Can we finally give Sheryl lee Ralph her credit for being not only the most solid but most beautiful ladies in entertainment history spanning decades , who else for this long ? We talking Dream Girls way before Moesha .....
Preach! Even Angela Bassett acknowledged her talent and how other acrtesses knew they didn't stand a chance when they saw her at auditions.
Agreed!!!
Before that...a piece of the action....then it's a living, too😊
Leave it alone....we still love Moesha but prefer to watch reruns. RIP to all of the actors we lost from this show 💜
It's a long list
@@Soul-cry1 is it? I only know of 3 well 4 people
Exactly
Big factz
Lamont Bentley, Bernie Mac, Yvette Wilson and who else? Maybe its just escaping me right now...Oh and Merlin Santana too... Smh...
"Moesha" was never the same after the turn of the millennium (2000 -2001). It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I'd say that the high school years of the show were more entertaining than the college years. Countess and Brandy may not have gotten along in real life, but they had excellent onscreen chemistry. The show just wasn't the same after "Kim" retreated to the "The Parkers." However, I'd STILL take the last two seasons of Moesha over 90 percent of the garbage on TV nowadays. As for Frank being exposed as a cheater and liar (which was unnecessary) ...I think that by 2000-2001, the writers were out of decent ideas and reaching for shock value storylines to keep viewers' attention. That plan backfired. Also, one of the Mo's college roommates contemplated "deleting" herself and stood out on a ledge in preparation. As mentioned in the video, there was an anonymous positive pregnancy test on the last episode. There were also several other outrageous stories. At the point they started injecting tons of scandals into the show, I knew that the show had officially jumped the shark and its days were numbered. Also, reboots were cute when the trend started, but the recycling of old shows is becoming cliché. Leave well enough alone, and move forward. Is there any creativity left in Hollyweird?
I always say that they could have made one last episode of Moesha to get Miles back.
@@simplyjuannie5128 Agreed. It was kinda tacky to leave such a tragic cliffhanger.
I agree. It was never the same after Kim. It was trash when they introduced Ray J lol.
Id much rather have a show that was similar to moesha but call it something different. It could barrow subtle elements from Moesha without being blatant. But I feel that would probably not even be executed right today. The og Moesha had a lot of flavor that would be necessary to have. One of the closet shows to capture the essence of cali life for black people today is probably insecure. I always thought of insecure as kinda of a modern day Moesha without being Moesha if that makes sense.
Thank you!! That last part 🙌
I hate when TV Shows end with no series finale.
Same here!!!!! I 'm like atleast give us the answers to the shows last two questions.
@@toreytownsend4705 Especially if the storylines in the show is not solved. SMH!
She is still fine like wine
Facts
The decision to make Frank out to be someone who was triflin and untrustworthy was a a huge mistake. I can understand Mo and Myles not knowing but Dee? DAMMMN! Still got me fucked up to this day.
Ray J ruined that show, I will never let that go.
Especially because years later he did it again to One on One
He can act better than he can sing😂
I liked him on One on One but hated him on Moesha.
😭😭😭🤦🏽♂️
Whew!!!! You ain't lying!
Honestly with or without Ray-J, One on One wasn’t good anyway after Flex and Spirit were no longer on the show.
I'm watching Moesha now. I don't like how it ended on a cliffhanger like that. 🤦🏽♀️
Right I just watched the last episode...I didn't remember miles being kidnapped tho. It been so long ago.
Me neither. I wanted to see the show end with the questions they left us with answered.
Exactly
Me either and I literally just watched that episode on this channel called Dabl via UA-camTV. I thought the next episode was the continuation but it jumped back to the first episode, so I had to see why and now I know that was the final episode.
Even Before This Occurred/I Felt That After Countess Vaughn Left The Show It Just Wasn’t The Same Anymore 🤷🏽♀️
Of course it wasn't. But it was still 🔥 Especially that last season...with the introduction of Master P and his shit with Ray J character.
And now that Lamont Bentley is gone, there’s even less of a reason to bring it back
As I always say about classic TV shows if it ain't broke, don't remake it, NO MORE BORING REMAKES!
