The Parkers was the spin-off of Brandy's sitcom 'Moesha' and whereas the latter was often much more of a dramedy-type of show, this show was purely made for laughs. Mo'Nique is outrageously funny as Nikki Parker and is arguably the main star of The Parkers. her constant obsession with the Professor is one of the funniest things about this show. although it is also one that got on viewers nerves as well.I have to say I was never a fan of 'Moesha' and so I was very surprised by The Parkers when I watched a couple of episodes of this sitcom a couple of years ago because it was a totally different type of comedy show. The emphasis was predominately driven by clean humour, physical comedy and laugh out loud comic situations and mishaps, which are some of the most important elements for any good sitcom, regardless of its target audience and whether it is a Black or White sitcom.It was strange though that the professor, Stanley, of whom had a strong dislike of being stalked by Nikki for a large part of the show, later on as it progressed, decided he did have feelings for her after all. That, in particular, made no sense whatsoever. he was your usual pleasant and nice guy still. Nonetheless, the remaining characters Kim, Andell, Stevie and T were all interesting, and it was also great to see Jenna Von Oy back on screen, this time as one of Kim's friends Stevie, after her earlier stint as Six in the much successful early 90s sitcom,'Blossom'.It was such a shame The Parkers ended so early, and although the last episode was rather rushed and out-of-sync with the actual plot of the show, at least it was wrapped up in the end. The one thing that I wished had happened but of which it didn't, was for Stevie and T to get together and consummate their relationship.Still, The Parkers was and probably still is one of the very rare Black sitcoms televised back in the day, and one of which was consistently funny throughout and attracted a good number of viewers.

I love the show....I watch it twice a day here in Chicago.I thought originally the show was focused on silly little Kim, but I guess you can only have so much silliness. Then the focus went on "Nicole" and the Professor. This was really on point. The cat and mouse chase is hilarious!!! Its pretty clean...All the characters are pretty funny. Its great writing. I wish there was a continuation of this funny sitcom. I would've love to have seen more on the characters of Andell, Stevie and T. On point you did a cameo of Woody the cook. Its also funny how the story did those spoof of Dallas and other shows. This is some fully stuff. Can anyone tell me why it went off production? Good shows like this never last.I would like to know where the actors are now and whats going on in their lives.Its slated to be removed 9/1. If anyone know how to get this show back in Chicago on any station, please let me know. Thanks

The Parkers has stolen the hearts of many people throughout it's run on UPN on Monday nights. Now that it is in syndication I laugh with Nikki, Kim, and the gang every day. The Parkers is very entertaining and sometimes even educational(Not with Kim tough).My favorite episode was the episode when T found out his honey was HIV positive which also dealt with racism.I am hispanic but I feel identified with the African American community also. Monique's character Nikki, is not scared to speak her mind and I really think that's one of the reason why her character has been successful. The PArkers is the best show on UPN. No other show on UPN can make me laugh as much as the Parkers On a scale of 1 to 10 I give it a 9.

Each episode is funny. Especially with Nikki always trying to get with her "boo" Professor Olgllevee! This show is non stop fun, and laughs, whereas the show it spun off from, Moesha, was more of a dramaty. Moesha and other character from the show have came over in various episodes. If you want a good laugh, definetley turn onto The Parkers!
