Show Summary

  • Ended
Mo'Nique and Countess Vaugh star as the mother-daughter family of Nikki and Kim Parker, in this spin-off of the hit UPN sitcom, Moesha.''''This time around, Kim and Nikki enroll into Santa Monica Junior College in Santa Monica, California. While Kim was initially bothered by the thought of her mother attending college with her, she eventually came to accept it, and they both grew closer because of the experience. Then, there was Nikki; she got pregnant with Kim in high school, which forced her to dropout during her senior year to raise her daughter (she went back to receive her high school diploma, as seen in an episode of Moesha), and eventually never went to college---until now. Nikki is known most-notably for her never-ending pursuits after SMC professor, Stanley Oglevee (Dorien Wilson). Throughout the entire series, Professor Oglevee denied Nikki's request for love; but as we know, that never stopped Nikki.''''The show became a huge hit with UPN's viewers, as did its predecessor. In 2004, after five years and 110 episodes, The Parkers ended its series run. Throughout its five seasons, the series, along with its cast members, have been nominated for 11 NAACP Image Awards; it has won five, with Mo'Nique winning four as Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series in 2001, 2002, 2004, and 2005 for her role as Nikki Parker. Dorien Wilson won an Image award in 2004 as Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. In 2002, Yvette Wilson was nominated as Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.moreless

    I am a avid fan of the Funnist show that I have ever seen on TV. The writers have really did their Homework on being funny! The Cast , with Monique/ Nikki, Countess Vaughn/Kim, Dorien Wilson/ Professor Ogelvee, Jenna Von Oy/ Stevie, Yevette Wilson/ Andell, & Ken Lawson/tyrell.
    This chemistry comes through on the screen as if they enjoy what there doing! The Producers of the show, should continue doing this! It is a SMASH We Love It! Sincerely David Mooremoreless

    "Abysmal"
    Throughout the history of TV Sitcoms led by black characters, some were memorable (Julia, Sanford And Son, The Jeffersons, The Cosby Show) while others are best forgotten (Homeboys In Outer Space, etc..). This show qualifies in the latter category.

    This is a very unfunny Sitcom about 2 man-hungry zaftig black women who are TRYING to get a college education, but apparently they're too busy getting themselves into what maybe best described as an estrogen-soaked revival of Amos N' Andy.

    There is absolutely nothing that is remotely funny in the entire run of this joke of a Sitcom & if anyone asks why no one took UPN (now MyNetwork TV) seriously as a TV network, Look no further than The Parkers.moreless

    this show is good but i think kim needs to hav her own show because countess is a very good actor she has a great role ahead of her , my other character i find great is andell she is so good with her part, i laugh at her all the time on the show so she is good like kim also, i dont like how nikki chases after the proffesor becuase its jus pathetic because he doesnt even want her so they should have changed the script alittle bit though but other than that its really a great show that i would like to own on dvd!moreless

  • This show was not as great as some say it is.

    I will be honest. I did get a lot of laughs, as I am sure did other poeple who watched the show and praise it. But I think that\'s just the problem. The creators of the show, especially the writers, just wanted to make people laugh. But for me, I like intelligent comedy, and a lot of the time, this show did not have that, and therefore ceased to be funny, leaving me rather annoyed than amused. There was obviously no thought put into the writing. Here are some examples;

    There were the episodes where Miss Parker was as fast as flash, and could hear a conversation from another room.

    There was one where she was hallucinating, seeing the professor kissing T\'s mother(played by Sommore) and was saying derogatory things about her(apparently for no reason) in the boy\'s presence.

    She always felt like she was the only woman the professor should talk to.

    The final episode. After everything that has happened, the professor suddenly finds himself \'in love\' with her. YEAH, RIGHT!

    My brother, who writes comments for shows like I do, on another site, has other examples...as soon as I introduce him to this site.

    Overall, the show was not that great.moreless
