Sometimes I say if I could start over at any year it would be 1994 .... my brother died at 15 in 1995... so that would actually bring him back.... watching these old shows makes me feel close to him
I just dont see how a show like this only have 1 season during this time. i get it during this day and age but back in the 90s where life was really real . this show is epic for the culture. wish had more episodes
Why does Joan always make all the kids take care of Deion? She chose to take him in..That part about this show always bothered me but other than that....great show
@Ameerah McSweeney why does it have to be black families can't anybody do that i had a Hispanic friend& her mom did it to her no child should have that responsibility i wouldn't make my kids be a babysitter
There was no need to take that child (Deion) in if she knew she couldn't take care of the child!!!🤷🏿♀️💯 her own kids should not be raising the kid she decided to take in. They can help her but putting all the responsibility on them is just horrible 💯
This was the chi way before it was even thought of. Had this been on HBO it might have gone longer. It's too ahead of its time. They weren't ready for something this real
I agree. I remember when this debuted. I loved it, it was edgy, raw but also humorous. When they canceled it, I actually wrote a letter to the network asking them to bring it back. Alas, no dice.
R.i.p to both of them Lamont Bentley and Anthony Johnson .and is a menace to society reunion latrentz Tate and Anthony Johnson , Clifton Powell is on menace too
21:04-21:36 🔥🔥 it’s crazy they was talking that gunplay in the 90’s.. fast forward to the present & older cats swear all they did was fight 😂✌🏾.. shout out to them 90’s Babies 💪🏾
I agree. But I think Joan took him in during her heavy grief & guilt over her son Marcus' death. She likely felt no one wanted Deion, so she took him....but never bothered to consider what a heavy workload it would be, especially as a working single parent of 2 other kids.
I think she knew the window was a lesser chance of him being seen. That was the mid 90s. Now, your neighbors will watch your house get cleaned out and watch and put it on World Star
Nawww uh-uh ain't no way that's the case. This show was just too real and too black for them, they probably wanted some watered down sugarcoated fairy tale of a show. Puh-lease 😂😂😂
I agree. I loved this show & I remember when it was canceled. I wrote the network an actual letter (no email in those days) asking them to give the show another chance. Alas, no dice. But this show got too 'real, too raw' for the television, in my opinion....NOT for the viewers. It was indeed ahead of its time.
I felt it was because she felt deep guilt & grief over her son Marcus' death, so she took in a child that no e would likely want....especially back in those days. But her mistake was not really thinking it through, all the work involved.
Yep. I understand why this show got canceled. I don't agree with it because now I'm older and I see why it was interesting. But this would have been a bit disturbing to me as a child watching it
I never understood this a single mom struggling with three kids in a bad neighborhood 1st of the mom should've thought this long & hard when she was getting her back broken in the bedroom when she had her 1st child that way she wouldn't be in this predicament "every decision has a consequence"
Everyone is giving the mom slack but you have to remember she lost her job and had to take one making less money which means more hours to make ends meet. Something in families we have to sacrifice in order to stay aflot.🖤
It would be great to get a dvd/bluray release for this series. It's a shame to let it sit in space and never enjoyed by new generations. It's too great of a production. Truly a shame.
RIP Lamont Bentley and AJ Johnson.
Rip to the goats
A cast full of REAL actors 🙌🙌🙌
Yes, real raw talent unlike nowadays. Straight up 💯💯
YESSUH
Love her singing when it comes on she had a beautiful voice .
Lawd she was actin like she was in a madea play

Right
I wanna see more episodes of South Central
I used to watch this show so much that I still remember the script 😂
I believe if this show would have gotten a season 2 Tyrin turner (Kane) would have made a guest star appearance on the show.
rip Lamont Bentley and aj Johnson
lol Andre and Rashad are always getting into some type of trouble on them buses.
They need to hop in a Uber 😂
This is the two part episode of the gun. I had my hopes up when I saw the title.
Dang, this was such a great show. I've never seen it before. And I'm so mad that there are no more episodes.
so raw & unfiltered.
He talked himself right out of it
😂just like that running off at the mouth cancels shit
Love this show.
This is my first time seeing this show. I love it😅
90’s was straight up drive bys.. I’m referring to LA and California as a whole..
I never liked the Deon character brought too much conflict.... to Joan and her kids..why did she take him in if she couldn't take of him...
I agree. But I think Joan took him in during her heavy grief & guilt over her son Marcus' death. She likely felt no one wanted Deion, so she took him....but never bothered to consider what a heavy workload it would be, especially as a working single parent of 2 other kids.
I was 7 when this came out and this was my shit for only 10 episodes
how old you is like 50?

