While I applaud D.L. for being a black man with his own show, The Hugleys just wasn’t the same caliber of the elite 90s-early 2000s black shows like “Martin”, “Living Single”, “Moesha”, “The Parkers”, “Girlfriends”, “Half and Half” or even “My Wife & kids”. I often forget The Hughleys even existed!
I could say it was the suburban thing… but even My Wife and Kids and Moesha etc were suburban and 1000x better than this. They tried, but it was kind of boring in a way
Well said!!!! There was something super flavorful about those shows in the 90s. The enriching music performers, the conversation, comedy, culture, the suspenseful episode arcs, etc. His show? Ehh…
I actually liked The Hughleys far more than My Wife & Kids... Moesha changed once Ray J was added it became wack as they portrayed the dad as a cheater. Roc is a show that doesn't get its flowers. One of the best casts and storylines of any 1990s AA TV show. Hangin' With Mr Cooper is another one as well. Where I Live should have gotten more support too.
The storylines don’t sound the same. I’ve never watched this show. My wife and kids is one of the funniest shows I’ve ever watched 😂 I still watch it a few times a week when I need a good laugh.
Thank you for this video. Can we please get stories on the following underrated 90s shows: Roc Hangin With Mr. Cooper The Parenthood The Wayans Bros The Steve Harvey Show In The House Malcolm & Eddie
I know I'm in the minority but I loved "The Hughleys" TV show. I don't like his stand up or his radio show, but this show was the best thing he has done to me.
DL just wasn't funny to me. I couldn't get into his show either. People can say what they want about Steve Harvey nowadays, but at least The Steve Harvey Show was funny.
@@YoursAnonymouslyif you really think about it The Steve Harvey Show was funny cause of the supporting characters like Bullethead, Romeo, Lydia, Lovita, and Cedric, not because of Steve!
@@YoursAnonymously I couldn't get into Steve Harvey's stand up. I don't think he's funny but The Steve Harvey Show was funny and that was only because of the supporting characters.
Let's be honest. My Wife and Kids was way better than the hughleys. ABC saw more potential in Damon's show and the hughleys weren't getting as much viewers as ABC expected. UPN was the network where black sitcoms thrived in the 2000s and they basically built their network on the backs of those shows which was why they were so willing to pick up the hughleys.
@@bresams2917 You know I'm not sure. But he has done a few interviews since getting out of prison. You can find them here on TH-cam. I think he was molested in my opinion
Great video. Not a fan of D.L., but I enjoyed the Hughley's. I am not surprised about ABC at all. these days ABC doesn't have a show with a positive black male lead, they would never have 2 shows with positive black male leads.
In an vlad interview with dj Daniels when stepped away from acting and veered into trouble that could have ended wrong dl never turned his back and testified at his case. When shows ends most stars go their separate ways.. it's cool to hear when one cares.
TBH Bernie Mac and Everybody loves Chris was funnier than both. But yeah I could find Wife and Kids reruns all the time on TV back then the Hughlys always popped up on small black owned stations like Bounce and TV one.
Well the Wayans brothers are known for stealing other creators ideas but putting a little twist to it to make it more funny and I noticed how they tried to use the idea of the characters Marcus Burnett and Mike Lowrey from the movie Bad Boys for their characters in the movie White Chicks especially when Marlon’s character’s name is Marcus as well
The TV show The Neighborhood is the opposite of The Hughleys because it's about a white family who lives in a black neighborhood. It's on CBS and Paramount+.
Didn't talk about the daughter at all neither!! Like, where she at??!! What she been doing!!??!! 🤔🤔👀👀....Just was focused on DL and the network!! 😩😩🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤣🤣
I personally wasn’t an avid watcher of either. I watched more episodes of MWAK than the Hughley’s but I don’t think one was better than the other. They were both fine but neither really held my interest enough to watch the entire series.
@@emayan06 nobody said it was , but don’t be naive because a lot of things are DEFINITELY about race . You must be one of those “It never happened to me so it doesn’t exist” type of black people .
Also wondering if Will Smith stole elements of the show One on One for All of Us. Robert Ri'chard even alleged that he was supposedly behind the cancellation🤔
The Hughleys were somehow boring and try-hard. The chemistry just wasn't there. Then there was LisaRaye's acting. "My Wife and Kids" was funny, and Tisha and Damon had chemistry.
😂 you made the same mistake I did and confused this show with the one Lisa Raye was on. I don’t remember the name of the show. I think we mix them up because Elise Neal played in both. 😂
@@manestage5403 LMAO great minds think alike, I left a comment saying the exact same thing! Both shows were boring and forgettable. In my opinion Everybody Hates Chris was the last great black sitcom until Abbot elementary came along.
The only good/memorable episode from this show was when Bobby said “N*gga”…. And as I’m typing this I just realized that wasn’t even this show 😂 it was the one with LisaRaye in it that I don’t remember the title. So yeah, I guess there was nothing good or memorable about this show 😂
I think his comedy set from Kings of Comedy soured the TV dad. Look up his joke on sleeping over at child predators homes who are family members. While he's making a family show with kids, that's just gross. If he was at all good at acting you'd see him in something just for his celebrity. But they didn't even need him for Soul Plane.
I believe it was a good call because My wife and kids was WAYYYY funnier than The Hugleys, and that's where the money and viewers were gonna come from, and it was a success until it ended!! 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️💯💯
No if anything My Wife & Kids was more similar to The Bernie Mac Show as far as storylines which Is why both of those shows used to compete on same night
I preferred My Wife and Kids over The Hughleys. Only one episode with Pat I really liked and still remember. The rest were not worth remembering. Plus, I couldn't stand their White neighbors! They weren't like other memorable White actors and actresses as seen on TV in those days. 🤔🤔
Well, this show sucked. It was boring. I think DL is non-funny so not surprised his show was also esp if he was writing on it. How is he a King of Comedy???🤔🤷♀️
I don’t think ‘my wife and kids’ is anything like ‘the hughleys’. just like I don’t think ‘the steve harvey show’ is anything like ‘hangin with mr cooper’.
Sorry Mr. Hughley, your show just wasn’t good. My wife & kids was so much funnier. I rarely hear anyone actually say they enjoyed the hughleys. DL is corny.

