I sorta agree on martin. Season 1 & 2 were hilarious. Seaon 3 has a coupla moments. But seasons 4 and 5 were straight trash homie....i mighta chuckled 3 times both seasons...combined
Watching it as an adult, I was pestered😂😂. I was like how did I watch this as a child and had nothing to say(obviously because I was a kid) now I’m an adult & just couldn’t deal with the remarks. I was not OK. Lmao
@@BenGetItIn Some of the crew who worked on blackish like behind the scenes ,at one point Worked on the Bernie mac show Also i do get what you mean when you it dragged. Later on it in the show Bernie Mac being Sick was causing a few problems during the production of the 4th & 5th season. The Cast even begin to realize something not right with Bernie, They would have to Reshoot scenes if he got exhausted doing a scene and needed breaks frequently. Sometimes he had to wear and oxygen tank if needs a couple minutes in his dressing room to relax.
@Mrclutchjcb, agreed!! Roc is a highly important, & unfortunately, too often slept on, black sitcom, that deserves more love & attention. Roc was real! It touched on topics, many didn't want to touch on, at the time, including the suits at Fox, who cancelled it, all too early, for telling all too realistic black stories!
unpopular opinion.....but I feel Living Single is mid ...almost trash. I feel black people feel they need to CAPE hard for the show because we know Friends was a knockoff white version of Living Single and because white folks LOVED that trash show we have over embrace Living Single. But honestly I DONT CARE, the Friends audience was never gonna watch Living Single and Friends was trash to me because it was a knockoff of a mid show.
I love how you gave the Cosby Show its much due respect. That was the most epic black show because they displayed a successful couple. A doctor and a lawyer, who still kept their kid’s grounded in reality. While being wealthy.
Thank you! I believe you have to give respect where it's due and the Cosby show was one of the most groundbreaking sitcoms overall, and to me they paved the way for many black sitcoms after it. Clair and Cliff were 2 characters many black people needed to know existed in real life!
@@matthewtaylor6683 FTR, the Huxtables were not wealthy. They were upper middle class. Realistically, even in the 1980s, they weren’t able to afford raising 5 kids on their salaries. That's why they originally only had 4 kids. Sondra was added later. I love the family dynamic and showing that there were middle class Black Americans. The Banks were wealthy and I appreciate that both Philip and Vivian were just one generation “out the hood” without ever being over-the-top stereotypical.
@@doogieFive-Four I've never seen an episode, but as soon as the music starts, I'd grab the remote. Didn't even want to watch to see what it was about. It just looked boring. #NotInterested 🤷🏾♀️
The Parkers and Hanging with Mr Cooper deserve an honorable mention, and Happy Days and Friends was the theme songs that I knew it was time to change the channel when they came on 😂
@@derekitson She cared too much about what other people thought & said about her, she always quit her job & would always say she didn’t need that her husband had two jobs.
Yes! Thank you! I couldn’t stand her. Chris had a whole job, was going to school, and she still wanted him to come home and do chores with 2 other able bodied kids there. Smh
I still watch The Cosby Show. Its still the gold standard for black family sitcoms. Nobody can take away all the accolades the show has gotten.I can't stand how much its been blatantly ignored in recent years, even before word got out about Cosby himself.
The quality and message of the show transcends Bills horrible way of living. Cliff the character is the GOAT TV dad. Clair is the GOAT mom. They handled their children with care, intelligence, and still dropped the hammer when needed. The man aint sh#$. The show is head and shoulders over all others.
@eddierascalhaskell4954 is ignored because he doesn't deserve the praise he gets for being a parasite. If he would've been founded out before this, he never would've had that show and he deserves that.
@eddierascalhaskell4954, me too!! I'm just as angry as you, with how many other networks have buried the show, & refuse to air it!! Much love to Centric, though, for having the balls to air the Cosby Show!! Thank you Centric!!
Different World was that show! It inspired me to go to college. Kim was my favorite because we share the same name 😂 No I liked her because she never gave up! Dr. Reese ❤
Rochelle of Everybody Hates Chris is just as real as any of the other characters that you liked. Also, I can tell by your choices how old you are. And because of its time period/setting, Everybody Hates Chris is basically a Generation X show. As a black Generation X guy from the East Coast that likes baseball (much like Chris Rock himself), I related to that show like you relate to Kenan and Kel. I aged out of Nickelodeon by the time Kenan and Kel were a thing, so I have not seen one minute of it.
I remember how Key and Peele joked about Family Matters went from a middle class Cosby Show to Quantum Leap cause of all the Urkel focus. And Black-ish, while good, had moments where the father was acting like he was the mouthpiece for everything Black and was emotionally abusive towards his oldest son.
Jaleel just said people ignored the show because it wasn't cool enough and everyone swore he was being a jerk. HE WAS RIGHT. People made him feel like he was crazy for saying that.
@@kadeemjones30 I love the fact Kenan acknowledged that Kel was the more comedic one of the 2. Kel was able to do physical comedy, which is something Kenan has had trouble with.
@@SimplyExplained90 Yeah bruh definitely lost me on Sanford & Son. I said if he got this or Good Times on the worst list, he done lost his damn mind lol.
Sometimes I feel like you let the message of the show overtake the quality of the show. Martin is #2 at least but the main gripe I had was the placement of Everybody Hates Chris. I agree with you about his mom but it’s still a great show unfortunately its relatable to lots of people and is a more accurate experience of growing up than a show like Fresh Prince. I get you on not liking trauma in content but I feel like you negatively review anything that embraces darker topics in the black community even when they’re true! Other than that though I loved the video and agreed with your commentary, can’t wait for the rest of this series!
Oh you Wilin for having Sanford & Son as #1, that shit was hilarious 😂😂 it was nigga sh*t which I love lol. but it’s preference, so I understand. Even so, these are solid lists 💯 and thank you for shouting out tha Parent Hood!
