Charles S Dutton said the show was canceled was the network wanted it to be more comedy and less serious like the wayans or Martin he told them no so the show was blackballed
Sure, because reboots are always so well done? This show was amazing and doesn’t need it’s reputation tarnished with a terrible modern version. It would be nice to have clean, remastered versions available to view and purchase.
Well it's because of people like you not tuning in at the time. Low ratings. Now y'all are talking about how deeply underrated it was. Classic case of not knowing what you got until it's gone.
Charles S. Dutton is a real LIFE actor. He took his frustration with life situations and applied it to his acting skills. This dude put fear in his lines and emotion in his voice to deliver an incredible performance. Roc was top tier even though i was two years old when it was cancelled.
I live in St Louis, and it’s so bad over here… it breaks my heart. I help mentor teens at my boxing gym, and teach them to fight and stay away from drugs and gang life. I went from being a heroin junkie to turning my life around and helping these kids, buying them equipment, giving rides to the gym and home, feeding them, giving them anything I can. I truly love them all. If you have been involved in gangs or with drugs, you owe it to your community and to yourself to help others. God bless all of us.
@@coachbigheadMerlin didn’t want to talk to a young girl and she lied and said he raped her. So, as they were leaving, some guys shot at the car and a bullet went through the trunk and hit Merlin in the head.
@@862leonexactly. He was a good kid who tried to protect himself. He made a bad decision that cost him his life. The murderer had no dad, never heard that one before.
We need Charles S. Dutton on the Breakfast Club. I still want to know how a show of this magnitude only lasted 3 seasons, but I can probably guess. The message was way too powerful for the powers that be. This show as well South Central were just as good as The Fresh Prince.
10:58 Roc tells him that if the bully wants his jacket, he needs to give it up. Other family shows would say he should stand up for himself or tell a teacher or a cop, but Roc is being realistic. The bully might literally murder him and the jacket isn't worth his life. It's some brutal honesty.
Especially in those days. Now kids in Baltimore are happy to wear clothing from Under Armour or even Shein. In the nineties the poverty in Baltimore was so bad in so many households. Kids really were killing each other over jackets and shoes.
The boy with the gun plays in people under the strairs n fresh prince too n other stuffn also he play in michael jackson's moonwalker n play michael jackson in the kid version of bad lol 🙏😎❤️❤️❤️❤️😂😂😂😂
. &&&&& The fact the boy didn't even attend the same school as Terrance is CRAZZYYY ... THAT BOY HAD NO BUSINESS IN THAT SCHOOL ANYWAY . . . WHERE WAS SECURITY . .... this episode speaks so many volumes on what's going on today . . 😢😢😢😢😢😢
I know they said you dont need a gun but I noticed when he give up the gun he got shot but I say this i think you need a gun when u need it not for stupid stuff because police n gangs have guns but nobody say nothing about that but when a civilian or helpless person have a gun they made it like it ain't right but your have the right to protection regardless who r🙏😎❤️❤️❤️❤️
Roc was right he should have just given the bully his jacket and told his parents or the principal. Once you pull out a weapon on someone they won't forget that and they will come back to harm you when you least expect it. Roc acted like a father figure to the young guy and Sheila in the episode. It's sad the boy got killed.💔💔💔
This is why every school making people wear uniforms 👕 even that didn’t work this girl I used to go to school with stole book bag 🤦🏾♀️ she kept eyeing my book bag for 1 week straight Damn thief !
This show was cancelled because the message is to powerful and will wake up the masses😮💨💯
&&&&& this show was way ahead of its time .... ❤❤❤❤
@@MaryjaneLove WAAAAAY ahead of its time.
More like not enough people supported the show. If there was more support, even if FOX took it off, it would have resurfaced somewhere else.
They stopped this kinda shit on TV period

In 2023, you'll never see a show like this.
Facts 😔🤷🏿♀️ God I miss the old days
BUT WE SEEN THE WIRE FIFTEEN SIXTEEN YEARS LATER GET THE FUQQ OUTTA HERE not you just in general
I Don’t Want That In The Future About Guns 9:20 18:17
Yes you will. On youtube.
Times change neither would you have in the 1950s
They need to reboot this too many kids are dying everyday from gun violence
They stopped stuff like this and I don’t even know why these shows taught us life lessons
That's why they took the show off....