They can’t recreate magic🪄✨
Yessir
Thank you! Create something new already!
@@lisaray101 Agreed some of the best scenes of the old series came from Real life for instance the episode of Will Smith dad with Will crying asking uncle Phil why doesn’t he want me that scene is so amazing because at that point in time he wasn’t acting anymore he is that boy crying out for his father that wasn’t there anymore A father that used to get drunk and beat his mother and sometimes him and his brother
😂👍
Moesha was never the same after Kim left and stop saying the show ended because of ratings, Marcus Paulk who played Miles said the ratings was not the problem and people was still watching every week, Miles said in a interview the show ended because Brandy wanted too just focus on her music career and leave acting behind
It was trash when Ray J joined the cast lol
@@jmelo9993 agreed, RAY J non acting ass is a show killer...I don't doubt the ratings were good, does not mean the quality of the show didn't go down, that whole storyline with Ray J was just crap.
@@jmelo9993 Yes the whole drama situation made the show become a drama show instead of comedy. Ray J sucked and was only hired of course for the obvious. We don't want a reboot with that whack abruptly ending and yrs later we still wondering who's pregnant and who kidnapped a now grown Myles!🤣
@@jmelo9993 😂 I agree and I like Ray J as a comedian he was funny on One on One, but I hated the Dorian character. Some wannabe thug who was rude and disrespectful and single handedly tore a whole house down
@@jmelo9993 I honestly loved it with Ray J I didn’t like it when they went to college.
Mo to the…E to the!… Hell to the….no to the…. They don’t need to do a reboot. Like someone said Maybe one episode or even a 3 part mini series and if they do that , they HAVE to bring Q back! A lot of key characters have passed though, so it would feel different
😂🙌👏🏼
I stopped watching, it got boring later on in the show.
@@lollol-tf6oi yes unfortunately it did!
Don't need a reboot at all. Besides, it's twenty years later and still don't know who took Myles? No one wants to see that.
😭😭💀
Sheryl Lee Ralph:still looking gorgeous and beautiful through the years…did a great job on Moesha as Dee Mitchell because Dee didn’t play no games when it came to school and at home…plus could check Frank Mitchell whenever he’s wrong….Moesha wasn’t the same when Kim Andell And Dee left..smh…The episode that jumped the shark on Moesha was secrets and lies and to this day I can’t watch that episode smh….
As you can see that was not the first time the strong family was destroyed by changing the narrative for whatever reason media and writers/producers make these choices
I starting to think these yt writers are the issue with all these blk shows, majority just always seem to take a odd left turn that's outside the scope of the show. For no good reason either!
Reminds me what happened to Good Times.
They did that same yt writer BS this year on the “Guilded Age”. The black elite family with the self- made pharmacist millionaire. He becomes a hated lying father whose wife leaves him. What’s worst is unlike Moesha, the black man in the Guilded Age is based on real life black hero and the storyline never happened to him or anyone in his family. That’s how we get destroyed if we don’t read and teach ourselves.
No more reboots, let the legacy of classic sitcoms remain without tarnishment.
Facts
Bel-Air is doing a pretty good job.
@@_AdventureMan Sane here tho 🔥
@@_AdventureMan That's a matter of opinion.
I agree 👍
It would be cool but obviously not the same because of the passage of time in the loss of " Hakeem and Adele " they will definitely be missed.
That part
Plus LA ain't the same
I understand her reasons for leaving. None of us understood that storyline. But a reboot? Naw. Just let it go.
For real. The ratings would suck....too much content around to even care about a "reboot"...
Everything Ray J gets added to get cancelled.
I have hated every reboot so please leave it alone
@@nicoleackerman205 Lmao 🤣 Don't get me started on Charmed!!!
And it wouldn’t be the same without Lamont Bentley playing Hakeem. RIP 🕊️♥️
they did the dad dirty
This show should have never ended. I would love to see it back along with a few others!