Mama's Family slapped, just because of Viki Lawrence. Every Show you listed slapped for me, but I'm old enough to remember Mama's Family when it first dropped, so my taste's are maybe a little different. I agree with everything you said about SNL though. The best Eras for that Show was The Eddie Murphy, Steve Martin, Dan Akroyd, John Belushi Era, and the entire 90's and Early to Mid 00's.
Good Times was a show as an adult I grew to hate. Mainly because of the mama 😂 it was like everytime they gotten a chance to make extra money no matter what, here she comes with her “what would Jesus do” ass 🙄. That’s why James faked his death and moved to MS on the slick 😂
@@NicoLodge plus the show ended with the mama moving out the hood with a man, the same thing her family been tryna do for the whole series but couldn’t because she stopped everything everytime she had a chance.
@@NicoLodge It's actually more than fair. With criticism usually comes with someone wanting some type of change. A person saying why they don't like a character isn't really criticism, you are getting that persons opinion or perspective on what made them like or dislike a show.
Can't wait for the caucasian list . After hearing a Step -by- step reference i need to see it. I also would like to hear your thoughts on Livong single.
@@ddconwaysnostalgiclounge I love your content and nearly binged almost all of your vids at once! Its so refreshing and unique! Had to slide Fillmore in there too lol and please don’t stop doing what you’re doing 💕👌🏾✨
I just knew a different world was going to be number 1. Every kid that entered my house had to watch it. Everybody hates Chris was a good show to me and I love family matters too. Overall a different world is my favorite
If you were in high school in the 90s, different world had you wanting to go college. People always got on Cosby for not helping black folk on TV, but this show helped a lot of black people.
This man said I'd rather watch girls gone wild on repeat then watch one episode of Sanford and son😂😂🤣🤣🤣 not go lie bruh the video was hilarious funny entertaining yes I didn't agree with some of the s*** but it was worth it it was funny keep it up 🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
The early seasons of Family Matters were top tier but it became too over the top with the inventions and when the family started disappearing. Also, an underated Black sitcom to me was Amen, it may not have great rewatchability but it was great for it's time.
Best: 1. A Different World 2. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air 3. Living Single 4. Martin (as mid as it is now, it was cool when I was growing up) 5. The Cosby Show Worst: 1. Good Times (I have my reasons) 2. Everyone Hates Chris 3. Moesha (for Kim) Side note 1: I am not a fan of Family Matters now because of Urkel, but I feel like Carl Winslow was one of the best dads on television-right up there with Philip Banks. That's why I couldn’t list it in my worst category. Side note 2: I'm iffy on “What's Happening” only because Norman Lear did Eric Monte dirty. You can tell the quality of the writing changed when Mr. Monte was fired & blacklisted. I'm so glad Mr. Monte got the help he needed & I truly hope he gets his flowers!
I agree with everything, EXCEPT Moesha. Man, Kim was one of the funniest characters on that show. The writers could never figure out what to do with her. They went back and fourth making her smart one moment and dumb the next. I definitely agree about Carl Winslow. Although he couldn't stand Steve, he treated him like one of his own kids and was more supportive than Steve's actual parents.
My list of "Black Funny" will always be...... * Hangin' With Mr. Cooper * Tyler Perrys House Of Payne * Martin * Dave Chappelle Show * In Living Color * Family Matters * Good Times * The Wayans Brothers * Everybody Hates Chris * The Game 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
A Different World is my favorite TV show. I can watch it over and over and it’s like I’m watching it for the first time. It inspired me to go to college. Parent ‘Hood is another favorite. I recently binge watched on Tubi 😊
I had cable off and on growing up and something that was always on network tv was the Cosby. However I feel about the man, the show was funny, it was clever and often the slow burning comedy in the scenes made for great rewatches.
Favorites Growing Up: 1. Martin 2. Jamie Foxx Show 3. Family Matters 4. Wayans Brothers 5. Fresh Prince Please KIll Me: 1. Good Times 2. Amen(literally my granny's fav show 😫) 3. Different Strokes(theme song is probably my Winter Soldier trigger) 4. That's So Raven 5. Gimme a Break
@@roselynholloway7863 I like “Gimme a Break”, but it did jump the shark once the Lawrence brothers got cast. I think that was the first show I watched where one of the main actors passed away during its run. I was so heartbroken when the chief died.
For me, it’s tough because my #1 is neck and neck but: 1. The Fresh Prince/Living Single 2. A different world 3. The Steve Harvey Show 4. Moesha 5. Martin Honorable mentions: 227, Everybody Hates Chris, The Wayans Bros., and The Jamie Foxx show. I rate these shows based on rewatch, impact, characters, and the writing lol.
As far as black kids shows on Nickelodeon, My Brother and Me will always be the best to me. Kenan and Kel was awesome, but My Brother and Me just felt so relatable. Probably the blackest show that channel will have ever done.
I respect your opinion and even though I liked black~ish you broke the show down pretty perfectly and I will admit seasons 1-5 was good but the last 3 seasons didn’t hit like they used to
Once Kenan grew his hair. The show became literally flawless. Tht last season was flawless top to bottom. Tears still till this very day. Andy Griffith wasn’t for going to sleep. It’s when ur sleep and wake up to the theme song lmao
To Be Fair I Watched Hood Sitcoms Like The Bernie Mac Show, Black Jesus, The Parent 'Hood, and The Steve Harvey Show but I'm mostly a White Sitcom dude myself not cause I'm a Racist I mostly watched shows like Cops, All In The Family, Married With Children, Spin City and Just Shoot Me! Also World's Wildest Police Videos so that's not my fault
Honestly, I know exactly what you mean and I understand. I know some black people that were exactly like this and just ended up coming around to black sitcoms later. You like what you like, nothing wrong with that.