So funny! My Wife and Kids is top 5 funniest show, period!

I love Roc!!!
@@jasminehill6312 It’s streaming on Pluto.
Yass
I'm gonna be honest, My Wife & Kids was funnier and more relatable to viewers. The Hughleys was quite boring.
I used to watch this show after school on UPN. I liked it and still do. I still remember the theme songs.
I know I'm in the minority but I loved "The Hughleys" TV show. I don't like his stand up or his radio show, but this show was the best thing he has done to me.
Probably tired of me now…
But we need one on the “WAYANS BROS” tv show!
Maybe it didn't work out cause it wasn't nearly as funny as My Wife and Kids?
Right
And wasn't.
Yep I didn’t like it much
The Hughleys lacked chemistry. The show did not feel organic and the jokes felt forced.
Something about DL Hugley I can't put my finger on it, but as a kid I skipped his and Steve Harvey part's on King's Of Comedy 😭
DL just wasn't funny to me. I couldn't get into his show either. People can say what they want about Steve Harvey nowadays, but at least The Steve Harvey Show was funny.
DL standup is alright. But his roasting is top tier. I put him up there with Jamie Foxx when it comes to that
@@YoursAnonymouslyif you really think about it The Steve Harvey Show was funny cause of the supporting characters like Bullethead, Romeo, Lydia, Lovita, and Cedric, not because of Steve!
@@YoursAnonymously I couldn't get into Steve Harvey's stand up. I don't think he's funny but The Steve Harvey Show was funny and that was only because of the supporting characters.
YES! They're actually NOT funny to me at all👍
I tried to give the DL Hughley show a watch, but it wasn’t for me lol.
Agreed. All I remember about the show was him ranting about something. Ehhh…..
I agree
I agree I really wasn't into the show like that
He's not for a lot of people he's not funny , 😂
Me either idk what is was I just couldn't never get into it.
Dave rogers looks like MR. INCREDIBLE
Mrs Incredible bad af 😂
If he did steal it my wife and kids was way better
Let's be honest. My Wife and Kids was way better than the hughleys. ABC saw more potential in Damon's show and the hughleys weren't getting as much viewers as ABC expected. UPN was the network where black sitcoms thrived in the 2000s and they basically built their network on the backs of those shows which was why they were so willing to pick up the hughleys.
Thank you for saying this for me!! 🤗🤗🤣🤣 DEFINITELY way funnier!! 💯💯
The boy on this show has really changed. Tattoos on his face 😮. Thank you Juicy Pop for this video

