Funny!
Each episode is funny. Especially with Nikki always trying to get with her "boo" Professor Olgllevee! This show is non stop fun, and laughs, whereas the show it spun off from, Moesha, was more of a dramaty. Moesha and other character from the show have came over in various episodes. If you want a good laugh, definetley turn onto The Parkers!
Funny Show
I watch The Parkers a lot. It's one of my favorite sitcoms, and the best that UPN offers. Monique and Countess Vaughn are both talented, as well as the supporitng cast. Compared to other of the UPN sitcoms, they " Keep it Real". Hope to see some reruns when it goes into syndication this fall.
Series Finale 2 thumbs down
I think today's episode was very degrading. The professor has disrespected Nikki for 5 years and when she finally meets yet another man who respects she once again drops him for the professor. I have forbidden my young daughter to watch this show in syndication because it degrades women. Nikki's character was that of a strong black woman yet she accepts a man who has publicly humiliated her over and over. She should have told him it's little too late. The professor actions has suggested that he thought Nikki was beneath him and the only reason he showed up at the wedding had nothing to do with love but his ego. If Nikki had married the other guy then it would have sent a message of self worth not degradation. I absolutely hated the way this show ended. I never found it funny the way Nikki chased the professor. What self-respecting, black woman would continue to pursue a man who totally disrespected them repeatedly? Only a woman with low self esteem. Thumbs way down for the series finale.
Moesha's Friend Spins Off
Kim Parker continues to be just as boy-crazy as she was when her character was on "Moesha". On this show, we learn that she gets this trait from her mother Nikki, who chases after stiff Professor Ogilvie in every episode. Unlike "Moesha", which has turned into a dramedy over the past couple of years, "The Parkers" are all about fun. Viewers with good memories will remember Jenna Van Oy as having been a regular on "Blossom". Countess Vaughn, who plays Kim, had a reoccuring role on "227", and was also a "Star Search" contestant in the singing category.
Down right funny!
Not only this show is one of the top-ten shows that garners a huge African-American audience on UPN,but its one of the funniest ever devised. Think of it as the female version of Sanford and Son mixed in with a hint of The Jeffersons,What's Happening,and Good Times not to mention that 80's show 227(in Sandra Clark mode)for good measure. Moni'Que is side splitting hilarious as the mom was always tries to get the Professor but overwhelming results. Countress Vaughn is the daughter Kim along with her friends tries to conjure up one lame scheme after another. When you see it,you'll be crying laughing!

- TriviaMari Morrow, who plays Nikki's best friend Desiree, disappears midway through the first season. Producers felt the chemistry would be better if a heavier actress portrayed her best friend. Yvette Wilson later replaced her.
- GoofsIn reality, there is no way Kim, Nikki, Stevie, and T could have been students at Santa Monica College for five years. Santa Monica is only a two year community college.
