    This is a solution to Moesha's cliffhanger. hide show

    Moesha says that she's pregnant with Hakeem's baby and she will move in with him. Frank and Dee call the police to tell them that Myles has been kidnapped and the police find him in an abandoned warehouse and Lamont and Diamond get arrested. This is the resolution to Moesha's cliffhanger and I hope that this will be a good cliffhanger resolution for Moesha and I hope that the Moesha fans will accept it. This is my review for the final episode of Moesha so please accept it. Until the next review: Adios Amigos and goodbye, so long, farewell, see ya.

    Umm...did they finish the series? Yeah, BAD way to end it. hide show

    Umm...did they finish the series? Yeah, BAD way to end it. Let's end the show with the main character fainting after hearing her brother has been kidnapped...yeah not good. What happens to Myles? What happens to Moesha? Or anyone else? Total cliffhanger and terrible end. There should have been at least one more episode to tie up the loose ends or something. Idk...I mean the episode itself was all right and I enjoyed it for the most part. I just didn't like that it was the series finale. Oh well... Moesha had a good run. I wish it had had a solid finish though.

    The worst way to end a tv series hide show

    "Paying the piper" was the worst Moesha episode ever. We'll never know exactly who was pregnant and What happened to Myles. The show was cancelled after this episode du to low ratings. But one more episode show have been made or at least let us know what happend on an episode of The Parkers. It doesn't matter now. It's not goning to happen. Both Moesha and The Parkers have been cancelled. Since this was not meant to be the series finale, I'm sure there was a script written for an episode to follow this one. If so, it would be great to read it. I hate this episode

    A bad way to end a show hide show

    After a six year run, Moesha ends with a cliffhanger that leaves so many unanswered questions. This episode was very complex with so much going on with all the characters. Many would say this was an attempt to set the stage for the 7th season that never manifested.

    What makes this episode so nerve wracking is the fact that the twists presented were unpredictable leaving you wanting to come back for the fall preview. However, given the bad ratings from the arrival of Ray-J (Dorian) many viewers simply were unforgiving of the secrets and lies episode.

    Such a shame to see a good show leave with no resolution for the characters or fans.

  • Theron "Chico" Benymon would later return to UPN as a cast member of Half & Half. []
  • (May 2006)One on One, the series that replaced Moesha in fall 2001 is cancelled with a cliffhanger that leaves the main characters in limbo. The irony of this is that One on One's last episode aired on Monday, May 15 and Moesha's aired on Monday, May 14 and days after the cliffhangers were aired, the network announced the cancellations. Both shows featured Ray-J and Brandy caught up in situations and both shows attempted to grow up and be dramatically different which didn't work at the end. []
  • There are two likely candidates for who would be pregnant. The first is Niecy, because throughout the entire episode she had mood swings, which is a sign of pregnancy. The second is Moesha, because she and Hakeem had something big to share with Mo's father. I guess we'll never know. Actually, there are 3 candidates. The third would be Alicia because throughout the episode she was eating nonstop. []
  • (June 2001): Talk about life imitating art. We may never know if Moesha was actually the one that was pregnant or not but Brandy is in fact with child. []
