I never watched the Parkers when it was on in the early 2000s. I didn't like Monique and I just thought it would be her and her loud mouth.

Fast forward to this weekend, I started binge watching it on Netflix. I must say I really like it and the characters have great chemistry even on the 1st episode. The storylines keep my interest and that says a lot since I don't watch a lot of TV. I thought the humor was going to be slapstick and ghetto, but it's not like that at all. I like the witty humor.

It makes sense that I would like it because I really liked shows like Girlfriends and Half & Half.

Shows during the 90s and early 2000s (pre reality show) were very enjoyable and wholesome. I miss this era especially because they weren't political or constantly reminding us of the "black plight."

One of my all time favorite shows. Still catch reruns on tv. Youre right. 90s and early 2000s television was the best.

That show was freaking hilarious. No disrespect to Moesha because that was also a show in a league of its own, but after Countess left, it was no longer as entertaining. It’s like the party moved to another building when The Parkers came out.

People like what they like.

I absolutely hated that show.

Lol

I have an aunt who never liked it either.

She hated the way they had Nicki chasing after the professor and how he would treat her

And this is not a "woke" analysis of 2020-2021

She hated the show when it first aired

Lol

The only thing I disliked about that show was the whole Nikki-Professor storyline. I adored Countess and her crew.

I loved this show back then and was surprised that I still found it just as funny today. Every character was great, even the recurring ones. There are only a few sitcoms that have remained hilarious over the years for me, the Steve Harvey show being another one.

I wasn’t the biggest fan of The Parkers, as well as disliking how Nikki constantly played herself for Oglevee’s basic ass, I disliked how they dumbed Kim down from how her character appeared on Moesha. She became almost insufferably dumb during The Parkers

That's interesting bc that's exactly why I hated it. It's like they made fun of her age and her weight often. Then she was chasing a man who would make snide remarks about her. I didn't like that at all.

I love this show. I'm currently rewatching it. While these shows feature Black people, they don't center everything around blackness. We get poignant episodes from time to time about common Black issues, but it's never overdone and excessive. I do miss this time as well

My god sis has a fine male cousin on her dads side and her heavy set girl cousin on her mom side used to chase him at the family gatherings just like Ms Parker and Professa. Lmao! Occasionally you’ll hear in between each song him yell “no I don’t want to leave with YOU!!” Lmaooo

It's a really good show, I still watch it. Like some of the fonts said, the constant pining over the Professor is annoying. That gets on my nerves, esp when they tried to make the Professor this fine ass man who women are desperate to get with. Every woman he had was out of his league, Nikki included. And I hate the series finale.

I rewatched recently and loved it, I could probably watch again too. It was way funnier than I remembered

I love the Parkers. It's always on at random times and it still cracks me up even tho I've seen the episode a hundred times.

I also thought "Eve" had a pretty cute show. Good chemistry and Janey was hilarious. Was sorry to hear of her passing! May she RIP...:emoji_pray:
