One thing I dislike about The Parkers is that they dumbed down Kim’s character. She had sense on Moesha, but on The Parkers she was an airhead.
My favorite Kim was in Season 4. I love how she stood up to Moesha in the fourth season(especially when they had that fight about college/the future that one episode) and was confident in her ways and looks.
Preach
They were slowly but surely dumbing her down on moesha. They went all the way on the Parkers
I feel the same way. In the final season of the show, there was one episode where she was literally holding a book upside down and wondering why it was so hard to read. I saw this scene, and said, "Come on now!"
Yep but made Stevie character smart. 🙄
Mama killed him mama killled him 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Nikki: Sing mama's favorite song!!
Kim: Shake yo booty all nightttttrt

Lmao!! 😂😂😂 Stevie and T started jamming.
Nikki: ..."no,no , not that song. 😳"
I love that episode.
This show did Kim dirty. She barely had any decent storylines after the first season and lost brain cells every episode.
Which made no sense, especially when she was supposed to be in college 😅
@@maryperry6573 Her Mother should've been the goofy one to a degree.
@@Supremmothe way the school system is in real life it wouldn’t surprise me that the parent would be smarter then the kid
The show was supposed to be about a girl and her mom going to college together, and even tho they did go to college together, the show was more focused on Nikki and her obsession with the professor.
@@josephclegg3562 yeah, that’s right. They barely had any episodes which revolved around them being in college. They could have done more with that - like them having to work on a group assignment together, or cheating off each other for an assignment, etc.
Plus, they were both in community college for 5 years…?
Freestyle Unity had a bangers on the show!! They were originally a quartet then they became a trio
How hard, I'm gonna play you...🎶🎶...you don't even knoww 🎶🎶😙☺️
The Parkers theme song never gets old
It's crazy how even waaaay before her beefs with Steve and DL, The Parkers did much better in comparison to The Steve Harvey Show and The Hughleys.
And they both guest starred too. Now they can't stand each other 😅
My fav episode was when Kim and T sued each other in court and both showed up to court with fake injuries, a neck brace and crutches 😂
Facts.
YES!!!
They were also black women pursuing a higher education. Let’s not forget both Andell and Nicki were small business owners. Also, we had a black man on that show. Who was the professor. I feel that all the characters on that show showed Black people and a beautiful and positive light. it showed people that you could make mistakes and not come from the background and still make something of yourself no matter what your stage in life . Also Just because someone is animated and boisterous does not make them dumb smh
Just to add Kim may have not been a genius, but she got to pursue her dreams. She matured throughout the show. She was married and divorced, but learned about herself.
She tried dating and once those relationships didn’t work, she evolved.
She found her own set of friends and wasn’t following behind Moesha and or chasing after Hakim (RIP to the actor).
She was moving to New York to follow her career goals and was going to be independent again. She was in her own lane and very content.
@@indigoGoddess7she also went to Harvard with her boyfriend in the later seasons
The Parkers was and still is one of my comfort shows. Its one of those shows that the laugh reel never gets old. Also they were convincing mother and daughter the chemistry is crazy.
Andell was such a great character to bring in. She played off Nikki so well. The moment I knew she was the right fit was when she said “drop the chalupa” when Niki said she ran out of Spanish things to say 😂 When I tell you I was screaming for days after that! RIP to such a great talent.
I always wanted to know what happened with her and Bernie. Her and Bernie were a couple on Moesha, but when she went to the Parkers, she never mentioned him, and it was like he never existed.
@josephclegg3562 they broke up and Bernie married Wanda.
I love how Rodney Jerkins capitalized on the new sound shift of R&B in 1998/1999 and made those theme song bangers for The Parkers and Moesha(Season 4). The instrumental was poppin’, the flow was smooth and Kim’s vocals matched the fun of the lyrics. Those were the days of Black people making theme songs that you wish were an actual single on the billboard hot 100 charts. 😅
Totally agree👍
INDEED!!!
Agree completely
A lot of viewers including myself didn't want to see Nikki and Stanley get married.
Yea! He finally wanted her when he saw she was about to marry Johnnie.
@@paperorpaperI HATE “tropes” like that SOO MUCH!! It literally made no sense for them to end up getting married
@@paperorpaperAnd because no one else wanted him anymore smh
@@Kenny-bu4uv Yeeep! If Veronica came back he would jump on that real quick! lol
@@paperorpaper yup , but when I saw the last episode for the first time I knew they were gonna go there lol she should’ve continued to marry the man who loved her , FOR HER ! THE FIRST TIME !