@@Jamal-bl7yh I wouldn’t consider “The Parent ‘Hood” as a “hood sitcom”. Minus the cop shows, I also watched a lot of white sitcoms. Depending on your age, you may not have had much of a choice. I grew up watching Married with Children, ALF, Family Ties, Mr. Belvedere, Growing Pains, Cheers, Night Court, Charles in Charge, Roseanne, Spin City (though my preference will always be Fox over Sheen), the Tracey Ullman Show, The Wonder Years, Full House, Boy Meets World, The Hogan Family, and Who's the Boss. I wasn’t too big on Home Improvement, but I knew enough to have conversations. I need a definition of a “hood sitcom”.
Kenan and Kel was a must watch as a kid. We all knew how every episode would end but still had to see how it would happen it was hilarious as a kid. That’s so Raven was just Gen Z version of Kenan and Kel. My brother and Me was my underrated Nickelodeon black kids show.
Great video. Unpopular opinion but Everybody hates Chris is one of the funniest shows ever. Especially when you realize a lot of the stories were things that happened to Chris rock
Gotta give a shout-out to Half & Half. Dealt with some real topics (like Mona being Black enough, and Charles' neglect of Mona) but still managed to be funny. Also the back and forth between Phyllis and Big Dee Dee was so good!
Ayo DD…please do a video on Atlanta. I think it’s definitely up there in the top 10 of all time. It’s so much to discuss about the show, and I think you would bring up points that some of us might’ve missed. Are you a fan of Atlanta?
😂😅Hey bruh, I feel you about MASH!! Me and a buddy of mine was sayin' the same thing!! That one is for the other folks!! Soon as I heard one note from that dry azz theme song, it was either time to go to sleep or turn the channel. To this day I refuse to watch that garbage😅😂
@@dtrizzy69 The movie came first tho. Fred Williamson played the sole black character named "$pearc#ucker". Yet another reason why I'll never watch this show.
A underrated black sitcom I think is Hanging with Mr Cooper that’s a very funny show Especially the first season I can watch that first season over and over
The Parent Hood WAS passable to me (even if the Mom was acting like a poor man's Claire Huxtable), but it fell off when that cousin came on (reminds me too much of Ray J on Moesha) and Faizon Love was replaced by Kelly Perine (one of the worst "comics" ever).
Great job man!! I always love hearing your ressons for liking or disliking shows. Even when it's something that I like. Agree wholeheartedly with you, on the Parent'Hood being underrated. That show just doesn't seem to receive the love & respect that it deserves, & i'll never understand why. It was one of my all time fave WB shows, & man did i ever have a crush on Reagan Gomez Preston! She still looks good! A Different World's greatest achievement was introducing the rest of the world to HBCUs, & that was a massive accomplishment. Despite Bill Cosby's crimes, the Cosby Show is still one of the most important black shows of all time, for all the reasons addressed, in this video. It's certainly much much too important, to bury, & ignore, because of the crimes of its star & creator. It's a damn shame & travesty that most networks are not airing it, nowadays! Fresh Prince has definitely always been one of my all time faves. It's funny as hell, & the writing on that show, was just amazing. I actually lived my own Fresh Prince of Bel-Air real life experience. I went to live with my rich aunt & uncle, when i was 19, in Houston, & i got a bit of a taste of the same culture shock, that Will experienced. Though, unlike Will's character, I'm not from the inner city, but from a tiny, backwoods town, that doesn't even have its own post office, & both my parents raised me. Still, my experience in Houston, living in my aunt & uncle's mansion, was a very Fresh Prince type experience. I love me some Sanford & Son, cause of my dad, who introduced me to the series, as a kid, & i still lmao at it, till this day. Family Matters, still one of my all time fave shows. Carl Winslow is one of the greatest tv dads, ever. Yes they did have white writers, but the show was still highly entertaining, & Steve Urkel is one of the most recognizable & iconic tv characters, ever. Everybody knows who Urkel is, & for a time, in the '90s, Urkel was the man!! Gotta say, Laura was the true villain of the series, & most people are realizing that, nowadays, lol. Some highly underrated black shows, not included here, are the Wayans Brothers, Smart Guy, Roc, & Sister Sister. Especially Sister Sister!! Oh, also just wanted to say that i hate Blackish too, for all the same reasons, stated in this video.
This is a great series. If if wasn’t for Steve Urkel Family Matters would have been another forgotten short lived sitcoms. I like Everybody Hates Chris because i was just like Chris growing up. When it comes to black sitcoms there are four tiers. Tier one are the classics which consist of: Sanford & Son Good Times The Jeffersons The Cosby Show A Different World Family Matters The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air Martin Living Single Sister, Sister Moesha Girlfriends The Bernie Mac Show Blackish Growish Tier two consists of the underrated sitcoms such as: What’s Happening What’s Happening Now 227 Amen Roc Hangin With Mr. Cooper The Parenthood The Wayans Bros The Jamie Foxx The Steve Harvey Show The Hughleys In The House Malcolm & Eddie The Parkers My Wife & Kids Eve For Your Love Half & Half One On One Everybody Hates Chris The Game Are We Done Yet The Carmichael Show Marlon The Last OG The Upshaws Family Time Love That Girl Cousin Skeeter That’s So Raven Raven’s Home Tier 3 consists of the forgotten short lived sitcoms: That’s My Mama Grady The Sanford Arms Sanford The Robert Gulliame Show Charlie & Company Baby I’m Back Checking In A New Kind Of Family Bustin Loose Frank’s Place New Attitude The Royal Family You Take The Kids Sugar & Spice Rhythm & Blues Baghdad Cafe Thea Out All Night True Colors My Brother & Me Tall Hopes South Central Me & The Boys Under One Roof The Gregory Hines Show The Sinbad Show Between Brothers The Tracy Morgan Show The First Family Mixed-Ish Dad Stop Embarrassing Me The Wonder Years Minor Adjustments Built To Last Homeroom Grown Ups Lincs Getting Personal Sparks The Redd Foxx Show All About The Andersons 704 Hauser 413 Hope Street Damon Good News Good Behavior Read Between The Lines Singer & Sons Brewster Place Home Room Where I Live Getting By On Our Own Isabel’s Place How High Tier 4 consists of the pliots that were never picked up: Jackee Coming To America (There was a Coming To America sitcom) Going For Mine Bow A Little Bit Strange
And Don't forget about that TV Show Home Room it came one AbC back in 89 if you don't remember that show check it out on You Tube. And that TV Show Where I Live and The Sinbad Show.
