    I agree that this show is funny with jokes and humour, but there are several seriously critical reasons why this show isn't that perfect yet: 1.) This atmosphere setting is very bad.2.) There's too much dreadful annihilation going on in this show along the way.3.) This is more of a permanent annihilated dreadful urban type of TNBC sitcom is more of these types of other permanently annihilated urban sitcoms: Martin, Living Single, The Jamie Foxx Show and The Parkers.4.) Actor Alex Morris, who plays Billy Stevenson as the new husband of Principal Karen Noble, should have been added as a permanent 8th member of this show's fifth season cast lineup because he's also funny and serious.5.) The series finale of this show is still too permanently disorganized.I'm glad this show is no longer on air because all these five actors and actress Marcella Lowry moved onto new better projects, while these two young pale actresses both ended up in soaps and got their acting careers terminated.

    This was a very cool show, almost like SBTB the second coming. Each character on the show had a special trait that made City Guys unique and awesome. Like all Peter Engel shows this one was constipated with morals and life lessons, and like SBTB it had a very, very strict prinipal figure, however, mix that with the main two characters (Chris and Jamal) and the great writing of the series and it is a very decent show.This is the only show I watched on TNBC and I'm glad to have seen it. Take it from me folks City Guys is one great show.

    i recently began watching this show, and much to my dismay, it concluded a few weeks ago. its a shame, because i feel that it never achieved the notoriety that its cousin "saved by the bell", did, probably because it seemed formulaic. but this show was, in my opinion, way better than its forerunner, the characters and issues were more diverse, and although the comedy was similar, it was delivered in a more funny manner. also, i personally felt that the show was uplifting for minorities, something i think is rare and much needed in television programming. i guess i'll just have to catch up with the show in syndication.

    Perhaps like many of you, I grew up with Zack, Kelly and the gang on "Saved By the Bell." However, following the disappointment of "SBTB: The College Years" and "SBTB: The New Class," as well as graduating from not just high school but college as well, I decided I might just be a little too old for TNBC. Then, following a recommendation from a friend, I turned on the TV one Saturday to "City Guys," and changed my mind altogether. "City Guys" has all the right ingredients for a perfect TNBC comedy: Chris and Jamal, the girl-chasing troublemakers, L-Train, the humorously "slow" one, Cassidy, the pretty actress, the requisite couple Al (the wisecracking schemer) and Dawn (the smart activist), and Ms. Noble, the wise but fun principal who takes no guff. Hilarious hijinks ensue!Unlike... certain other shows we all know and love... "City Guys" does not resort to stereotypes about nerds and cheerleaders. The gang at Manhattan High "keeps it real" with "special" episodes (Dawn's mom battles alcoholism, L-Train learns he has dyslexia) as well as wacky plotlines (L-Train, Al and Jamal join the ballet club, Chris, Jamal and Cassidy compete to see whose diet strategy will help Ms. Noble lose the most weight in time for her high school reunion). What more could you ask for in Saturday morning entertainment?