I think she knew the window was a lesser chance of him being seen. That was the mid 90s. Now, your neighbors will watch your house get cleaned out and watch and put it on World Star
Fox were a bunch of liars, there's NO way this show had low ratings
Nawww uh-uh ain't no way that's the case. This show was just too real and too black for them, they probably wanted some watered down sugarcoated fairy tale of a show. Puh-lease 😂😂😂
Exactly

It did have low ratings. As much as we loved this show it wasn't mainstream. At that time a show like this was considered too real and too urban.
That mom didn't play we need more mom's like her.
Thank you for the upload.

Faking the funk Lol.
South Central was way too real and way ahead of its time.
O-dog and Krazy K
I say that this show was cancelled because it was too real for Primetime TV and this show should have been on Cable TV like HBO or Showtime.
Agreed. This show was way ahead of its time. Putting shows on HBO or Showtime wasn't as common then.
O-Dog Was Born
I loved this show hate it went off
Rip lamount
They stayed canceling our shows that was truthful reality
Yep, it's true!
Clifton Powell !!
+My Childhood TV, this is not the "Men" episode. That's part 1 of the "Gun" episode.
She was looking doe😂
I wonder how this would've played out if this show was released in today's time
It wouldn’t 😂they mad at everything now
It wouldn’t get play on a prime time slot for sure
had this show been made later it would have been picked up by UPN
It really trips me out he couldn't have a beeper now look at us,,,
You can tell Moesha was inspired by this show
I said this was b4 O Dogg grew up
5:18 5:22 5:54 6:13 6:45 19:40 21:49
him and rashad were homies in real life
I think Deon may have been autistic.
I think so too. He likely was that way thanks to his mom being addicted to crack.
Everyone ain’t autistic …his mom was on crack and that delayed him
So is moesha a spin off
o dogs first gun 🤣
This was after Menace

She was a horrible mom. Having her kids raise a kid she made a decision to adopt🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
Exactly like damn take care of the kid yourself....
This is the norm in single parent households...the parent never raises the children the children raise themselves via the streets, promiscuity etc
@@msmichelle2196 depends on the person and household.....
Driving
I'm sure the kids help out with him remember she lost her job 😢and makes less money 💰
Andre mother gets on my nerves she needs to let her kids have some fun time she needs a man 😡
I never understood this a single mom struggling with three kids in a bad neighborhood 1st of the mom should've thought this long & hard when she was getting her back broken in the bedroom when she had her 1st child that way she wouldn't be in this predicament "every decision has a consequence"
Actually, she was married to their father and they ended up getting divorced.
No excuse !!!!! / etc......
The mother is selfish I can't stand her
Everyone is giving the mom slack but you have to remember she lost her job and had to take one making less money which means more hours to make ends meet. Something in families we have to sacrifice in order to stay aflot.🖤
Definitely not a sitcom.
It definitely is a sitcom. It's just not a comedy sitcom
@@tobe1207 bruh sitcom literally stands for situational comedy...this show was far too serious to be a comedy this was a drama with added humor
Then show your message about something apt house career stats JD power weed eater string dart
May he continue to rest in peace but Lamont Bentley always played annoying characters. This one and Hakeem on Moesha irked my nerves.
This whole show revolves around Andre. No wonder it was canceled.
Lol that’s had nothing to do with why it was cancelled it was the network. Ppl loved this show and it got watched a lot by ppl.
Please. Lorenz Tate was a hearthrob. Folks, and especially women were all over this show.
It would be great to get a dvd/bluray release for this series. It's a shame to let it sit in space and never enjoyed by new generations. It's too great of a production. Truly a shame.