The Bernie Mac show can also go into underrated or rather under appreciated because it still holds up and i barely see people give it the credit it deserves.
I disagree with 1. Cosby show number one over A Different World 2. Everybody Hates Chris great show 3. What's Happening has zero parallels to Good Times 4. You're nuts Sanford and Son was groundbreaking in terms of a single Black father with his son who ran a business it may not have been lucrative but they were living it was so successful they tried a "White version" which would be Chico The Man with Freddie Prinze
When they had Jaleel White play a dude named O.G.D. , i was outta there. And he was from my hometown???? Had us Detroit dudes looking like straight weirdos.
I heard you out on everything until you hit Everybody Hates Chris and Sanford & Son, but good video! Not liking Everybody Hates Chris because of Rochelle isn't really a big reason to not like it. The show is called "Everybody Hates Chris", what do you expect? For everything else, I've seen clips of Fresh Prince (pretty powerful and interesting), I watched the pilot of Martin on Netflix (good, but not LOL funny), same with Kenan & Kel (good, but kinda funnier and memorable), I saw A Different World maybe one time, but don't know, so no opinion, never watched The Cosby Show, The Parent Hood, or Family Matter, I seen What's Happening!! here and there, but never cared for it, Everybody Hates Chris and Sanford & Son are classics obviously, and never cared for black-ish either. Here's some more I've seen (more are timeless and classics): The Jeffersons Good Times The Parkers Moesha (I never really got into it mostly because someone kinda spoiled what it would later turn into and it messed me up, but maybe I'll rewatch in the future.) One on One Sister, Sister (this show was funny than I expected and also kinda underrated.) My Wife and Kids (only saw one episode on Netflix, but I enjoyed it.) Girlfriends (this was good too.) The Game (it was alright.) Amen (I saw it here and there.) Gimme a Break (saw it here and there.) Different Strokes (saw it here and there.) The Hughleys (I saw there a long time ago.) The Bernie Mac Show (this was childhood on Netflix.) Some other I haven't seen yet: Living Single (I want to see it badly especially for Queen Latifah.) The Jamie Foxx Show Roc Hanging with Mr Cooper In the House In Living Color So yeah, for me, as a 16 year old black kid, I personally have enjoyed most black sitcom back in the day, don't have one I hate or dislike, just some I never cared for. But this was nice to hear your opinions, love your videos.
Loved the video friend and I honestly agree with most of these takes. I was in college during the peak of Blackish and I tried watching it during lockdown and it was so boring & the jokes were not that funny. I get what they were going for but it was just so bland. Kenan & Kel is definitely one of the best kid shows of all time. It came out at the right time and was just so funny . Drake & Josh is the white version of that show and it’s a close second for comedy for me. I wish they had a crossover even tho K & K was over way before D & J even started production.
I thought Family Matters was good in the beginning as the show progressed we got Urkel bot Urkel as Elvis. the last season they added a new Harriet it was just bad.
Family matters was good in the moment but I can't go back now and watch it now like I do the others . Still to this day I watch Martin,Jamie fox,wayans brothers, parent hood. Bernie Mac and others.
Ones I love 1. Fresh Prince 2. Cosby Show 3. Smart Guy 4. The Bernie Mac Show 5. Family Matters Honorable mentions- ROC, Moesha, Everybody Hates Chris Ones people love that I don’t 1. Martin 2. Living Single 3. The Steve Harvey Show 4. The Parkers 5. Can’t think of a 5th
That's true about everybody hates Chris I even said that about myself I remember when this show came out and seeing the advertisement for it because it came on upn I never took the time to watch it but it was a good show. It's a shame that people including me pick up on it after the fact is a shame. Really show go on the underrated list just for the simple fact that it gain so much popularity after the fact.
SpongeBob is definitely based off Good Burger From the goofy fast food worker, the Patty Mobile, the gap in the teeth, showering with the work clothes on, even the competition across the street They were the blueprint for sure
I liked most of the shows on the disliked list. Yes, I watched more than half of Chris after it went off the air, but there are a few shows I later wish I paid more attention to when they were on the air. What's Happening is iconic, but I only rarely watched it when the re-Runs ran on a heavy rotation
I love the different worlds is the best -- ( my list would be A dif world, martin , the bernie mac show, my wife an kids, family matter, the parkers, everybody hate chris and girlfriends.
Unpopular opinion: Martin was mid. At the time, it was great but in hindsight, it was just super silly and often repetitive.
I'm going to pin this comment. I can agree with this.
I sorta agree on martin. Season 1 & 2 were hilarious. Seaon 3 has a coupla moments. But seasons 4 and 5 were straight trash homie....i mighta chuckled 3 times both seasons...combined

I feel like The Bernie Mac Show is a bit underrated too. We don't talk about it enough. It's easily in my top 5 black sitcoms.
Going to take a look at every black series and rank them like I did these. It's definitely going to make the next countdown.
Bernie Mac show was funny but the episodes dragged. It was a little like Blackish to me, without the overt "I'm BLACK" statements.

