Kevin Hill

...or is this show more than a bit like the movie "Baby Boom" with Diane Keaton?

Highly successful person with no obvious intentions of taking time for a marriage and family has a relative pass away and leaves the successful person their child.

Successful person has to leave incredibly demanding job because of the demands of the child but finds equally fulfilling work doing something else somewhere else.

Personally, I'm hoping the show will be a success. I loved "Baby Boom", I thoroughly enjoy Taye Diggs in whatever he's doing (he's talented and he's eye candy - what more can a woman ask for?) and I'm tired of there only being comedies with black actors and actresses in the starring role.

Someone wrote that the idea for "Kevin Hill" came from the movie "Baby Boom" with Diane Keaton.

This is true. To add to this, this idea was done on another TV series..."Family Affair" with Brian Keith. Remember that premise: a successful professional with a carefree bachelor life (with his butler French, of course), has his life changed forever when his long lost brother's three children arrive at his doorstep...orphaned when his brother dies in an accident.

"Kevin Hill", obviously, is not new. However, it will be interesting to see Taye Diggs, and how he handles this role, if the network will just give it a chance.

Why was the baby on the show switched to a different baby. The baby used for the premiere of Kevin Hill, better matched

the star of the show. The new baby absolutely does not look as though, it is remotely related to Taye Diggs. Was the first baby star, too dark-skinned? I for one thought she was absolutely beautiful. Taye Diggs and its producers should be ashamed of themselves. The new baby looks as though she would be perfectly matched,it the star of the show was LL Cool J or Terrence Howard, but certainly not Taye Diggs.

Did UPN think that its audience would not have noticed the switch, so soon, in the airing of Kevin Hill. I have seen people of color eliminated quicker, in most major horror flicks. Focus groups can be so cruel.

What's the deal with the ever "changing" baby? Last night's episode (5/4/2005) the one with guest star Toni Braxton, must have had 2 or 3 different babies. It was so obvious. In the scene where Taye Diggs takes the baby to get her hair done, he goes in with one baby, turns around and it's a different baby and by the time they show the baby with her new hairdo it's the original Sara. I know they generally have identical twins portraying any baby or toddler character. This was just so odd. In all of the shows that I have watched I have never seen that done before. For those old enough to remember, it was sort of like the "Darrin" switch on Bewitched.

Sorry all you Kevin Hill fans, but this has got to be the lamest ripoff of an old TV-show ("Family Affairs") I have seen. Plastic people in a plastic box just doesn't do it, if you know what I mean. The character Kevin Hill is much too two-dimensional to create any passions one way or the other, and the entire cast seems to be a bit lost through each and every episode. There are lots of admiring ladies (becomes boring when repeated)and Kevins' confused male friends are completely in the woods and clueless. "Kevin Hill" is also a success in the category of "The Most Boring Score Ever Composed for a TV-Show". Why is it that the writers of these quasi-modern TV-shows assume that the public is interested of mediocrity?