Serious question, because I honestly don't know: What were some popular 'family' shows where they had the WM lead have extra marital relations? And I'm not talking about Brady bunch family integration, like step by step.
I can only think of soap operas and prime time shows where there are affairs, but those aren't targeted/marketed as 'family programming.' Even Al Bundy didn't actually cross that line to have an affair.
🤔 good question. Al talked his sh*t but they never took his character to having an affair.
Thanks for re-releasing this with the rest of the video!!
Did he change anything? If you know
Abbott Elementary is hilarious, I'm from Philly and literally had flashbacks, because the principal on there was my daughter's principal. A lot of the struggles they teacher's were dealing with was and is truly captured. Even the attitudes of the staff. 👍🏽👍🏽and 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟
I love that show. Ava is so funny.
I’m from Philly too but have lived in AZ for the last 3 years. So when I watch Abbott I feel nostalgic 😊
The producers sabotaged the show.😏
What's With All The Reboot Attempts?! They need to leave these old shows where they are cause they'll NEVER be like the Old Days. We Can Always Watch Reruns!
Thank you! I've been saying this for the past few years. Create something new already!
Mike Wash they aren’t creative enough to do New anymore
@@nadecha5326 Yeah...it's gotta be the lack of creativity. I'm not knocking what they do create or claiming to do better, but leave what WAS created ALONE! 🙅🏽♀️
Will & Grace STARTED all of THIS.
Nikita Brown that’s why they keep redoing Batman movies, they have no Fresh ideas
Imo I think a Moesha reboot should only happen if its made into an animation show. This way they can pick right up where they left off. Complete the Miles kidnapping storyline. Then again maybe mix it up like have the show actually take place in the current time live action, but have animated flash backs that give us closure on this among other stories. It just sucks that Hakeem can't be there to rejoin them, very unfortunate that he had to lose his life the way he did. R.I. P man.
Let these shows stay I'm the 90s early 00s. Everything is worse now and I don't want my nostalgia tainted anymore.
It does bother me when they tarnish some characters. It also bothered me when Apollo Creed had a son out of an affair. I was like really? Why? Couldn't it be a nephew or something? Ridiculous and unnecessary.
Nah. It’s no point. Plus Hakeem died
Andell and Bernie Mac too 💔
Myles was kidnapped? Tf lol
22 episodes!!!!!!!!! TV shows today seasons be 9- 10 episodes at best... I miss the 90s
sadly it's just the era. we didn't get tired of shows quickly back then caue we had to wait to ecen rewatch it unless you took extra steps to record it. now, people wait till a few episodes are out and binge it...then done with it. or there's so many options out there that they watch the new episode, and get fully enveloped in another shows episode while waiting for the next episode.
after abkut 10 episodes, you have to kinda recycle stories and now aways everyone think they're critics. look at the many UA-cam channels acting like their opinion on shows matter. "episode 1 review" and they talk for 40min and they think they can only be valid if they find a fault cause they were taught thata what critics do
It’s been far to long for there to be any way to bring closure to any of those storylines that were left in the air. Had it been 2-3 years later, then yes, but 21? Ain’t no point. Moesha was a moment in time. A reboot wouldn’t work for reasons I just stated & a remake would be derivative.
It's going to be weird without andell & Hakeem who was with moesha at the end.
Listening to this I am heartbroken! I don't blame her for leaving! Why can't we have a positive family role model! #MisterWalter
I love her and her new show.
Ray j was the final nail in the coffin
I still can't believe her brother was one of Screwface top hitchman in the movie marked for death lol 😄😄😁
Lol wtf Miles got kidnapped? The producers just went off the rails. The Ray J love child thing felt so awkward and weird. Glad I wasn't the only one confused.
I was confused AND pissed!
Right I truly stopped watching when everyone else did in 2000, I never seen this episode and don't want to
This is how I mentally tied up the loose end in the final episode-
The pregnancy test was moesha’s. Niecy gave the impression that her and kim started having sex way before moesha. If the two haven’t had any slip ups before, I think they know how to manage it. Moesha just started having sex and was new to it- hence getting pregnant. Anyway, the season would have started with her confessing and Hakeem wanting to keep it and her not being sure, but ultimately deciding to abort. They get myles back, dude goes to jail and Dorian and his group pop off and go on tour.
