The series premiered in 1989, and ran until 1998, depicting the struggles of an inner city African American family tackling subjects on racism and bullying. Over time the show transitioned into an overall comedy with the central focus shifting to the families genius yet clumsy neighbor. Although the series did not receive an official finale the show has remained a constant in the heart of many.
With Netflix reboots launching left and right it would be nice to see the revival of a Black classic. The story practically writes itself. Steve returns from space, he and Laura starts a family resulting in two (maybe three) kids, one of those (the girl to shake things up) is a brainy teenager who is clumsy as she is smart. Throw in a few appearances from the grandparents, and rest of the family and boom series gold! Well, here's to being hopeful.
Missing were Jaimee Foxworth, and Judyann Elder.
Honorable mention goes to actresses Michelle Thomas (1968-1998), and Rosetta LeNoire (1911-2002) who was there in spirt and photo.
