Steffonya Raines I liked them too. It was when he was actually working a legit gig ya know. But then he screwed up and quit bc Terri and them was trippin about the profits he was making with the store. He should have stayed until he had another job. But nevertheless he still looked good/comfortable working at the store though.
Love the scene when Teri flips out! ...so life is; we don't always receive what we work hard for...yet there is still a lesson to be learned that I'm STILL trying to decipher...
Boris Kodjoe in his younger days even now.... oh my dayz.. him in the scene with a black top & black leather jacket.. can't cope.. such a beautiful black man 🖤🤎
thanks SO MUCH for posting. its so nice to revisit the lives of the Joseph sisters and found memories again. its especially 'delicious' to watch a chunk of episodes at a time.
I just loved this show ! I WATCHED IT ALL THE TIME. ALSO THERE ISN'T many shows like this one and also so real and family time and everthi g that goes with it. family especially with sister which. mean ever body that's have more sister in
It IS on TV on Magic Johnson's network ARISE TV. There are 2 episodes coming on tonight and I am recording every one. Better get DirecTV my friend. This is the best show on TV. I saw this episode last night, rather I recorded it months ago and just got around to viewing it.
I definitely wouldn't buy those cookies after that guy just rubbed his bare ass on the store window. Just nasty. And disrespectful. Ppl are out shopping with their kids, for crying out loud!!!😡😡😡
@@kimson305no he’s a viewer with an opinion. The fuck is with you mfs and that word now a days, don’t even know what hating is atp y’all just throw it around
With all due respect, I don't really agree with that. They met up in the same place in Fresh Prince only during specific season(s) and that was because Fresh Prince and Carlton worked in the place and it is similar to Andele's. Andele worked and owned the place so they went there. The only time I remember shows where they hung out at the same spot, they were typically teenagers and it was older shows where they went to the malt shop not so much adults. There are some shows where hanging out in one place was the theme like maybe Love Jones and Martin (Nipsey's: even they still didn't go to Nipseys all the time) but it was not the case in shows that were made in the 2000s.
My heart hurts for Teri on so many levels. I have been punished for being tough and making GMs and district managers in my past. Been a team player and woke up one day
I could relate to this episode of soulfood there have been many instances in my life were I felt that should gottin but didn't for what ever reason, but when I look back at the situation I'm glad that it didn't work in my favor i relize that I didn't need the extra stress any way.
Teri is a prime example of what happen's when you try to work for the white man she should've started her own practice from the jump and wouldn't have to worry about making partner.
we've been conditioned to think that we have to get to the top....always underneath the white man....glad more of our people are waking up now though....still a long wayyyyyyyy to go though, lol :)
@@yendaaaa we are in a cold war cold segregation whether it is defacto or dejure. No matter how hard you try, someone will always try to block your success if you're a minority.
Starting your own practice is harder than it looks. This is especially true for people straight out of law school. Most make more working at firms anyway, but I see what you're saying. And I do hope that I one day have the means to do law on my own.
I don’t easily agree with Maxine, but I rarely ever agree with Kenny. She nailed it right on the head. “You know what? It’s really amazing how much Ahmad being around someone who is gay upsets you but when he was carrying condoms in his pocket? That shit was cute.” Whew!!!!!!!!!
Steve to Kenny: is there a problem? Kenny to Steve: No there’s no problem (knowing damn well he has a problem) everybody always grown or as they like to holler “TOO GROWN” until it’s time to stand up and say what they’ll say behind your back to your face talk that shit that you said to Maxine to that man’s face that’s a coward ass move Kenny
Terri brings in multimillionaire clients, turns around and wins every case, and yet she still can't win partner? That's ridiculous the world we live in, yes this is a show, but they make these shows based off of reality, so ridiculous, she is so smart
Hunni, yes! He was more of a man than Damon could’ve ever been. He taught Teri how to exemplify humility and to always have a backup plan. He was highly educated and well-spoken, and he didn’t tolerate excuses. I would’ve dropped Damon quicker than a horse panty to get with Mr. Grant. 😊
But she has a nasty attitude towards her co workers and she’s not a team player I would vote for someone who comes in does their job treats the janitor with the same respect as they would the CEO listens to gain understanding than to just respond back and only brought in a couple Thousands of dollars to the firm over the one who would fire a secretary because she couldn’t work late due to her having a daughter get somebody fired because they simply asked if they could have lunch and pick her brain and have someone removed from bringing in the packages because they declined to wear some cologne she bought them so she could pick an argument and use that just to divert from the fact that the delivery guy favored Damon she is a piece of work she’s that co-worker who everybody stays the hell away from if anyone has ever seen “ The Haves and the Have nots” how the Harringtons and the Cryers use their power to ruin other peoples lives that’s what Terri does and I can’t feel sorry for NOBODY like that you reap what you sow
Terri should have known something was wrong when she went to her bf, Damien, house and saw another woman (his ex-girlfriend that he cheated on with Teri and then later cheated on Teri with) there. I would flip the F off
Amber Sheffield I don't believe that Kenny is homophobic I don't believe he will reject a gay friend however when it comes down to his son who is a direct adolescent he has every right to Shield him from that lifestyle Lem made that clear for himself in the grocery store
Idk why Terri never thought to open her own practice. Working for the white man never gets you no where. Black ownership is everything. Loved seeing lem in his element.
Cause anyone who understands the field of law, understands that you can’t start a corporate law firm straight out of law school. Most corporate law firms are established. A lot of corporate behemoths aren’t going to trust a rookie attorney to handle their legal needs and they have no experience. So, you either have to work your way to managing and/or equity partner. And black people have managed to do so.
Early 2000s late 1990s where they just touched barely on homophobic behavior. You shouldn’t trust any adult stranger around your kids gay or not. These shows tended to stray away from really addressing homophobia like with Kenny it would’ve been better to see him and the guy have a conversation to find understanding but nah they just had an awkward ass interaction. Maxine came close but didn’t do much or wasn’t seen having a conversation about it with Ahmad. That would’ve been better. Teri’s whole life was wrapped around that firm and being a lawyer she tried to separate being a black woman from her career and she knew those people weren’t going to do that. She knows she’s better than the other partners at the firm. Too bad she spent too much time trying to be recognized instead of having something else lined up in case that failed which it did.
I do NOT like what Kenny was doing in this episode. Even though I think he's mostly a cool dad to Ahmad alongside his (Ahmad) sisters & a wonderful husband to Maxine, I just think that his intolerance against a guy named Steve's sexuality was totally unnecessary. I know how wrong intolerance is because I used to support it until I learned how stupid it was.
Hell naw I wouldn't trust a gay man around my son, I remember my husband met this gay dude. My husband said long as he don't make a pass at him he was cool with him my son met him to, well one day that gay dude Lourde a 13 year old to his apartment. I know I repeat I know every gay dude not the same but u just don't never know an got to be protective of your kids.
So one person changed your opinion about gay people… I doubt that you apply that logic to every person you meet in your daily life. Just say you’re intolerant and move on.
🙄🙄 girl please with this story it’s men who aren’t gay that you have to watch around your children don’t have adults you don’t trust around them not just specifically gay people.
"Dry your eyes child, put your tough skin back on" love this line
alive or dead big mama always kept the family together.
i just said that to myself the other day. that is one of my new motto.
Such an amazing line and one that I have said to myself so many times
You are enough.
Made me cry like a little baby omg
This is really one of my comforting shows brings back happy times from the past
I love it! It puts me to sleep.

