    I'm Not Going to Let You Ruin it For Me Katt

    Even though Katt Williams recently threw all kinds of dirt on Steve Harvey on Club Shay Shay, I'm not going to let that influence my opinion of "The Steve Harvey Show." I thought the show was funny. It was an excellent vessel for Steve Harvey to show off his comedic talents much like "Family Feud" is an excellent vessel for him now.

    In the show he plays Steve Hightower, a music teacher at a school in Chicago. He works under a principal whom he would love to be romantic with named Regina (Wendy Raquel Robinson) and has Cedric (Cedric The Entertainer) as a roommate.

    It was funny times at Booker T. Washington school especially with students like Romeo Santana (Merlin Santana), Stanley 'Bullethead' Kuznocki (William Lee Scott), and Lydia Liza Gutman (Lori Beth Denberg). And let me not forget Cedric's ghetto girlfriend, Lovita Alizay Jenkins (Terri J. Vaughn)--Oh she was so funny. Just her name alone screams "GHETTO!"

    Great Show!!!

    The love the Steve Harvey Show! I think that the entire cast is wonderful. The chemistry between the characters works really well. I loved watching Romeo, Lydia, and Bullethead get into all sort of things. Steve, Cedric, Regina and Levita had me laughing with their off the wall comments. I really wish that there would be more shows like this! The humor is very unique and the improv comments that Steve makes has me cracking up and laughing. Regina is a huge talent. I wish I had her body, wardrobe, and dance moves. Lydia Liza def. on of my favorites. When she would talk about her lover (Arthur), I would crack up laughing. She is a huge talent and I hope to see her in many more roles. She brings so much to the cast. Love this show!!!!

    Hidden gem of the 90's

    This show is up their with Frasier and 3rd rock from the sun imo some of the best sitcoms of the 90's it's just hilarious and well acted. I'm not a Steve Harvey fan but he's a delight in this dry and bitter washed up 70's funk musician who becomes a high school music teacher Steve "Big Daddy" Hightower. A wonderful cast of characters/actors Regina, Levita, Cedric and the Boyz Bullethead & Romeo just make it just work every episode pure chemistry like all the best sitcoms especially from season 2 onwards were the show hits it's groove. You can tell the show was made on a shoestring budget compared to other sitcoms of the time but they definitely managed to make some excellent comedy.

    Funny Show!!!!!!!

    "The Steve Harvey Show" is a great example of comedy, singing, dancing, and great acting!!!! the show captured greatness but I'm surprised it was never nominated for an Emmy or a Golden Globe. i guess Hollywood doesn't want to recognize the greats!!! 14 Image Awards! YESSS! Humor: A+ Acting: A+ Emotion: B Overall Grade: B+ the show could have gone for 10 years. but i think the show had 6 wonderful seasons and it's nice to leave when you're on TOP! Like Michael Jordan. ON TOP!!!! those punchlines were dead-on!!!!!!!!! it takes a very funny comic to come up with lines like that "He thinks Hamlet is something you order with home fries and toast" maybe it's good acting maybe it's Steve sense of humor i'm not sure but like he says "I'm funny! you can kiss my ass if you don't think so!" but way to go Steve congrats man!!!!!

      Steve: Regina, Lovita... you gotta help me with my niece. She just don't act like a normal teenager. She don't talk back, she don't roll her eyes... the poor girl thinks that Snoop Doggy Dog is Charlie Brown's pet!