Rochelle of Everybody Hates Chris is just as real as any of the other characters that you liked. Also, I can tell by your choices how old you are. And because of its time period/setting, Everybody Hates Chris is basically a Generation X show. As a black Generation X guy from the East Coast that likes baseball (much like Chris Rock himself), I related to that show like you relate to Kenan and Kel. I aged out of Nickelodeon by the time Kenan and Kel were a thing, so I have not seen one minute of it.
19:08 MASH coming on meant it was time to go to bed! 😂😂😂
I think we all changed the channel or went to sleep when that Mash theme song came on. 😂
A different world is one of the reasons I’m at a HBCU now!
Shit is still inspiring people even up to this generation 🙏🏾😂. Goodluck in school💯
That junt sholl is lol thank you!
Bruh! I hated that MASH theme music too. You had me rolling. That definitely was me running to turn the TV off when heard that music.😂 Great video!
😂😂😂😂didn't realize it was so many of us that thought like this man😂😂😂😂
I like mash
1 underrated show imo that doesn't get enough credit is The Bernie Mac Show
I remember how Key and Peele joked about Family Matters went from a middle class Cosby Show to Quantum Leap cause of all the Urkel focus. And Black-ish, while good, had moments where the father was acting like he was the mouthpiece for everything Black and was emotionally abusive towards his oldest son.
Key and Peele weren't wrong lol! Blackish didn't feel like it was for me 😂. Too many explanations of being black
@@ddconwaysnostalgicloungeThere were too many light skin people on that show.
@@TishaSwirly Key And Peele wasn't funny either!
@@ddconwaysnostalgiclounge I never thought they were funny either. Not even when they were on Mad TV.
It was funny how the mom was mixed why couldn't they get a full on black woman to be the mom?😭@@TishaSwirly
Jaleel just said people ignored the show because it wasn't cool enough and everyone swore he was being a jerk. HE WAS RIGHT. People made him feel like he was crazy for saying that.
Sanford & Son was a great show, ROC was a great show as well, very underrated
@@Reevesbeatz1 Both of those shows are in my Top 5.
Definitely ROC❤
Even though Kel used to do the absolute most every episode Kennan & Kel is without a doubt one of the greatest TV shows on Nickelodeon
@@kadeemjones30 I love the fact Kenan acknowledged that Kel was the more comedic one of the 2. Kel was able to do physical comedy, which is something Kenan has had trouble with.
The fact that you put 'A Different World' as your number 1, mad respect for that. You got a sub, bro.
@@Locke5413 Thank You💯🙏🏾appreciate the love
DD!!! Everybody hates Chris? What’s Happening??? Sanford & Son????
lol you got it dawg, do you
Oms bro tweaking but he did say shows tht ppl love tht he hate...
All classics
@@SimplyExplained90 Yeah bruh definitely lost me on Sanford & Son. I said if he got this or Good Times on the worst list, he done lost his damn mind lol.
Sometimes I feel like you let the message of the show overtake the quality of the show. Martin is #2 at least but the main gripe I had was the placement of Everybody Hates Chris. I agree with you about his mom but it’s still a great show unfortunately its relatable to lots of people and is a more accurate experience of growing up than a show like Fresh Prince. I get you on not liking trauma in content but I feel like you negatively review anything that embraces darker topics in the black community even when they’re true! Other than that though I loved the video and agreed with your commentary, can’t wait for the rest of this series!
I respect this opinion, I'll challenge myself more.
@@ddconwaysnostalgiclounge look forward to seeing more of that! Love your channel, one of the few channels that really feels authentic in this lane.
@@tyfaizon6342 Thank You! It means a lot honestly. I appreciate your criticism too, I'm sure it'll help me get better🙏🏾
Oh you Wilin for having Sanford & Son as #1, that shit was hilarious 😂😂 it was nigga sh*t which I love lol. but it’s preference, so I understand. Even so, these are solid lists 💯 and thank you for shouting out tha Parent Hood!
Some honorable mentions:
1. One on One
2. The Hughleys
3. All of us (The first 2 seasons)
4. Eve
5. The Bernie Mac Show
6. Girlfriends
@@rachelmartin5187 We don't talk about One on One's last season.
Agreed. Just the first four 😔
Ayo it’s criminal that you never even mentioned Bernie Mac Show
Right!
Going through the whole list of black sitcoms so it'll be on here eventually
Mama's Family slapped, just because of Viki Lawrence. Every Show you listed slapped for me, but I'm old enough to remember Mama's Family when it first dropped, so my taste's are maybe a little different. I agree with everything you said about SNL though. The best Eras for that Show was The Eddie Murphy, Steve Martin, Dan Akroyd, John Belushi Era, and the entire 90's and Early to Mid 00's.
i loved mamas family too, i watched it when i was 7 or 8 and it was hilarious
Good Times was a show as an adult I grew to hate. Mainly because of the mama 😂 it was like everytime they gotten a chance to make extra money no matter what, here she comes with her “what would Jesus do” ass 🙄. That’s why James faked his death and moved to MS on the slick 😂
Lmao I totally understand this point of view and I'm not mad at it at all😂
Just because of the mom isn't really a criticism to hate a show, at least to me, just saying, no hate.
The show itself was pretty funny.
@@NicoLodge but name a episode they actually had a “Good Time”? Never said the show wasn’t funny. But overall was depressing if you ask me
@@NicoLodge plus the show ended with the mama moving out the hood with a man, the same thing her family been tryna do for the whole series but couldn’t because she stopped everything everytime she had a chance.
@@NicoLodge It's actually more than fair. With criticism usually comes with someone wanting some type of change.
A person saying why they don't like a character isn't really criticism, you are getting that persons opinion or perspective on what made them like or dislike a show.
Can't wait for the caucasian list . After hearing a Step -by- step reference i need to see it.
I also would like to hear your thoughts on Livong single.
😂😂😂😂I'll get right on this, this is a great idea.
