      1st & foremost this was a business decision as Mara Akil stated; she saw that Grammar's Grammnet inc. would benefit investing in the show & Grammar saw that also. Nothing wrong with that. And after Grammar saw it was a 'smart TV show' like his projects he made a smart business move sticking with Ms. Akil with The Game. Props first to Akil for seeing the opportunity then second to Grammar for investing in a profitable show that had cultural relevance to us.

    I would pay any amount for a movie to wrap things up. This really was an outlet for black women to relate to. I watched my family as they witnessed Jill not returning, waiting for a series finale, waiting to see what would happen next. And they never got it. I watched all of the episodes I could (thanks to TH-cam having them) and I see why they so desperately wanted more. We need a movie to wrap things up, the audience deserves it. And not to change the subject, but I hate that many Black shows end this way. With no resolution. We fight, we argue but most importantly we heal, we love. The audience needs to see this. I hope and pray that one day the opportunity will present its self for everyone to be able to participate and deliver.

    One of my favorite sitcoms in the 2000s! Each of these women brought out the true authenticity of what we experience as black women. And this was comedy, even better!

    JMJ hasn’t had much of a movie career. And yes, her exit took the show downhill. I loved the character “Monica,” though. She was a better main character “replacement” than some shows get.

      If well made, no doubt a reunion movie will get the support, esp from black and brown ppl. Why I say that? Look at movies like "Us" "Get out" "Blank Panther" and others. The power of black money.

  • @mariekano9730

    I used to love this show as a teenager coming home from school and have a good connector with the characters. It was a great positive view on African Americans and I haven't seen shows do that. It was funny and serious and had great lessons. I still watch it to this day. It really spoke to me and us black folks dont get shows like this that have characters to look up or relate to. I binge watch it whenever it's on tv when they do marathons. A classic gem. Jill was a fool to leave. It's not always greener on the other side

    I loved Toni, but the show would have survived without her. The initial slump would have been anticipated, just like the slump in every show when a main character departs unexpectedly. I think this show was just a victim of the Writer’s Strike. They didn’t have the chance to really find their footing again
    As for a reunion movie, maybe 5-6 years ago. Too much time has passed. I’d rather see a nod to them in other shows. Kinda like how Half and Half brought in Max and Kyle for an episode. Let Bow from Black-ish run into one of the girls.

    I want you to do a special on Baby Girl, Aaliyah Dana Houghton.
    Highlight her beginning, her ground breaking One In A Million. Her unique style and prominence as a trend setter. Her film endeavors. Talk about her relationship with Missy, Tim, Genuwine, her close friend Rosario Dawson etc. Her impact on the CULTURE. Where she would be today. How her passing impacted the industry as well as any other areas that you feel are important.
    If you could do this without damaging her legacy or focusing on her situation with Robert Kelly, that would be great.
    She deserves so much more than that lifetime movie!
