    No love for the short lived Out all Night and South Central

    Sister sister was wack
    Moesha ehh
    Mr Cooper was aight
    Family Matters was ehhh


    i mean i watched all of them Family matters probably the most of them but i wouldnt put them in my favorite black shoes ever

    Everybody Hates Chris was funny as ? as well as the Bernie Mac show but they seemed to play with these shows by moving hem around.. Especially Everybody Hates Chris.. from my memory

    No My Wife and Kids, Smart Guy, Malcolm and Eddie, Parent Hood and In The House. It should have been the top 30 and what was Julia?

    smh

    Out All Night and South Central are honorables mentions. But they came and went so fast.

    Bruhs I kno' there wasn't a ? in sight but let's be objective. Friends up until Rachel got pregnant was GOAT-worthy

    I'd rather watch the Golden girls than friends, Sophia>>>>

    List seems pretty accurate, probably would put the Jeffersons higher but 6 ain't bad

    My list :

    -Good Times
    -Family Matters
    -Soul Food
    -A Different World
    -Moesha
    -South Central
    -My Brother and Me (can't remember if that's what it was called, I didn't watch it or South Central until a few years ago when I found them on youtube)
    -Sparks
    -Thea
    -Smart Guy
    -Sister, Sister
    -The Parenthood

    I might be missing some. No particular order but the last two are probably the weakest. I never liked the Cosby Show. I watched Fresh Prince at one point but it's boring to me now. Same with the Jamie Foxx show and the Steve Harvey Show but Fresh Prince is better than both of them. The Wayans Bros. and Fat Albert were all right but I can't see myself watching them now. Aside from Soul Food I can't think of any 2000s or 2010s black sitcom that I really like.

    There used to be this site online called urban entertainment that had these cartoon mini sitcoms, I don't know who made them. I miss that.

    Take off Julia and roc and it'd be a solid list.

    I know people like to hate on The Game for some reason, but it should be on the list.

    It was cool when it was about a black woman trying to navigate the world of sports management. A world that was very hostile and male domainated. Then the ? jjust became another soap opera and as a result, garbage. The Games fall off was ugly to see.

    Tee Tee being Turtle
    Jason being Johnny Drama
    Tasha Mack being Ari Gold

    Three of those shows are getting removed and replaced with Smart Guy, In the house, and The parent hood.

    Yea, Smart Guy was a good show. Parent Hood shouldve been wack, but was always watchable.

    In The House was better when they got rid of Debbie Allen and the nerdy boy, and refocused on LL, Maia Cambell, Carlton and Kim Wayans.

    Remember when they premiered the music video for LL's "Phenomenon" after an episode of In the House and all it was was LL molesting ? through a fish-eye lens? Rofl...