Countess is comedian gold... The special touches and comedy she added to small things.... If u watch it she just knew how to make anything funny... She is so slept on and it's time she gets her flowers 💐💐💐... My husband who couldn't stand this show back in the day be sitting right next to me laughing when we watch it on Netflix... He even had to admit she is hilarious.. I hope she knows how much WE appreciate her ❤..... I'm still watching reruns and laughing..
another fire ass theme song 🔥🔥
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I still sing Freestyle Unity songs lmaoooo. I wish they would've released a CD after every season lol
THE SONGS WERE SO GOOD
The Parkers, The Hugley’s and For Your Love brought their own separate but distinct flavors. I watched all three of those shows for different reasons.
And I truly hope you do a video about Half&Half❤️
Stay tuned! 😉
Thank-you for this. I liked this show, but very much wish Ms. Parker didn't end up with Professor Ogelsvee. He was quite mean spirited to her and malicious... UNLESS it benefited him. Kims character was indeed dumbed in subsequent seasons.
I agree, she finally had a good man in her life that loved and cared for her. That never treated her less than because of her size (which Ms. Parker was and is a baddie).
It irritated me that as soon as dude came into her life Prof. Oglevee had an awakening during a therapy session that he loved her?! Chile…
It would have been awesome if Nicki dusted him. But this was the early 2000’s where full figured women were the butt of the joke.
🌟✨I agree completely! I thought Nikki deserved much better.✨🌟
She bullied him, grabbed, pushed and stalked in real life there would be legal actions spoke loud about black bossy women with little class
I remember that joke Kat Williams did about him
@@lindaleelaw5277it’s crazy how she’s made out to be the victim. the professor was actually open to being friends with her in the beginning, but she wanted to take it further and wouldn’t take ‘no’ for an answer. he wasn’t obligated to love her back. she also ruined his relationships with other potential partners.
I never took any of it seriously though. it was basically a cartoon. nicki & the professor were like the coyote & the roadrunner 😅
Thank you for this story. Can we please get stories on the following underrated 2000s sitcoms:
Eve
For Your Love
Half & Half
One On One
Everybody Hates Chris
Half and half was a gem 💎
Same @@Kisses2die4
@@Kisses2die4hated how there wasn’t a proper ending
I love for your love show omg yes !
Omg yessss plss
Lark Voorhies also appeared on the first two episodes of The Parkers during the first season of the show
I thought she'd continue to be recurring at least.
Kiss ass
And Lil Zane also appeared on two episodes of The Parkers It's a Spring Bling Thing and Don't Believe the Hype
Since you're on the late 2000s I was hoping if you could do one on one-on-one because the last episode of the series didn't make any sense
I agree
There’s so many last episodes I’ve apparently never seen 😹😹
Stay tuned! 😉
I always felt that her and the professor was mad weird 😂. She stalked,harassed and even lied about having his baby to marry him. Lmao she was wild. 😂😂😂
VERONICA WAS THAT ONE!
At first it wasn't a lie
I noticed that a trend in 1990s and 2000s shows was that it was considered funny when women and girls stalked and harassed the guys, like their actions weren't to be taken as seriously as a man's. I never found it funny even when I watched them in cartoons as a child. Watching it in the Parkers when I was in high school really annoyed me, especially since Nikki was supposed to be the voice of reason towards others. It made her look like a delusional hypocrite when she would give so much helpful, real world advice from time to time then chase after a man who wanted nothing to do with her and ruin his relationships.
The Scary Kim episode was awesome and Moesha said she looks just like Brandy in Cinderella.
Classic episode!!!
My favorite episode besides the Thanksgiving season 1 episode lol
The only thing I’d wish they changed about Kim was that she started in design or fashion school.
Absolutely love the Parker’s
The Parker’s is my favorite show
Nikki and Kim reminded us of our aunties and cousins. Full stop. The Hugleys and For Your Love were still popular in my home. But they were competing with My Wife and Kids and the Bernie Mac show.
I’m really glad that you delved into the promotion analysis, demographic stats and audience reaction of the show. Very informative and eye-opening because to be honest I never heard any “For Your Love” conversations in the 90s or early 00s. I knew of the show but never paid atttention to it. You’re right-The Parkers was more over the top then it’s originator(Moesha) and did sort of pick up where Wayans Brothers ended months prior. They really picked up on the fun antics in the third season and beyond. I think it worked well for UPN though. I think viewers relate more to Kim than Moesha Mitchell in a way.
Moesha was a brat. Kim was lovable, funny but producers wanted her character to be full retard
I think that Desiree Littlejohn was funny, but Yvette Wilson was funnier and much more suited as Nicki's sidekick. The looks she would give and her quick comebacks would crack me up.😂
I miss her.🕊
I love that the producer countered with “There are Black ppl who aren’t sophisticated”…even in these comments there is so much respectability politics. There are real Kim abd Nikki Parkers in world. Moesha was just as “boy crazy” it was just more palatable because of how she looks and the tone they took. Im so sick of Black ppl tryna limit characters to be this holier than thou,overly sophisticated,digestible to white ppl version of ourselves. Will always love this show.
