'90s TV Shows That Never Took Off | Part 3

[@amandaprice4190]

​@@mauricehamilton4025 yup and the show "Good behavior" was remade on TBS in 2016 starring Michelle Dockery in the same role as Sherman Hemsley's character in a more serious tone

[@jinakaye]

That kind of fits Dorian Wilson, though-either a college professor, a minister, or a cop.

[@KeenLagerfeld]

It's kinda sad seeing so many of the same Black actors (Vivica, Vanessa B Calloway, Damon Wayans, etc.) having to hop around from project to project, hoping to strike gold. Luckily for them, it eventually happened, but i know it had to be discouraging. I can only imagine how many unknown Black actors gave up over time..😞

[@jinakaye]

Literally, in Hollywood, they have “pilot season”-actors audition & film tv shows and hope the shows get picked up or they try again the following season. If the show does get picked up, but gets canned, there's room to audition for other shows-depending on when the cancellation occurs. There have been some actors who also auditioned for other shows while being linked to a currently airing one-and having to leave when the show gets picked up. That happened with “Mixed -ish” with Mark-Paul Gosselaar replacing Anders Holm as Bow's dad. Anders left to do “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”.

[@kaitlynneyoung4160]

It’s wild how they canceled Tall Hopes but used it to be the outline for Boy Meets World

[@MissLadyG99]

Unfortunately Tall Hopes aired on CBS. Back then CBS didn't have as good of a lineup of shows as ABC or NBC. Boy Meets World aired on ABC during T.G.I.F. I think this helped it out alot. The cast from BMW talked about how the show was moved to a later time slot on T.G.I.F. and since they thought no one was watching they just kind let loose and had fun and before they realized it they had an audience of viewers. Then they were moved to an earlier time slot on the T.G.I.F lineup.

[@TheLovesnowangel]

Yep that's what they do for black shows

[@handsomeX]

​@@MissLadyG99Ahh ok that makes sense.

[@SchofieldAJ]

Nah! Tall Hopes looked like a Wannabe Combo of The Cosby Show, Family Matters & Good Times as it wasn't no outline for Boy Meets World. As it looked Hokey from the clips as them Shows I listed or any other if you go back and look at "Copy & Paste" Afro-Centric Shows as they always have to have 1 Kid a some kinda Basketball or Football Star Athlete as heck you could even say it was a Hokey version of The Hogan's Family as well if you wanna go the race card crap route!

[@alfonsogreen2722]

Great point

[@MariahBraxton1]

If they reworked it, it could probably work on a streaming service original series.

[@jinakaye]

Let me tell you… Under One Roof, Goode Behavior, Linc's, 413 Hope Street, and Getting Personal all deserved way more than they got. At the same time, most of the actors on those shows would not have had the careers they've had if not for the cancellations. Would we have gotten Ida Mae's bestie & Olivia Pope's dad if “Under One Roof” had lasted longer? “Tall Hopes” is the one that gets me because it's so obvious that Terrence Howard is an adult on the show while playing a teenager…which is in direct contrast to him playing a college student who dated an older Maxine Shaw on “Living Single” (even though Terrence & Erika Alexander are around the same age). I give it up to Kenny Blank, though. He, Merlin Santana, and Bianca Lawson were in just about every Black show in the 90s.

[@theejcharles]

I recently went through a 90s sitcom rabbit hole & I watched a few of these shows.

[@shay_lah]

the looks on their faces at 3:01 wouldve been enough for me to watch that show 😂😂😂 I LOVED Good News. watched it all the time ❤

[@stingrey1571]

The thing about rhythm & blues, it is a short sighted premise. It might have worked for an 80s comedy movie or the plot for a few episodes. How were they going to drag that out for several seasons let alone one?

It helps connect the dots about the bigger agenda. At the start of the 90s , the black community were still standing on business especially after Rodney King and OJ. Picking up the pieces from the 80s crack era. Slowly but surely they removed representation of US doing well for ourselves by the mid 2000s it was far and few in-between.
