower down the intensity on the buildup of teenage fans. I thought The Parkers was a teen show, it turns it it is a young adult show, unlike Moesha.

The Parkers cause the premature cancellation of Moesha WITHOUT help, I'm sorry about this.

The Parkers had absolutely NOTHING to do with cancellation of Moesha at all. There was behind the scenes drama on Moesha. There were rifts. Brandy and her mother Sonya fired Vida Spears, the show runner. The show started become more of a dramedy. Brandy and Sheryl Lee Ralph had issues with one another. Sheryl did not renew her contract for season six and did agree to be a recurring character. Brandy apologized to Ms. Ralph for her behavior years later stating that she (Brandy) was young at the time. It was even stated that Brandy had a breakdown on the set.

So, you see there is no proof that "The Parkers" caused the cancellation of Moesha at all.

The show was finished once Moesha and her friends graduated high school (granted, many shows like this seem to struggle with the transition from high school to college/adulthood).

I refuse to watch the episodes beyond Season 4.

As a matter of fact, any of teenage dramedy shows might cause an imbalance attracting too many 13-year-olds to 19-year-olds in one blow.

Moesha was cancelled because of the dramedy incident. But it got worse when the spinoff The Parkers caused this show's discontinuation due to actress Monique Imes-Jackson's strong talent, IMO.

The dramedy thing I can buy but it had nothing to do with Monique.
