The show would end up being one of the most successful shows on the network, and even spawned a successful spinoff of its own in The Game. For us, the men who were either forced to watch the show with their lady or caught a few episodes in passing, characters like Darnell (played mostly by Khalil Kain) and William (played by Reggie Hayes) at least made the show somewhat enjoyable with their humor and dialogue. Some could relate to Joan (played by Tracee Ellis Ross), others could relate to the down to earth vibe of Maya (played by Golden Brooks), some saw themselves in the shallow yet honest Toni (played by Jill Marie Jones), and a few saw themselves as Lynn (played by Persia White). Starring four beautiful women are successful friends searching for their paths, the show was very engaging for the viewers especially women who could see a little bit of themselves in the characters. While Girlfriends isn't for everyone, it hit the intended audience it was supposed to, and then some. 1 spot? Aside from Moesha, it's not even close.
Could there be another choice for the no. Still, a show revolving around the teenage experience, family, and more can't really go TOO wrong, and it didn't (aside from the Ray J "D-Money" stories that were more laughable than serious). Moesha lasted 6 seasons, and staked a claim as one of the best black shows of the 90's, even though looking back, Moesha might have been overly spoiled and not the best decision maker. The struggle of teenage angst and growth is a central theme and while Moesha is the main character, there are so many other memorable characters on the show from Miles, her little brother to her stepmother Dee to her father Frank (most hilarious and stiff fade in the world) to her friends Hakeem, Kim, and Niecy, all the way her love interest Q (played by Fredro Starr), there was no shortage of characters that you enjoyed watching. Starring huge star Brandy as the titular character, the show took you through the life of a middle class family in Leimert Park, but mostly through the eyes of Moesha. At the time that the show premiered, I was an avid Martin watcher and UPN had grabbed my attention with this sitcom that would become one of the biggest successes for the network. I'll be completely honest: if I was being biased, Moesha would be the no.