Thats sounds about right to me. I’ve laid it to rest.
😂😂😂sounds bout right though
Let it be. Whoever made the decision to flip the narrative on this black done enough damage. I really liked this show and it’s definitely run it’s course. Peace to the wonderful cast members who passed away 🙏🏾
Brandy's mother.
Well whoever was pregnant in that last episode, their baby is grown as hell now😂
It was Alisha she was the only one eating up everything in the house.
When RJ joined the cast, it felt forced to me. I lost interest. Maybe they were propping the show up to be a knock off of The Fresh Prince series with RJ's character patterned after Will Smith's? Whatever the case, no reboot needed for me. I didn't care for any of the characters after RJ was added and was glad Dee (Sheryl Lee Ralph) left the show. She deserved better.
I was a busy working mom with very young children when Moesha aired and unfortunately didn’t watch the show then. I only watched all seasons this year. I love 💕 it and about to rewatch. I read comments about the show before I got to the last season, so I was prepared. Yes it was odd but honestly, looking at the situation with 2022 eyes, the storyline and the way they handled it was not bad. He and wife were having problems, they separated, he started a relationship, he and wife got back together, the other woman is pregnant does not keep baby, Frank’s sister adopts him but wants to keep it a secret until a specified time. Sounds like mature human behavior to me. Back in ‘90s and early 2000s that storyline was wack but today, I think it aged well. I would like to at least see a movie to catch up on what everyone is doing. A series reboot would be too much.
Sheryl Lee Ralph was
FINE AS HELL
On “It’s A Living (Living Dolls)” ❤️
How y’all go Reboot the show with Frank hairline still in 2001? Who go build a time machine to go get it for him?
😂😂
I binge watched all episodes. Great show. I am a little older than Brandy. I use to dance in the clubs to her song The Boy is mine.
Ain't going be the same without KiM
I loved Moesha. I usually don't rewatch shit on streaming...cause I still got shit I didn't get to...and some others I didn't finish. But I still enjoy watching it. I think I'm on the 5th season again.
But yeah, it Definitely was a stupid decision...cause that wasn't his character At All. And it didn't make sense, but Whatever
Good show, but that Frank situation was a HORRIBLE decision. I love Sheryl ❤️
Ray J already had a recurring role on the show as “Charles.” All they needed to do was give that character a bigger role, and add him to main cast (the way they did for Niecy). It was set up perfectly for the writers, as they had something to work with.
Instead, they go for “shock and awe” because they had run out of ideas, and somehow thought that what the audience really wanted to see Brandy and Ray J as siblings on the show too (and that same BS was repeated in “One On One).
Frank already had enough on his plate: moving on past being widowed, remarrying, trying to mediate the conflict between his new wife and his teenage daughter (who thinks that SHE, and not her stepmom, should be the family matriarch), raising a pre-teen son; then they throw another curveball at Frank; hiding his illegitimate son in plain sight.
Then of course, Dorian (now fully integrated into the family) has aspirations of becoming a recording artist. Very original.
By the fourth season, Moesha had already run its course, and the showrunners were trying to do whatever they could to get the show to syndication so that everyone involved can get their residuals.
It seems like producers tend to be the ruin of the show when they decide to change what didn’t need to be fixed.
The direction they should go is to allowing dee and frank to have a daughter
I think we do need a Moesha reboot because we never got a proper ending because the show was left on a cliffhanger and we never found out if Moesha brother was rescued after being kidnapped and we never found out who was actually pregnant in the final episode I think they need to tie the Loose Ends so Moesha fans can get some closure from their favorite TV show growing up in the mid-90s and early 2000s in my personal opinion thank you
Where to watch the full interviews?
