Sparks "Don't Get Hooked On Me"

[@charlita25]

Talented cast. James, Terrence, James, Robin , & Kym

[@sbrooks729]

Arif also

[@larrylollis5875]

They need to put this on dvd

[@EDCReviewz]

Such a great cast! Terrance Howard before he blew up, Kym Whitley is always funny, James Avery (RIP) Miguel Nunez Jr, Robin Givens making a comeback, and they had a SLEW of guest appearances. UPN was lit in the 90's

[@JayBelafonte]

Can we have a network that plays all these throwback 80's and 90's Black Sitcoms?? The licensing for these can't be that much. I would watch these all day

[@justfeewiththetea1969]

Jay Belafonte wow I said the same thing, one of them need to pick this up, the ratings will be off the chain/hook lollll

[@lateshiachilds3640]

I said pretty much the same thing on another TV show board. I would love to own a network and I would play all 70s, 80s, 90s, and early 00s black sitcoms and some drama/action shows like In The Heat of the Night, New York Undercover, and etc.

[@CWConnections]

They do have a network that plays mostly black programming it's called Bounce TV.

[@derekpeterson84]

Straight Up!

[@Risha-Rene]

We need to start our own network

[@cornbreadthedog]

Wow...Kym Whitley has got it going on! I think she's absolutely gorgeous! I met her in person almost 6 months ago. She's a sweet and funny lady as well. Sure wished SPARKS was on DVD! I'd buy every season!

[@EDifyer881]

You ain't lying I'd be all over her lol

[@TBearTheDJ]

facts this episode really draw me to her especially the way her and Terrance kiss

[@EDifyer881]

[@edm1207]

Yeah she was a snack in friday after next when her ass got spanked lol

[@cornbreadthedog]

@Chocolate Queen That's usually the way it goes. Most people throw away real love and somebody that's going to treat them good for stupid reasons or because they're afraid or too immature to commit to a real and meaningful relationship. Been there before.

Terrence Howard is so handsome and those eyes are glowing.

[@lateshiachilds3640]

I know right

[@RETROGEMS]

I used to have a major crush on him back when this show aired! So fine.

[@talinawinston5505]

He was a good looking man!

[@cornbreadthedog]

I'll say it again...SPARKS is too good a show just to be sitting in a studios vault somewhere. I'd buy every season if they'd release it on DVD. Oh, and add A DIFFERENT WORLD, a truly great and groundbreaking show that was way ahead of it's time, that's NOT out on DVD, too!

[@rebekahopara4179]

A different world is out on DVD

[@cornbreadthedog]

At the time that I wrote this, there was only one season of A Different World on DVD. Every season of A Different World should be on DVD just like Friends is.

[@prettydopetvpodcast2946]

Me too!

[@tashawilliams8093]

This show should've had more than two seasons.

[@GSU2004]

I was very disappointed when UPN dropped this along with In The House. Sparks easily could have went to 5 seasons.

[@kindsoul8120]

The cast was amazing, they needed a better team. Especially in the writer's department! xD

[@yamasoe6055]

the shit is amazing but it never continued. how it shows how many the hit shows during the the 90s. its kinda amazing now hen you think of it and compare to now

[@kelvinfiler7805]

This show was based on my law practice in Compton !!!!!

[@kelvinfiler7805]

@Mike Banks do your research...I was in private practice from 1982 through 1993 in my hometown of Compton California !! The show is based on my practice. My family signed the release. The main character is named after my father - "Maxcy". i left the practice of law to come on the bench...I'm now a Judge in the Compton Courthouse !

[@kelvinfiler7805]

@Mike Banks Do your research Brother...it was based on my law practice from 1982 through 1993..I left the practice to come on the bench. Google the name "Maxcy D Filer"

[@kelvinfiler7805]

Mike Banks have you done your research ? Go ahead and google my name - Kelvin D Filer - I’m straight outta Compton !!!