Married with children is number one on the Caucasian list.
Loved this! Would love to see you cover “black cartoons/anime” like static shock, the proud family, boondocks, the “black” green lantern, etc
@@BabyBabylon_1 Been wanting to do some cartoon versions of these countdowns, I feel like this was my confirmation to do it😂🙏🏾. I'll be working on it.
@@ddconwaysnostalgiclounge I love your content and nearly binged almost all of your vids at once! Its so refreshing and unique! Had to slide Fillmore in there too lol and please don’t stop doing what you’re doing 💕👌🏾✨
I just knew a different world was going to be number 1. Every kid that entered my house had to watch it. Everybody hates Chris was a good show to me and I love family matters too. Overall a different world is my favorite
If you were in high school in the 90s, different world had you wanting to go college. People always got on Cosby for not helping black folk on TV, but this show helped a lot of black people.
PLENTY! Probably doesn't get the respect he deserves show-wise for sure
This man said I'd rather watch girls gone wild on repeat then watch one episode of Sanford and son😂😂🤣🤣🤣 not go lie bruh the video was hilarious funny entertaining yes I didn't agree with some of the s*** but it was worth it it was funny keep it up 🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
I cant believe living single wasnt mentioned😭😭
It will be in the future, for sure😂💯
The early seasons of Family Matters were top tier but it became too over the top with the inventions and when the family started disappearing. Also, an underated Black sitcom to me was Amen, it may not have great rewatchability but it was great for it's time.
Wayyyyy over the top
Best:
1. A Different World
2. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
3. Living Single
4. Martin (as mid as it is now, it was cool when I was growing up)
5. The Cosby Show
Worst:
1. Good Times (I have my reasons)
2. Everyone Hates Chris
3. Moesha (for Kim)
Side note 1: I am not a fan of Family Matters now because of Urkel, but I feel like Carl Winslow was one of the best dads on television-right up there with Philip Banks. That's why I couldn’t list it in my worst category.
Side note 2: I'm iffy on “What's Happening” only because Norman Lear did Eric Monte dirty. You can tell the quality of the writing changed when Mr. Monte was fired & blacklisted. I'm so glad Mr. Monte got the help he needed & I truly hope he gets his flowers!
I agree with everything, EXCEPT Moesha. Man, Kim was one of the funniest characters on that show. The writers could never figure out what to do with her. They went back and fourth making her smart one moment and dumb the next.
I definitely agree about Carl Winslow. Although he couldn't stand Steve, he treated him like one of his own kids and was more supportive than Steve's actual parents.
What's wrong with Good Times and Everything Hates Chris?
My list of "Black Funny" will always be......
* Hangin' With Mr. Cooper
* Tyler Perrys House Of Payne
* Martin
* Dave Chappelle Show
* In Living Color
* Family Matters
* Good Times
* The Wayans Brothers
* Everybody Hates Chris
* The Game
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
The worst one to me was family matters Uriel’s inventions made the show horrible
Would have worked if they kept him in the background
A Different World is my favorite TV show. I can watch it over and over and it’s like I’m watching it for the first time. It inspired me to go to college.
Parent ‘Hood is another favorite. I recently binge watched on Tubi 😊
I think two other underrated black sitcoms would be The Bernie Mac Show and Roc.
I had cable off and on growing up and something that was always on network tv was the Cosby. However I feel about the man, the show was funny, it was clever and often the slow burning comedy in the scenes made for great rewatches.
TOP 5 BLACK SITCOMS
1) Martin
2) Family Matters
3) House of Payne (the original NOT the new ones)
4) Fresh Prince
5) The Wayans bros
Favorites Growing Up:

Now the world don’t move to the beat of just one drum….😂 shit triggers something
@@LxrdBreezy00 *cocks rifle, "Ready to Comply." 🤣
What’s wrong with amen and gimme a break
@@roselynholloway7863 I like “Gimme a Break”, but it did jump the shark once the Lawrence brothers got cast. I think that was the first show I watched where one of the main actors passed away during its run. I was so heartbroken when the chief died.
You automatically go into sleep mode when you hear that MASH music
IMMEDIATELY!
Good call out on Parent Hood, really good show
Highly underrated
Omg yes! My faves is when Robert start day dreaming.
For me, it’s tough because my #1 is neck and neck but:
1. The Fresh Prince/Living Single
2. A different world
3. The Steve Harvey Show
4. Moesha
5. Martin
Honorable mentions: 227, Everybody Hates Chris, The Wayans Bros., and The Jamie Foxx show. I rate these shows based on rewatch, impact, characters, and the writing lol.
Entitled to your opinion on Sanford. I respect the bravery😂. I just wish you gave more explanation. You explained the lower ranked shows more.
As far as black kids shows on Nickelodeon, My Brother and Me will always be the best to me. Kenan and Kel was awesome, but My Brother and Me just felt so relatable. Probably the blackest show that channel will have ever done.
I respect your opinion and even though I liked black~ish you broke the show down pretty perfectly and I will admit seasons 1-5 was good but the last 3 seasons didn’t hit like they used to
I don't agree with all your takes but I like your refreshing content and originality. Great job, I've watched several videos and decided to subscribe.
Thank you! Thank you for the support!
Most people do give The Cosby Show its much deserved props; they separate the character from the actor.
My top 5 no order: Martin, fresh price, my wife and kids, Bernie Mac, everybody hates chris.
Once Kenan grew his hair. The show became literally flawless. Tht last season was flawless top to bottom. Tears still till this very day.
