    The first 3 seasons were the best...

    I started the fourth season and it's like I'm watching Zoey 101 all over again. Where's the audience laughter? At least there isn't any awkward silence in-between character's dialogue but if you're gonna have the characters crack jokes in almost every scene, then a laughing track is needed, in my opinion.

    First three seasons were really good

    The first three seasons of this show were really good. It's a pity CW dropped it i've seen much less funny shows which less talent go on for longer. Networks stick to shows that might not start out well but end up as classics. Case in point is Sienfeld, in this case the ratings were good so i don't see the justification for it. And with no due respect to the previous poster, really "Holly Berry"!!! that's just plain ignorance and it says everything i need to know about you. And oh, it is a race issue. PS:BET you need to keep the Jason Pitts character as a principle he was/is funnier than any of the character, plus Coby Bell's delivery of the lines is spot on. I should add that the Kelly character was a nice compliment to the Pitt's character, it just needs better writing (AND directing).

    Good show until BET picked it up

    I used to watch their show when I was younger and I like it but the first 3 seasons were good. But after the CW canceled the show and then BET pick it up the show had gotten kind of boring and it wasn't that funny after Tia and Pooch Hall had left. The show was just better with them two on it but I kind of enjoy seasons 4 and 5 but after season 5 to me I was kind of confused like what is going on? It just didn't make any sense then when Bleu and Kiera were added it just wasn't the same after that.

    A BET Mess

    This was my show when it first came out, but then BET got hold of it and ruined the last seasons of it. It just became a ratchet show with no substance. Lauren London and Blue together is too much bad acting for one show to withstand. They were corny and childish. Everybody had to be made immoral. The show went from a 10 to a 3 with the changing of networks. I give it a 7 because the original on the CW outweighs the nonsense of BET. And lastly, how you gone have a show without the 2 main characters, Derwin and Melanie?

    Complete and utter crap.

    Do not waste your time with this show. The writing is so childish and it promotes the worst of the worst stereotypes among African Americans. The first three seasons of this show were decent when it was on the CW, but since moving to BET, the writing, directing, production value, and overall direction of the show has gone so down hill, it is at the bottom of the ocean's floor knocking on Hell's gate. I don't have one good word to say about this show. It is amateurish and anyone and everyone associated with this show should be embarrassed.

    Now that Tia Mowry has left the show, there really is no point in continuing. She was the lead character. The show followed her relationship with a football player and her friendships. When she left, she took the last shred of class with her.

    • Trivia
      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.