They want kids in prisons why do you think they push gangsta rap
Sure, because reboots are always so well done? This show was amazing and doesn’t need it’s reputation tarnished with a terrible modern version. It would be nice to have clean, remastered versions available to view and purchase.
@PhoenixRising82672 Tired of hearing this excuse. Violence in the community has been going on before Gangsta Rap even existed.
It’s crazy how this episode still relates to today’s issues in society. This show was highly underrated

Real
It's sad that over 30 yrs and we STILL haven't learned how to y treat each other with love and respect!!!
Apparently, we can thank government and lack of fathers for this.
I miss the 90s
Liiiive your life today😂😂
Same here
I remember when this first aired. Time flies.

Way to go!
Thats wassup I'm proud of you cuz
We appreciate you brothra
Shout-out to En Vogue for doing the theme song.
Yep they had appearances on the show too
I really wish we had shows like this these days. We have literally gone backwards!
The gems in this show is the reason shows like this doesn’t exist today,the message is to powerful
This episode affected me so much, as a kid. The whole bullying aspect was so relatable.
Even though this was in the 90s, it makes me happy to see Alexis Fields follow her sister's and mom's footsteps in the business industry.
Ironically Brandon Adams who played Terrence was with Merlin Santana when he was murdered. Brandon was shot too but he survived.
I can't believe I'm just seeing this episode.
How they were set up
@@coachbigheadMerlin didn’t want to talk to a young girl and she lied and said he raped her. So, as they were leaving, some guys shot at the car and a bullet went through the trunk and hit Merlin in the head.
@@coachbigheadYou ever heard of Google?
@@TF-gf3fsyou ever heard of don't be a dxckhead, tough guy?
“Not if you get 1 scoop & you bring your own cone” 😂😂😂😂
This was the saddest deepest episode 😢
The need show this today it so real !!!
I see why Roc Emerson had gotten a young son; he would have made a good father if they would've had a fourth season in 1995.
Watched this show all the time as a kid, but the drive-by at the end is the only thing from any episode i remember
2024 and my people still haven't changed. Same bs different year.
Straight facts! They've changed for the worse if any change!!
Boy should have went in and studied
Wrong, they changed too this, wasn't like this before
@@daniellej7914shut up.
There will never be a show like this one.
Love this show it's a message in every episode miss these 90's sitcoms
This show was great and the message was always on point! 2024 here
Watching in 2024 thinking.... shh only got worse!!!
Man I miss this show.
Bring back Roc ❤
Let’s end the violence in our community and among our youth 🥲
To Be Continued 22:07
This episode is the one that I always remembered.
The good ole days.
Most memorable roc episode from when i was a lil kid hit me deep even tho i was only 6 or 7 yrs old
Alexis looks just like Blu Ivy
Throwback. I love it. Roc with the kick .😂 Its always something with Joey.😂 Funny show.
Now Roc knows he should have gave him more than 2 dollars since he had just taken money out his brother 's wallet
I loved this show it was base on family
Damn I never realized how real this show is
Damn this show was so good. The messaging was so rich!
The Roc is good in this show and Menace 2 Society.....
I had to remember he played Shareif's pops in Menace II Society.
They Need to Reboot This Show ✊📣💯🎬
It reflects on Real Issues 💯
one of the best shows ever! I still remember this show and the content and acting was amazing. Thanks for the upload.
I miss shows like this
Crazy that stuff happens in real life.in still goes on to this day .those days ain't went no where
17:41… “Here’s a dOllar… BRING back ma chAnge.”
i see how the father is gone in real life
The father is present in the story
@@862leonexactly. He was a good kid who tried to protect himself. He made a bad decision that cost him his life.
The murderer had no dad, never heard that one before.
As a guy from Milwaukee Wisconsin this type of stuff happens almost every day with people getting shot and killed it's so sad.
Yep I’m from Chicago I know exactly what u mean
Do you know cheese head
@@Ericlawless380you eat corn the long way. Peon.
what a small world roc knows Terrence grandmother who has the same name
They erase all that matters. Remeber that!!!!
Damon spoke like a gay dude who's trying to be tough
😂😂
He sounds soft as hell 😂
That haircut to
@@dionruffin3996Never seen a slicked back fade in my life.
Classic
Anyone notice how the old man shield the baby with his body
Yeah? That's what any normal loving parent or grandparent would do.