Andy Griffith wasn’t for going to sleep. It’s when ur sleep and wake up to the theme song lmao
1. A Different World
2. The Jeffersons
3. Sanford and Son
4. Martin
5. The Roc
Good list
It's just Roc
When Carlton & Will Bet Each other who could live the others lifestyle was Another Lesson On How We Think & Treat Each Other
To Be Fair I Watched Hood Sitcoms Like The Bernie Mac Show, Black Jesus, The Parent 'Hood, and The Steve Harvey Show but I'm mostly a White Sitcom dude myself not cause I'm a Racist I mostly watched shows like Cops, All In The Family, Married With Children, Spin City and Just Shoot Me! Also World's Wildest Police Videos so that's not my fault
Honestly, I know exactly what you mean and I understand. I know some black people that were exactly like this and just ended up coming around to black sitcoms later. You like what you like, nothing wrong with that.
@@Jamal-bl7yh I wouldn’t consider “The Parent ‘Hood” as a “hood sitcom”. Minus the cop shows, I also watched a lot of white sitcoms. Depending on your age, you may not have had much of a choice. I grew up watching Married with Children, ALF, Family Ties, Mr. Belvedere, Growing Pains, Cheers, Night Court, Charles in Charge, Roseanne, Spin City (though my preference will always be Fox over Sheen), the Tracey Ullman Show, The Wonder Years, Full House, Boy Meets World, The Hogan Family, and Who's the Boss. I wasn’t too big on Home Improvement, but I knew enough to have conversations.
I need a definition of a “hood sitcom”.
just found your channel today and I love it. keep doing what your doing bro !!
@@baeebgrl thank you for the support!
Aye fye vid. The top 5 greats was on point. Im taking out K&K replacing it with Jamie Foxx doe.
Always right on time ⏲️ 👌🏽 💯 🙌🏽
👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Kenan and Kel was a must watch as a kid. We all knew how every episode would end but still had to see how it would happen it was hilarious as a kid. That’s so Raven was just Gen Z version of Kenan and Kel. My brother and Me was my underrated Nickelodeon black kids show.
That's So Raven is a millennial show. All of the cast members are born in the 80s. Kenan and Kel are young gen x.
Great video. Unpopular opinion but Everybody hates Chris is one of the funniest shows ever. Especially when you realize a lot of the stories were things that happened to Chris rock
Gotta give a shout-out to Half & Half. Dealt with some real topics (like Mona being Black enough, and Charles' neglect of Mona) but still managed to be funny. Also the back and forth between Phyllis and Big Dee Dee was so good!
Aye, we in here!! Definitely needed something to help pass this work shift. Appreciate your work bro 💪🏽
You're welcome!🙏🏾💯
Ayo DD…please do a video on Atlanta. I think it’s definitely up there in the top 10 of all time. It’s so much to discuss about the show, and I think you would bring up points that some of us might’ve missed. Are you a fan of Atlanta?
😂😅Hey bruh, I feel you about MASH!! Me and a buddy of mine was sayin' the same thing!! That one is for the other folks!! Soon as I heard one note from that dry azz theme song, it was either time to go to sleep or turn the channel. To this day I refuse to watch that garbage😅😂
Had to cut it off soon as I heard the theme song bruh😂
Never watched a show til this day
And they had the nerve to make a movie.
@@dtrizzy69 The movie came first tho. Fred Williamson played the sole black character named "$pearc#ucker". Yet another reason why I'll never watch this show.
@@eddierascalhaskell4954 oh ok I didn’t know that.
How do y'all feel about "Hangin with Mr Cooper'? I always felt like that was kind of underrated too
♦️👌🏾♦️ Yo Nupe! The Nupes definitely have a few background Kameos on " Different World"👌🏾
A underrated black sitcom I think is Hanging with Mr Cooper that’s a very funny show Especially the first season I can watch that first season over and over
I was getting ready to automatically start hating because of Martin in your thumbnail 😂
Another underrated show was: “Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper”
The Parent Hood WAS passable to me (even if the Mom was acting like a poor man's Claire Huxtable), but it fell off when that cousin came on (reminds me too much of Ray J on Moesha) and Faizon Love was replaced by Kelly Perine (one of the worst "comics" ever).
Great job man!! I always love hearing your ressons for liking or disliking shows. Even when it's something that I like. Agree wholeheartedly with you, on the Parent'Hood being underrated. That show just doesn't seem to receive the love & respect that it deserves, & i'll never understand why. It was one of my all time fave WB shows, & man did i ever have a crush on Reagan Gomez Preston! She still looks good! A Different World's greatest achievement was introducing the rest of the world to HBCUs, & that was a massive accomplishment. Despite Bill Cosby's crimes, the Cosby Show is still one of the most important black shows of all time, for all the reasons addressed, in this video. It's certainly much much too important, to bury, & ignore, because of the crimes of its star & creator. It's a damn shame & travesty that most networks are not airing it, nowadays! Fresh Prince has definitely always been one of my all time faves. It's funny as hell, & the writing on that show, was just amazing. I actually lived my own Fresh Prince of Bel-Air real life experience. I went to live with my rich aunt & uncle, when i was 19, in Houston, & i got a bit of a taste of the same culture shock, that Will experienced. Though, unlike Will's character, I'm not from the inner city, but from a tiny, backwoods town, that doesn't even have its own post office, & both my parents raised me. Still, my experience in Houston, living in my aunt & uncle's mansion, was a very Fresh Prince type experience. I love me some Sanford & Son, cause of my dad, who introduced me to the series, as a kid, & i still lmao at it, till this day. Family Matters, still one of my all time fave shows. Carl Winslow is one of the greatest tv dads, ever. Yes they did have white writers, but the show was still highly entertaining, & Steve Urkel is one of the most recognizable & iconic tv characters, ever. Everybody knows who Urkel is, & for a time, in the '90s, Urkel was the man!! Gotta say, Laura was the true villain of the series, & most people are realizing that, nowadays, lol. Some highly underrated black shows, not included here, are the Wayans Brothers, Smart Guy, Roc, & Sister Sister. Especially Sister Sister!! Oh, also just wanted to say that i hate Blackish too, for all the same reasons, stated in this video.
