  • American television sitcom The Hughleys aired on ABC from September 22, 1998 to April 28, 2000 and then on the now defunct UPN from September 11, 2000 to May 20, 2002. It starred comedian D.L. Hughley as main character Darryl Hughley, a 35-year-old vending machine salesman, his wife Yvonne, played by Elise Neal and their two children: 12-year-old Sydney played by Ashley Monique Clark and 10-year-old Michael, played by Dee Jay Daniels. The plot centres on Darryl moving his family from his predominately black South Los Angeles neighbourhood to West Hills, a wealthy, predominantly white neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley. As he and his family adjust to living there, they also battle with trying not to forget who they are and where they came from.

    While I applaud D.L. for being a black man with his own show, The Hugleys just wasn’t the same caliber of the elite 90s-early 2000s black shows like “Martin”, “Living Single”, “Moesha”, “The Parkers”, “Girlfriends”, “Half and Half” or even “My Wife & kids”. I often forget The Hughleys even existed!

      I actually liked The Hughleys far more than My Wife & Kids... Moesha changed once Ray J was added it became wack as they portrayed the dad as a cheater. Roc is a show that doesn't get its flowers. One of the best casts and storylines of any 1990s AA TV show. Hangin' With Mr Cooper is another one as well. Where I Live should have gotten more support too.

    Let's be honest. My Wife and Kids was way better than the hughleys. ABC saw more potential in Damon's show and the hughleys weren't getting as much viewers as ABC expected. UPN was the network where black sitcoms thrived in the 2000s and they basically built their network on the backs of those shows which was why they were so willing to pick up the hughleys.

    Well, this show sucked. It was boring. I think DL is non-funny so not surprised his show was also esp if he was writing on it. How is he a King of Comedy???🤔🤷‍♀️

    "The Neighborhood" with Cedric The Entertainer is the exact same show as "The Hugheleys" -boring & not funny.

    Sorry Mr. Hughley, your show just wasn’t good. My wife & kids was so much funnier. I rarely hear anyone actually say they enjoyed the hughleys. DL is corny.
