in the 90s there were back to black dope black sitcoms, at least a few on every station and now there's literally none. I like a few like blackish if that even counts, but it's just nowhere near even the mid tier black family sitcoms like my wife and kids or one on one. jamie foxx most recent show with his daughter was absolute ass cheeks.

Because there used to be a lot of sitcoms in general, they were a thing. Now theres a handful total, maybe?

That's why I never bought that "black people never had representation" myth. The 90's was full of it. I felt very represented.

One on One when it started focusing on the daughter really sucked
The Parkers were alright Girlfriends was shit, never watched a single episode it felt like it wanted to be black sex in the city but it came off as pretty mean spirited towards men in general My wife and kids I think was good D.L. Hugeleys show was racist as fuck looking back on it now, especially against whites, asians and latin americans every single one on the show was some stereotype through I did find it surprising the led was a republican and the show was more conservative than other black sitcoms I watched Steve Harvey show was alright but kinda ruined itself when it became less about them being teachers and more about their will they won't they romance plots. The last one I watched was Tyler Perry's house of pain, I mean I tried to but every episode kept having these weird tone shifts between drama and comedy, got tiring trying to figure out is this leading to a punchline or leading to an argument? --- A worthless existence ...

It's the first time a Black person has ever been in a starring role that wasn't a comedy. It's the first time a woman has ever been in an action role. It's the first time... The studios don't want credit for continuing progress. They want credit for being the first. So every few decades or so, they reinvent the wheel and invalidate or omit anyone who came before them. ... Copied to Clipboard!

There were TONs of them from 80s to 00s and they were all hilarious. I've probably seen everything from The Jeffersons to Different Strokes to Family Matters to Cooper to Wayans to Jamie Foxx, shit all the way to The Parkers and even Girlfriends.
