It’s No Cosby Show, But Hey: 9 Underrated Black TV Shows That Should Have Got More Love

I just find everything Robert Townsend does to be underrated, and I’m sure I’m not the only person who thinks so. This little TV show is an example. And sure, as the title says, it wasn’t anything near the critical darling that was the “Cosby Show,” but the family comedy that helped launch the WB network was a very entertaining show. The Harlem family dealt with all kinds of drama, including Robert Townsend’s character being shot after bringing a troubled youth into his home to get a chance at a better life. What also kept things interesting was all the random celeb cameos in the series, including a thug a** Tyrese and a troubled Da Brat, whose character got a high school degree on the show. And while I couldn’t really stand the eldest son, the kids were adorable. And who doesn’t love Reagan Gomez-Preston?
