For the 2009 season, CW changed programming strategy. Due to the rising costs of production expenses, the network decided it was cheaper to produce hour-long dramas instead of half-hour comedy programming. In anticipation of the change, the producers of this show wrote an hour-long season finale with no laugh track.
Because this show had been off the air for twenty months, the first episode on BET opened with a montage that explained what happened to the characters over the hiatus.
Wendy Raquel Robinson and Hosea Chanchez are the only cast members who appeared in every episode.
This show featured one-half of two different twin actresses, Tia Mowry (identical twin sister Tamera), and Brittany Daniel (fraternal twin sister Cynthia).