I was confused. The man was talking about sophistication and the other shows not being African-American friendly, while mentioning The Parkers were liked amongst young audiences. African Americans didn't like the other show because it was too sophisticated, YOUNG African Americans (probably), didn't like the other shows because they wanted to watch a bunch of OTHER YOUNG African Americans in college!
I’m so sick of black people constantly promoting the worst of us
One of my FAVORITE shows of all time.
I love Ms. Parker soooo much ❤️
The body shaming comments were absolutely true because yrs later on “Celebrity fit” Countess stated that’s why she was going to get it done because of the jokes she went through
She wasn't small. She's actually much bigger in size than the white girl. So I don't even get the jokes.
Fun Fact: In my teen years, I participated in a coaching course led by Jenna Von Oy's (Stevie's) sister-in-law. She was nice, friendly and professional; it was a cool and beneficial experience. I still have my certificate over a decade later : )
I have been watching the Parkers all weekend
Andell had the best smile
Love "The Parkers. Such a wonderful and talented cast. Rest in Peace Yvette Williams, such a beautiful smile and good heart. Thank you.
I feel like this show was successful because of Moesha. People already liked Kim. Great content as usual. Patiently waiting on Waiting to Exhale and Set it off😁
kim basically got kelly bundy'ed. like kelly and buddy lembeck, as the series went on, the dumber they got.
Kelly was normal in the 1st season. More season lter, she became the dumb blonde
I see you watched Charles In Charge too. 😄
I always wondered how actors felt when their characters were made fun of for their real-life attributes.
13:47 Monique was gorgeous back then! It can't be denied.
Great story on The Parkers
Monique aint lost a lawsuit yet,thats all ima say!
The Parkers deserve all of their money Friends and the Big bang theory cast got paid 1 million
The Parkers is a classic at that. Mo’Nique and Countess Vaughn was doing it a darn thing on the show. I wish they would see the re-runs. Mari Marrow was one fine woman on the show.
Netflix! They used to be on daily motion and youtube but ooooof course as soon as they went to the streaming platform, the episodes were pulled from all other platforms.
It did come on Netflix and that’s all I know.
Speaking of The Wayans Bros, The Hughleys and For Your Love I hope you do stories on those shows
Stay tuned! 😉
Unlike Moesha, which ended on a cliffhanger, The Parkers did give us an ending, but l don't think it was a good one. Even tho, Nikki finally got her man, l still think that wasn't a proper ending. The Parkers should have gotten at least another season or two. We should have gotten a chance to see how life was for Nikki and Stanley after they got married.
More suggestions. Do The Nanny, the Parent ‘Hood, the Wayans Bros., and Married With Children. Ohh and Dance 360 and Blossom.
Countess Vaughn wasn’t even big though 🙄
Can you do videos on The Game and One On One!!!
LOVE the Game,have all the seasons on dvd. Good show.
So I re watched the Parker’s when it hit Netflix, I watched it back in the day but I didn’t realize how hilarious the Parker’s was. It was funnier than moesha (my opinion)
I agree with you, yes I hated they did that to her character. Why does every show have to have a dumb person in it. SMH!!!!
Raise your hand if you haven’t been sued by Mo’nique 🤷🏾♂️🤣
"SHUT YO TRAP ASH MAN" 😭😭
Also didn’t like how they had Nikki chasing after professor ogalvee. (Did I spell that right) 🤣🤣
The mack is like woo season 5:Andell:Nikki Parker must go……Operator:did you call before?…..Andell (deep voice):no I haven’t called before….smh….lol…..that scene was hilarious….RIP Yvette Wilson……
Love watching this on Pluto in the ams now. Moms didn't have cable back in the day, so we got to watch this on Fox instead of UPN. Love these vids you do. Would you be willing to do one on Family Matters? Love the show, but it was odd how Judy just went back upstairs and was never mentioned again?
Don't just stroll by.
Please say Hey!
Blessings to everyone

wasn’t a huge fan of the show but i always waited until the theme song ended before turning because it was poppin 😅
Tek: “..and you did film the video on their premises..”
Kim: “We didn’t film it on their premises,we filmed it right here”.. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was OBSESSED with this show as a kid! Every single day I’d curl up with a snack & watch the reruns. Still adore it till this day ❤
LOVE the Parkers,watched it back in the day. NOW,have the complete series on dvd,bought it from amazon. Good job on this video,keep'em coming.
