Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper

When you think of popular black television shows that people still talk about to this day, “Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper” probably isn’t one that pops up on you or critic’s personal lists. However, for those who followed the show about an NBA player-turned-teacher/coach, you probably know that it was still pretty dope, and not just because of the catchy theme song and the Oakland setting. Blame it on the uber-funny Mark Curry (where is he!?) and the fact that Raven-Symone became a series regular (and you know any show with her on is a winner–aside from that “State of Georgia” mess), but the show was popular for a hot second, even getting the chance to be part of ABC’s coveted TGIF lineups. But the show was canceled after its fifth season unexpectedly. Just when Mark and Vanessa were finally going to get married! Thanks for nothing ABC…
