One of the most original and charming animated series I've seen. Eddie Murphy has created an animated comedy set in an urban housing project that presents its subject matter without a trace of self-consciousness, political correctness or disrespect for its lovable characters.
The muddle-headed but harmless junkie, the shotgun toting grandma, the faceless city bureaucrats at the HUD headquarters; they all hint at real life without making this particular plump, white suburban viewer itchy with guilt over his better life. What a jewel! Of course, like everything else I've ever liked on TV (Brimstone, Max Headroom) it has vanished. Check with me to see if a show you like will stay on the air. If I like it- kiss it goodbye!
