[@Otto8845]

I loved both versions of "In The House" but the final version was beautiful.

[@tiffanysedits5406]

Yeah, this show, especially the first two years was very funny in my opinion. But it was obviously trying to replicate the success of the Fresh Prince. So they tinkered around with different characters and whatnot to try and make another winning formula. So the show suffered for not really having its own identity. Too many inconsistencies. I also think the show was more appealing to black audiences than others. So the crossover success was not at the same level. Additionally, hip hop was no longer a novelty in '95 like it was in '90. But ultimately, I loved Debbie and LL in these roles. The kids too. When Kim and Alfonzo showed up it wasn't the same.

[@brandonbates9259]

It's on Tubi lol and everything you said is facts cause I just finished season 2 and now I don't want to continue...it was probably a few good episodes but it wasn't the same without Debbie and the kid that played Austin

I was just saying that to me In The House Hanging With Mr. Cooper and The Hughleys are three sitcoms that our underrated that no one talks or mentions. Those shows might didn't get high ratings or talk about like back in the 90s like they do other sitcoms. But In The House is a dope show.

[@lecoyablocker9757]

[@SMP2390]

Like you said it was smart for in the house to move to the Young Adult sitcom instead of the family type I feel like though season five was just buying time like the last page on an essay for school. They were like we have another season and since Marion didn't get married last season lets give him another girlfriend this season and rush to make them end the game.

Yo! Any and everybody got a sitcom back in the day. The show wasn't bad, I think it picked up in Season 3 going forward. I wouldn't put it at the top with Martin, Fresh Prince, or The Parkers, but its a decent watch.

Yeah it is an average sitcom. It wasn't no Martin or Family Matters but it is an ok sitcom .

8:20 You got that wrong. The first song was only for the first season. The second season had a different theme song, and neither were by Quincy Jones. The first one sampled Superman Lover by Johnny "Guitar" Watson. The second was at least partially composed by LL Cool J.

I remember the UPN version of it. UPN was it back in the day.

[@RonCorleone]

I liked the first two seasons(which is basically Who's The Boss) because I like Debbie Allen but I definitely prefer what the show ended up becoming. I liked the clinic setting along with Max & Tonya and glad Tiffany stuck around. Also, there was one more show that took place in this universe, Out All Night which like Fresh Prince and In The House, also starred a famous black musician(Patti Labelle) and was produced by Quincy Jones.

[@larrymarshall8900]

Didn't know Quincy Jones produced Out All Night. Yes all three of them our musicians with their own sitcoms. Now I wish that Out All Night would have last at least five seasons instead of one. Also Out All Night isn't a spinoff of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air either.

[@SchofieldAJ]

Don't forget Blossom also kinda too place in this Universe when Blossom met The Fresh Prince!

[@jayfriday9485]

I think the second version had a more original premise, with characters and situations that were distinct. I even prefer the opening theme to the first. for me, tonya (played by kim wayans) made the show hilarious. I preferred her friendship with marion versus her initial obsession with him. the show fell off once she left in my opinion.

[@peanutmansemporiumofrandom7472]

5:46 I’m legitimately surprised that Marion Suge Knight didn’t try to strong arm the show. He was an ex football player wasn’t he? I guess he knew LL wasn’t soft and he couldn’t try his BS street tactics against NBC lawyers.

There's a pilot episode named In The House with another cast on YT. I'm curious if the name was picked up for LL's series.

[@Crazy-kk9jt]

To me in the House is my favorite show in the late 90s and LL was doing alot of Great Things,help putting Fubu Fashion on The Map and especially getting Legendary Acting Roles and personally i can relate to Marion Hill's Character and he had disappointed Love Interest with women but he kept his head high and continue to maintain his inner peace and self improvement and gave incredible advice to people who needed to hear the truth about life changing decisions. And its a Blessing that they had a final episode before it went off the Air and It was fun to watch in my book.

[@WaldoBagelTopper]

Damn- I remember this... I remember watching it regularly... I couldn't tell you the name of a single character lmao The ONLY thing that I remember about that show was feeling weird that he CONSTANTLY walked around the show dressed as mid 90s LL. He always had on a windbreaker and those tennis visor hats or ball caps.

To me this show got stupid when they made Kim Wayans a regular cast member. Her character annoyed me to no end, one of the reasons why I don’t watch the show in reruns now. I wish they would’ve kept Debbie Allen and that concept till the end of the series. I never understood why she was let go in the first place.

[@averystewart3117]

A beautiful show ahead of its time… Featuring an (technical) age gap relationship of sorts, and the value of having positive respectful yet strong male role model(s) in a single female parent household!!! plus Debbie Allen is every bit the actress her sister Felicia Allen Rashad is plus she’s a slightly better dancer PS- if you bother to look up the show, also notice that the nerdy glasses wearing doctor whom Debbie Allen was married to on. The show was successful despite his nerdiness, and that is to be respected both black men on the show were different, but perfectly presentable to any national Society.

By the time I discovered it, it was on UPN and I figured I was watching reruns but I didn’t know until a few years ago that it actually had been picked up by UPN.
