Show Summary

Half & Half stars Essence Atkins and Rachel True as half-sisters Mona and Dee Dee who have only one thing in common: their father. Growing up separately, these two virtual strangers suddenly become neighbors in the same San Francisco apartment building and experience the challenges of sisterhoodMore for the first time. Mona, a budding music executive, was raised by her single mother, Phyllis, to be an independent woman who does things in her own free-spirited and sometimes sardonic By contrast, younger sister Dee Dee is a privileged honor-roll college student who grew up in a two-parent home, but searches for her own identity out of the shadow of her overbearing mother, Big Dee Dee. Now in their twenties, these two vastly contrasting women are discovering the advantages and joys that the special bond of sisterhood offers. But their relationship is not without its problems, as they often clash on everything from morals to money to men. Meanwhile, Spencer, Mona's best friend, becomes the conscience of the group and helps build a bridge between the women.

    Talented group of comedic actors! hide show

    I just discovered this show a year after it stopped airing. I didn't have UPN, so I never even knew about it. I now watch it on a local FOX station, and I absolutely love it! I love all of the characters, especially Mona, Adam, and Big Dee Dee. Spencer is so cute and funny! I can't believe I missed out on such a great show for almost four years! If there are episodes available on DVD to purchase I would love to buy a box set containing each and every episode, because I haven't had the pleasure to see them all! I wish Rachel True was staring on a new show. She is such a talented comedic actress.

    A great family comedy. hide show

    I love this show.Everyone in it are fab.I find it really funny and a lot of the scenes could be happening in real life.I wish it was on a little later in the day however.I watch it at 6:00A.M.It's a great way to start the day though.I really get a great hoot out of Phyllis and big Dee Dee, they do a great job with the barbs they keep giving each other.Mona gets herself into so much trouble and it's always funny.Dee Dee is funny when she gets on Mona's back about her clothes and hair.It's a great show and I look forward to seeing more of it in the future.

    Two half sisters experience the beauty of sisterhood and friendship after growing up apart in separate households. As Mona and Dee Dee evolve, they both heal old family wounds by building new bridges and discovering new revelations through each other. hide show

    Fresh, smart, relatable and naturally funny. It's amazing how sitcoms like this disappear. In every city there's a Mona and a Dee Dee, in every country there's an Adam or a Spencer. Half and Half has all the qualities of a classic long running sitcom and it was becoming a huge platform in the community. And since it's stopped airing urban comedy hasn't been the same. People are still waiting to know what's up next for these characters and with enough prayer and petitioning, maybe CW can right the wrong and return Half and Half to prominence better than ever. Bring it back, before it's too late!

    This was a great show, funny and something I could look forward to on Monday nights. Bring it back!!!!!!!!! hide show

    I just loved this show. How can they take it off the air just like that especially after a great cliffhanger??? I guess we'll never know who she picked...Lorenzo or Chase. Personally, I would have picked Chase without a doubt...he was very down to earth, not to mention HOT. So, what was the reason for taking the show off the air...not too many people watching, not enough ratings? If enough of us vote to bring it back, will they? Even if it's just to find out who she picked. So have I reached 100 words yet? Now I did !!!