I'm not sure why I appreciate the scenes with Lem in the store so much lol

It mean u appreciate hard working men who never gives up no matter the shit the world bring upon u
Cause he was happy. He wasn't dealing with the joseph sisters, especially bird and Teri, being on his ass. He was in his element and at peace.
BECAUSE!!!! 😂 Lem finally got his big break!! We've been waiting for this!! ❤❤

Great music in this show.
Totally agree!
Teri was deserving of a partnership.
Funny to know that nowadays "Kenny" plays a gay man on the show 911 😂

Teri was holding it in she needed that breakdown
I just realized bird own a hair salon and Ahmad hairline look like that even tho he go there after school every day
Right! They had that child fucked up with that hairline 😂

Poor Terri she had it all, but really has nothing.
atlsong byrd indeed this is something that we all face
She’s black and a woman. White boys worst nightmare

Damon really messed up. Teri opened her heart completely and let him in, and he ruined it. He should have told that girl to scram.
He should of told Terri when she first met christine

Things got better for you.❤
Teri loves Damon too that's another reason why her feelings are hurt besides not making partner.
That crazy ass man insulted Lem like he was forcing him to buy a stolen cookies!
Love this show. Thank u for putting up these videos.
Because she's black and also female is why she never made partner!
"Cookies- all -crummmble!!!" 😂😂😂😂
23 years later and now I finally know what he was yelling! 🤣🤣🤣
What does this mean exactly?
Love this show
Saaaaaasme here. I HATED that it ended

Is it just me or does the actor playing Ahmad look like what The Game would've looked like when he was younger...?
Definitely!
Christine was so damn pathetic and she needed to move on 😒.
Exactly! Just embarrassing herself over a boy who didn’t want her.
