Show Summary

  • Ended
Barbershop, based on the successful MGM feature films, was adapted for television by writer/director John Ridley ("Three Kings," "Platinum," "Undercover Brother"), who is very active in television and films, in addition to being a prolific novelist. Robert Teitel and George Tillman, Jr., who also produced both the "Soul Food" movie and the Showtime television series of the same name, are series executive producers along with Ice Cube with whom they produce the "Barbershop" films. Most of the characters from the popular "Barbershop" movies have been retained, headed by Calvin, the reluctant hero and neighborhood confessor who runs the barbershop he inherited from his father. A few new memorable characters have also been added to the world. The continuing comical exploits of these people will be explored along with contemporary issues facing them, set against the slowly gentrifying backdrop of this fictional Chicago neighborhood.moreless

    They need to bring this series back on television. It was hilarious, fun and cool to watch on television when it was airing. I use to watch it every week when it came on. It was a great series with a wonderful cast and crew who made me laugh a lot of times. I also loved the story lines of each episodes. For anyone who love both the movies, which this series is based on, then you will want to watch this series. So go and find the series and watch it because even though it have its flaws, it is really funny and good to watch.moreless

    He is in prison for breaking the AVO and that just by trying to call her. She is upset about it and want to help him. It is just so unfair on him all this and he asks her if they can use her money shes going to spend on buying Alexes part of the gym to buy him out. He tells her that she will get her money back because he knows Kane is going to win the court case and it is important to him that his friends have trust in him. She is not sure if getting him out of prison is the right thing, but she agree with him and gives him the money to get him home.

    I absolutely looove this show and just wish they would bring

    it back. It was a good syndication and is very good. Ice

    Cube did a good job producing this show. This is a very good

    spin-off from the movie. The actors were very good at

    picking up where the actors in the movie left off. They

    really imitated the actors in the movie greatly.

    You could tell right from the start that tonight's episode was going to be a good one. In the previous cliff-hanger we were left with a fatal car crash, not knowing anything else about the accident besides the fact that it happened. Tonight's story opens with Alf in a dark hospital waiting room. In the background two nurses are talking. One says "he hasn't said a word since he found out". The other replies: "Some people need time... she's only been dead for 2 hours".