ACTORS, NEED TO START SIGNING BETTER CONTRACTS, AND CLAIMING ROYALTIES UP FRONT, AND THERE WOULDN'T BE A NEED FOR A REBOOT...PERIOD
She’s right about that shot with Frank we was awww he’s trifling like the rest which is wrong there are good people out there they jay had to ruin his positive image smh
I’m so tired of reboots!! It’s so many talented writers out here who are struggling to bring their work to life…Especially, black writers! Give these people a chance!!
i say no. She is not a teenager anymore. i use to watch it on upn. back in 1996. I was. In 4th grade.
She was actually in her 20s when the show ended but it wouldn't work now cause they're all way older plus some who died years ago
@@nes96 exactly b a waste of time
I'm here for a reboot because I didn't like how it ended! I feel the same way about the tv series Girlfriends 😑
Yoooo William was the man! 😂😂😂😂
@@ajrose1245 factz😂
Things is their's sooo many "girlfriends" now, Tyler perry's Sistas, Harlem, that one show that got cancelled and Insecure.
The writers strike killed Girlfriends
Those was the 2 I really hated. And yet The Parkers got an end...a stupid 1 too. I was sooo tight at that at the time. Lol. IJS
Absolutely no reboot. They need to leave it alone. Like alot of other comments that I've seen the show definitely did start to go down around the last season or two at the turn of new millennium. So it definitely doesn't need to be brought back now 20+ years later with everyone being much older and in different stages of their lives. I'd be happier with them just releasing the script for us to read on what happened in the last episode. Who kidnapped Miles? Did he live? And who was Prego? The end
I love #SherylLeeRalph 💪🏾💯💖
Much respect 🙌🏾
#Bless ✊🏿
Everything on tv now is relentless drama. Family values are dang near nonexistent. That’s not real. Some families have outside craziness that they deal with inside. It’s not always inner turmoil.
Wow...kudos to Sheryl Lee Ralph for standing up! #greatrolemodel #positive #familyvalues
Brandy and her mother wanted Ray J to be apart of the show so they got rid of the original writers,producers etc…It backfired greatly…Let’s not forget when Countess to do The Parker’s,Moesha just wasn’t the same with her gone.The last piece of the puzzle that made the show complete was gone.Things happen for a reason though.🤷🏽♂️
This is what happens when AA don't control their image.
Brandy wanted her stupid little brother in the show so bad. He was in previous episodes since the first season till she bullied the writers to write him in the show permanently.
I'm the one that took myles away and brought him to vlad's couch in the final episode 🛋💯🤫
TK strikes again! 😄
People treating these old shows like their bad relationships. You gota learn to let go of the past and move on (:
Did any show on the UPN/WB receive a proper ending?.. If any show deserved one, it was Girlfriends....
Other than “the parkers” I think the rest were just randomly cancelled after a few seasons
Too many cast members gone in real life leave this one alone
Great show! Yes, please return
I am sure the story line for season 7 was written! They could have at least let us know who was pregnant
BANG!!! here's my contribution- 1) to me FRANK in my opinion was always the one acting like his shyt aint stank, so the reveal of his nephew / son to me added some more realism to that show. 2) granted the show was named MOESHA and based on the main character but i got turned off (literally) when too many of the "special / guest" stars were focused on her. i personal.y prefer shar jackson & countess then yvette before 5 head crashing gal.. but thats just me
I think with the Cliffhanger, I think the one who was pregnant was their Caucasian roommate. If you notice, she has this funny look on her face when they found out about the positive pregnancy test. No one really mentions her, so I think it was her. I don’t think it was Moesha or Niecey or even Alicia. Moesha having a baby would kind of do something to the show as she was the main character. I think networks would do that to a character who they was trying to write out who didn’t have a major role in the show. Just my opinion though. Who knows 🤷🏽♀️
I swear, they ruined good black shows on purpose back in the day. Moesha, Rock, Living Single, Family Matters, New York Undercover...those shows were mothers and fathers and teachers and aspirations, people we could look up growing up and the producers just snatched all of that positivity away.
I hate the fact that all we do now is reboot or remake and real creativity is just rejected or shelved.