Its amazing how though its been over 30 years but the same shit continues today!!
We Need More Video Uploaded Season And Episode Of Roc.
We need shows like this
Damon sound like he should be Zamon
We need Charles S. Dutton on the Breakfast Club. I still want to know how a show of this magnitude only lasted 3 seasons, but I can probably guess. The message was way too powerful for the powers that be. This show as well South Central were just as good as The Fresh Prince.
Dang that's the girl from Moesha's college years. Dang black actors/actresses been working for decades
The boy was on moesha too and sandlot he was actually best friends with Ohaji from Moesa who real name is Merlin Santana
Sheila looks like Blue Ivy Carter in this episode
Is this a compliment
Just like her
If this ain't the same set as "Amen or All in the family" I love how they did this back in the day. The same studio sets, slightly altered 😂
One of my favorite shows ❤
Brandon was my homie bak in the day..NiP too.RIP NIP
WATCHING FROM CAMDEN NJ 🌁 ALL LOVE ❤️
Nothing has changed since this incident
Love this show
Me Too
Brandon Adams was in the car when Merlin Santana (Romeo from The Steve Harvey Show) was killed. This episode relates to the world now.
10:58 Roc tells him that if the bully wants his jacket, he needs to give it up. Other family shows would say he should stand up for himself or tell a teacher or a cop, but Roc is being realistic. The bully might literally murder him and the jacket isn't worth his life. It's some brutal honesty.
Especially in those days. Now kids in Baltimore are happy to wear clothing from Under Armour or even Shein. In the nineties the poverty in Baltimore was so bad in so many households. Kids really were killing each other over jackets and shoes.
And the exact reason why I felt that Roc got Terrance killed.
@@saj8Roc should have called the cops and reported the bully
Y'all look stupid in these comments. (Not you Tamara)
And that's the reason why I keep my wallet on me
Great ep.
One of my fave eps
I want a family like this.
Amazing series Roc 2023
Loved this show
I remember watching this episode back in the day
The boy with the gun plays in people under the strairs n fresh prince too n other stuffn also he play in michael jackson's moonwalker n play michael jackson in the kid version of bad lol 🙏😎❤️❤️❤️❤️😂😂😂😂
Yeah an Sandlot an mighty ducks 1 an 2 🤣
Brandon Adams was so cute. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
He still cute
This was a Great Show
. &&&&& The fact the boy didn't even attend the same school as Terrance is CRAZZYYY ... THAT BOY HAD NO BUSINESS IN THAT SCHOOL ANYWAY . . . WHERE WAS SECURITY . .... this episode speaks so many volumes on what's going on today . . 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Great show
I wonder if Roc asked for his $2 back at the hospital.
Look at little Diavian aka Alexis from Sister Sister, I never knew she was acting from she was a child.
Least we can't say Roc tried to tell Terrence about having a gun.
I know they said you dont need a gun but I noticed when he give up the gun he got shot but I say this i think you need a gun when u need it not for stupid stuff because police n gangs have guns but nobody say nothing about that but when a civilian or helpless person have a gun they made it like it ain't right but your have the right to protection regardless who r🙏😎❤️❤️❤️❤️
Good television
It's probably a year since I first discovered this show .. I love it ... I don't think many ppl know about it
Yes It Make Me Want To Cry
Roc was right he should have just given the bully his jacket and told his parents or the principal. Once you pull out a weapon on someone they won't forget that and they will come back to harm you when you least expect it. Roc acted like a father figure to the young guy and Sheila in the episode. It's sad the boy got killed.💔💔💔
HOW THE BLEEP DID I NOT KNOW BRANDON ADAMS WAS ON ROC???
If he kept that gun he would be alive. 😂
Ending is powerful made me think of 2Pac Changes
18:17
Terence Died By Gun Shots 18:17
Why the fuck didn't Terrence just ditch the gun in a garbage can somewhere before going over to the house.
No i feel like he should have kept the gun for his safety or file a police report.
This show was too real for tv that's why it was canceled anything positive that uplifts the black community most likely don't last long
7:53
This is why every school making people wear uniforms 👕 even that didn’t work this girl I used to go to school with stole book bag 🤦🏾♀️ she kept eyeing my book bag for 1 week straight Damn thief !
Ja morant needs to watch this
South Central should've been longer
😢😢 it’s gotten worse lord help us
