    • Alternate versions
      On the U.S. cable network BET, reruns of this show (since September 2008) end without the Walt Disney Television logo, but with those of De Passe Productions and Danny Kallis Productions. As such, the only mention of Disney's involvement lies in the copyright notice.

    Still Funny!

    Watching this on Disney Plus gave me the old nostalgia feels back and you know it's still just as funny to me now as it was when I watched this on TV as a kid. I still love this show, Omar Gooding (Mo Tibbs) being my favorite character. And I'm still asking the same question I did years ago: How in the world did Full House get eight seasons and Smart Guy only got three?!

    If you currently have Disney Plus and you're looking for a funny sitcom you can watch with your whole family or even on your own, trust me you can do a lot worse than this, it's a fun one.