Yay! I was looking forward to this video fr.
Thank you for the continued support fr🙏🏾

Also my mom use to watch Franks place and Charlie & Company
@@sarahsimpkins1311 Those shows were cancelled due to low ratings.
@@sarahsimpkins1311 Those sitcoms featured a lot of black hollywood favorites.
The Bernie Mac show can also go into underrated or rather under appreciated because it still holds up and i barely see people give it the credit it deserves.
I disagree with
1. Cosby show number one over A Different World
2. Everybody Hates Chris great show
3. What's Happening has zero parallels to Good Times
4. You're nuts Sanford and Son was groundbreaking in terms of a single Black father with his son who ran a business it may not have been lucrative but they were living it was so successful they tried a "White version" which would be Chico The Man with Freddie Prinze
I grew up in 80s watching the Cosby Show. Not mad at it at all🖤
Will forever be a great show
When they had Jaleel White play a dude named O.G.D. , i was outta there. And he was from my hometown???? Had us Detroit dudes looking like straight weirdos.
I heard you out on everything until you hit Everybody Hates Chris and Sanford & Son, but good video!
Not liking Everybody Hates Chris because of Rochelle isn't really a big reason to not like it. The show is called "Everybody Hates Chris", what do you expect?
For everything else, I've seen clips of Fresh Prince (pretty powerful and interesting), I watched the pilot of Martin on Netflix (good, but not LOL funny), same with Kenan & Kel (good, but kinda funnier and memorable), I saw A Different World maybe one time, but don't know, so no opinion, never watched The Cosby Show, The Parent Hood, or Family Matter, I seen What's Happening!! here and there, but never cared for it, Everybody Hates Chris and Sanford & Son are classics obviously, and never cared for black-ish either.
Here's some more I've seen (more are timeless and classics):
The Jeffersons
Good Times
The Parkers
Moesha (I never really got into it mostly because someone kinda spoiled what it would later turn into and it messed me up, but maybe I'll rewatch in the future.)
One on One
Sister, Sister (this show was funny than I expected and also kinda underrated.)
My Wife and Kids (only saw one episode on Netflix, but I enjoyed it.)
Girlfriends (this was good too.)
The Game (it was alright.)
Amen (I saw it here and there.)
Gimme a Break (saw it here and there.)
Different Strokes (saw it here and there.)
The Hughleys (I saw there a long time ago.)
The Bernie Mac Show (this was childhood on Netflix.)
Some other I haven't seen yet:
Living Single (I want to see it badly especially for Queen Latifah.)
The Jamie Foxx Show
Roc
Hanging with Mr Cooper
In the House
In Living Color
So yeah, for me, as a 16 year old black kid, I personally have enjoyed most black sitcom back in the day, don't have one I hate or dislike, just some I never cared for. But this was nice to hear your opinions, love your videos.
Good content keep up the hard work!❤👏🏽
♥️♥️♥️
The Parenthood was 🌽,but good especially when he would daydream.
Loved the video friend and I honestly agree with most of these takes.
I was in college during the peak of Blackish and I tried watching it during lockdown and it was so boring & the jokes were not that funny. I get what they were going for but it was just so bland.
Kenan & Kel is definitely one of the best kid shows of all time. It came out at the right time and was just so funny . Drake & Josh is the white version of that show and it’s a close second for comedy for me. I wish they had a crossover even tho K & K was over way before D & J even started production.
I agree with EVERYTHING in this video. New sub because of it! Great job!
Welcome!
I thought Family Matters was good in the beginning as the show progressed we got Urkel bot Urkel as Elvis. the last season they added a new Harriet it was just bad.
Family matters was good in the moment but I can't go back now and watch it now like I do the others . Still to this day I watch Martin,Jamie fox,wayans brothers, parent hood. Bernie Mac and others.
Definitely doesn't have the replay value that those you named have.
Is this just multicam sitcoms? Cause if you add single cam sitcoms you gotta mention the Bernie Mac show
@@meatwad376 I'm going to get to every black sitcom, Bernie will definitely be on one.
Bro tweaked out on Everybody hates Chris….. MF THAT WAS THE POINT OF THE SHOW
Ones I love
1. Fresh Prince
2. Cosby Show
3. Smart Guy
4. The Bernie Mac Show
5. Family Matters
Honorable mentions- ROC, Moesha, Everybody Hates Chris
Ones people love that I don’t
1. Martin
2. Living Single
3. The Steve Harvey Show
4. The Parkers
5. Can’t think of a 5th
That's true about everybody hates Chris I even said that about myself I remember when this show came out and seeing the advertisement for it because it came on upn I never took the time to watch it but it was a good show. It's a shame that people including me pick up on it after the fact is a shame. Really show go on the underrated list just for the simple fact that it gain so much popularity after the fact.
♦️👌🏽 Good work Nupe!!!
@@mpalmer80 ♦️👌🏾
SpongeBob is definitely based off Good Burger
From the goofy fast food worker, the Patty Mobile, the gap in the teeth, showering with the work clothes on, even the competition across the street
They were the blueprint for sure
I agree with your number 1 pick Different World is iconic the cast still tours today 30 years after the show ended
I liked most of the shows on the disliked list. Yes, I watched more than half of Chris after it went off the air, but there are a few shows I later wish I paid more attention to when they were on the air. What's Happening is iconic, but I only rarely watched it when the re-Runs ran on a heavy rotation
The What’s Happening hate is crazy😩😭😭 That’s my favorite show! The jokes in that show are top tier!!
Family Matters episode ending then turning to channel 3 to play Mortal Kombat 3 on the sega Genesis
Good times.
I love the different worlds is the best -- ( my list would be A dif world, martin , the bernie mac show, my wife an kids, family matter, the parkers, everybody hate chris and girlfriends.
Love that list!