I think I speak for most fans of the show it was the turning point for me when they introduced Frank Mitchell's illegitimate son who was his nephew that his sister raised as her child. It just turned me off to the show and I slowly but surely stopped being a weekly fan I would just watch it to see every other week what was going on and just turn to another station after that I didn't watch the whole show anymore I just checked in until the final episode when I realized it was being canceled I thought it was going to end with all stories being resolved but it ended with open-ended questions
Absolutely there was no reason to add another child Ave change the narrative of him as an amazing father
Why does everybody lie and said moesha got canned for declining ratings. Moesha ended only because Brandy was ready to end it.
I really don't see the point of ANY reboot personally! Its NEVER quite the same. If Hollywood needs some fresh ideas they can call me, I have some. LOL It can't hurt that I really am a Writer (shameless plug I know but so what)!! Ijs... 😉 However, I think a reunion might be cool if maybe they were all back together for Hakeem's funeral or something like that since Lamont Bentley is actually no longer with us. Otherwise, the show wouldn't be the same without him or even a replacement. He was a HUGE part of the Mitchell family's life in the show so... How would that even work? But that's just my 98 cents for what its worth.
I didn't even think about Bernie Mac but who else died.
In Hollywood the Dorian /nephew/son crap is known as "Jumping the shark". Every show in the history of television that's done that has declined in ratings which led to cancelation starting with "Happy Days" where Arthur Fonzerelli (Henry Winkler) actually jumped a real shark.
It wasn’t an Affair, they were separated
Towards the end the family dynamic really started stressing me out. Especially all the fighting. Why I need to watch that when I already got plenty at home..? Didn't watch too much and tuned into something more upbeat after all the scandal.
Sheryl Lee Ralph still looking good too .😍
I would love to see moreisha reboot come back again those was the good old days..
i didnt even know myles got kidnapped and i use to watch the damn show 🤷🏾♂️
,😁😁😃😃😂😃😆✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
Lil Kim kidnapped him
Same. It’s a lot of stuff I forgot because it’s been so long.
Actually there was an answer within the episodes to who was pregnant it was Moeshas roommate not the white girl but the mean girl roommate Who did an early only fans before it was a thing
What?
That’s the thing , storyline wise it was the roommate Alicia but brandy was pregnant in real life around this time as well 🤷🏾♂️
@@gtajets5867 You make a excellent observation I forgot she was pregnant around that time
🤔Damn...was I the only one who liked the "Dorian is really your half brother" storyline lol? I couldn't stand how perfect and squeaky clean Mr. Mitchell was...like a Black Ned Flanders. That hidden son story made him actually seem human and believable instead of a perfect and corny Leave It To Beaver type dad
😂 u said Ned…he has a dark side too tho
Hate how moesha ended on a cliffhanger wish there was a 7th season. They should’ve ended it on the Parkers it would’ve made sense.
Same thing that happened with good times
NO MORE REBOOTS. PLEASE. these bozos cant come up with something new so instead they RUIN everything we already had and try to bait you with nostalgia. NO MORE REBOOTS. WE DONT NEED THEM.
Thank you! Create something new already!
EXACTLY, We DON'T need or even WANT them simply because we're not going to WATCH them.
Stop with these reboots already. It's becoming annoying. 🤦🏿♀
Yezzzzza!
They need to hurry up with the reboot at least a couple more seasons
She never ages.
If she wasn’t on moesha she would’ve been a perfect aunt viv replacement
That switch happened long before Moesha even started airing lol so she could have.
Yes.
Even tho I didn't like how they left us hanging, we don't need a reboot. Maybe a two hour movie that wraps up some loose ends would work but rebooting? No✌
I don't want a reboot. Rather like a three day 2hour special where they wrap the series up with a proper finale, 20+ years later. A good handful of the characters are no longer with us, but that would be dope.
No Reboot. Too Many Cast Has Passed But Great Show.
DANG. Sheryl was FINE back in tha day !!! LOL. Now she's even more GOREOUS than when she was younger !!! I wouldn't mind a reboot. Are there any other black sitcoms on tv ???
if there was a reboot it wouldn’t be the same without hakeem