Do one about Martin!
She already did
1:32 I miss the parkers.
1:56 nice 💯🙂 show.
Nice video please do one on the parent hood , sister sister , smart guy , the Cosby show , the wayans bros and Webster
I love this channel and these content videos about our favorite shows plus I love the little memes in between lol I can tell there’s a beautiful black woman with taste and personality running this page keep going! 🎉
agree
Nikki, Stevie and Andell were my favorite characters in the show. I'm glad Kyra Pratt guest starred.
Great video, use to be one of my favorite shows in my college days. Very funny and I used to have a crush on Kim.
FREESTYLE UNITY ALBUM STILL NEEDS TO DROP!
I always remember watching the Parkers laughing but always wondering why Kim was......slow
Thank you for this
"Hey professor olgabeeee"😮😮😮😮😮😮😂😂😂
This was a great video. Thank you Juicy Pop 😊
The only thing I’d wish they changed about Kim was that she started her fashion.
As a kid I loved the Parkers so much but as an adult, I can only stomach the 1st 2 seasons because of the level of cringe I get with the way they made Monique’s character so obsessed with the professor!! They took the obsession way too far IMO, they could’ve kept it harmless like they did season 1 but they started centering entire episodes around it & had her looking desperate asf
Do in the house
Um. What happened to Black sitcoms. Compare 1990-2000 to now. 😐
Hit the like button if you never watched For Your Love.
Let alone heard of it
I haven't either. That was during my teenage years and don't remember even a promo.
@@cadillacdeville5828 facts. I don't remember no promo
I love The Parkers, but I always said they did Kim dirty on there and Moesha. IDC what anyone says. Countess was so pretty. They reduced her to the big girl who is desperate for a man. I liked her character way more than Moesha's. Yes, I liked Moe's intelligence, but she was so bougie, entitled, a brat, know-it-all, self-righteous and not as innocent as she pretended to be. I hated too how Mo'Nique was the stereotypical big girl who chased a man that didn't want her. Kim didn't deserve for Hakeem to treat her like that. Then they did the same with Nikki and Stanley. They both deserved someone who genuinely liked them for who they were. I never understood why Stanley suddenly wanted her on the last episode. She should've stayed with Kenny for a while and then actually married Johnny. Smh
Thank you!!
Loved the show so much talented
i love me some "Parkers"
to this day❤
I'm about tew watch now till i fall asleep 🍧
R.i.p Tew Aunt Dell🙏🏽🥀
I loved the Parkers definitely one of my favorites
I ❤️ The Parkers!
I love the chemistry between the cast. Monique wasn’t difficult then 😏😎
My oldest sister played Veronica 😂
Yesssssssssss lets goooooooooooooooooo
I loved this show nd was
Proud too see these two bbws get there shine!
My Fav 💯💯💯
They still play there episodes on a channel called Dabl and every single day currently.
Can you pls do Half & Half
This was my show growing up was definitely funny as hell! Kim character was OD annoying cause why did they have her acting slow every season?
And Nikki desperate for a man, who avoided her
@@pa.encema2821 man being annoying as hell!
Can you do one for the Game as well as the spin off game as well
I was still watching
Countess was totally overshadowed by Monique. I wondered about that. Countess was adorable.
I disagree. She was actually the star of the show. Without Countess this show goes nowhere. You could take any other character out of the show but without her it would not have been a success.
I watched the whole series of The Parkers back in February 2022. I think once was enough for me
I think the writers did a horrible injustice to the character of Nikki. They had her chasing the professor even though he said repeatedly that he was not interested. Did they think so little of the character that she would even want someone who said no thanks to her. I didn't watch The Parkers because I didn't want to see a woman who was so pathetic.
💀💀💀💀
Talk that ish , Butch 💯
never seen one episode just here for the Tea :P
It's a good show... ❤
This was my show growing up Nikki always has a crush on Stanley lol
I liked the show. But that Nikki and Professor thing was weird
I grew up on this show. Of course now looking back a few of the punch lines and some of the things they did I look at as corny but overall this is one of my comfort shows. I would also like to say that Tichina Arnold mentioned one time on the breakfast club… (because one of the hosts had said something like “y’all must be getting a lot of money, those networks play Martin and EHC all the time) how the more the network plays the series the less they get paid. So while it’s a blessing to be recognized on your old projects they’re not making the money that we think they are. But by all means they need to pay these women if they owe. Monique said they were bringing in millions but only receiving thousands. If they can prove it and provide contracts I think they have a case.
Second worst main ship ever. Family Matters is first. A&N's friendship was retconned in later seasons. They turned a CC to a 4 year college. 😂 Still a classic.
