  • American television sitcom The Steve Harvey Show aired on The WB for six seasons from August 25, 1996 to February 17, 2002. The show centred on the character of Steve Hightower, played by Steve Harvey, a ‘70s funk legend with his own music group who is forced by circumstances to take a gig teaching music at an inner-city Chicago high school. Due to budget cutbacks, he’s also roped into teaching drama and art.

    I swear Juicy Pop makes me feel like I'm 15 again. 😊 I LOVED The Steve Harvey Show. I lived for the chemistry between Steve and Wendy Racquel Robinson. I thought Terri J. Vaughn and Cedric the Entertainer were HILARIOUS together. 😅 The ENTIRE cast did their thing! ❤ Rest in peace, Merlin Santana. VERY tragic. 😔🙏🏾❤️🕊️

    Juicp pop I love your channel. The Steve Harvey Show is cool and funny. I like how they all had their own catchphrases. Steve with his "Vury Vury" "Ya'll ready for ya next act say yeah" and "Show ya luv". Cedrid with his "All Eddddge" and "All Willy Nilly". Regina with her "BAM IN YO FACE!" and "WOOO!" Lavita with her "TADAL. HOW YA LIKE IT NOW!?" I'm glad the show went out on top with high ratings. R.I.P. Merlin Santana 🕊💐🙏

    This show was HILARIOUS! I watched this show as a kid and rewatched it a while back and I was howling 😂 the jokes, writing, and characters was A plus! It’s wild this show doesn’t get the credit it deserves! It’s interesting to know Steve wanted to add in more serious topics and I think it would have been funny because the cast was top tier. Great video!

    I watched The Steve Harvey Show during its original run on the WB and the reruns and I do like the show. I feel that the show got better in season 2 with the addition of Lavida. Speaking of season 2, what happened to the Aisha character? She was on season 2 and then disappeared Midway in the season. I did not know that the lady that played Sophia was 28 in real life. I kind of wish Coretta was in more episodes, I like her character better than Lydia in my opinion.

    Besides the teacher angle that is the only similarity between the two shows and neither was the first show to focus on teachers and students. I love both Steve show and Mark show but I like Steve's more because of the cast bounced off each other well and even with high school characters they never made it feel like a family to teen show. I loved the 1st season of Cooper and if they wanted to make it more family and move it to tgif they could have kept Dawn and add Raven as a relative that had to stay with them while her parents were gone or something and include the students more because she was a teacher and worked with the kids keeping her would have made more since then keeping Vanessa who they made a little dumb after the 1st season.