I never knew about this show till several years ago.
I did a McDonald's commercial with dj ...such a bright kid at the time

I liked The Hughleys even though it wasn’t as great as the other shows! My Wife & Kids was a better show than The Hughleys but glad to get this!
Thank you for a new video
ABC is so lucky My Wife and Kids actually worked out.
It was ok (IMO) but wasn't terrible by far that I remember. However, it's not something I would revisit.
My favorite episode is still the one with the late Pat Morita plays a Korean man moving in their neighborhood, and him and Hughley get into it.
Great story on The Hughleys
That was a good show.
I wasn’t a big fan of it,
but some episodes were funny.
My Wife and Kids>>>>> The Hughleys
I love DL as a comedian. But I couldn’t get into this show. Great video nonetheless. Lots of great facts!
The tones of the show were completely different in my opinion.
1:17 I miss the hugleys.
1:54 I love 😚😘 that show too.
What happened to dave and sally's kids? They are always being babysat but we dont see them after like season 1 or 2.
TBH Bernie Mac and Everybody loves Chris was funnier than both. But yeah I could find Wife and Kids reruns all the time on TV back then the Hughlys always popped up on small black owned stations like Bounce and TV one.
I actually liked The Hughleys far more than My Wife & Kids... DL's show had the better cast and storylines in my mind.
So did I. My wife kids had Jay (Tesha Campbell) needy a lot.
Uhhhh.........
*NO!!* -Michael Kyle Senior
Respectfully, this show isn’t funny.
I thought that I was the only one who thought that💯💯💯

Something happened to that boy on the set of this show. I don’t care what anyone says, he was touched. Look at all the tattoo’s he has!
Yep I believe that too.
Now CBS with (The Neighborhood) looking like the same template.
Somewhat funny . Somewhat heavy handed.🎉🎉🎉
The most memorable thing to me about The Hughleys was Marla Gibbs and John Henton Their neighbors were annoying and so was DL.
The TV show The Neighborhood is the opposite of The Hughleys because it's about a white family who lives in a black neighborhood. It's on CBS and Paramount+.
Idc what anyone says about D.L Hughley but he is funny.
His general routine of jokes was hit or miss for me but he could always snap with the best of em
Why didn't you talk about the kid that played DL's son killing someone and having all of those face tattoos?
Maybe bc it’s not where are they now lol
Didn't talk about the daughter at all neither!! Like, where she at??!! What she been doing!!??!! 🤔🤔👀👀....Just was focused on DL and the network!! 😩😩🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤣🤣
*Exactly!* *LOL*
TH-cam and other social media platforms already have a plethora of videos about it.

2:10 - 3:23 Now I get it.
Here for this one
I literally forgotten about this show 🤦🏽♀️
I always forget that D.L. Hughley had his own show before, this is just never stood out in any way
My wife and kids are not the same. No white people visited that house 😂😂😂😂
DL Hugley is funny in stand up
Martin, Jamie Fox, Living Single and Roc
She already made videos on Martin, Jamie Fox and Roc before she made videos on The Hugelys
You also cannot overlook that My wife and kids was eventually a lighter brown aka more "palatable" version of DLs show...👀
It was funnier too but yes , notice how Jr is the brownest person in the household, so they made him the “stupid” one smh ……
Everything is not about color
@@emayan06 nobody said it was , but don’t be naive because a lot of things are DEFINITELY about race . You must be one of those “It never happened to me so it doesn’t exist” type of black people .
MWAK is an objectively better show! I thought it was way more relatable and funnier. 🤷🏾♀️
Tia looked older in that show than on All of us
Huh
Are you talking about Elise Neal it's probably because of her hairstyle
It was the short haircut.
The shows were definitely similar. They both worked in the same profession. It was the same show.

This show was ok
The Hughleys wasn't even funny
Sorry Mr. Hughley, your show just wasn’t good. My wife & kids was so much funnier. I rarely hear anyone actually say they enjoyed the hughleys. DL is corny.
"The Neighborhood" with Cedric The Entertainer is the exact same show as "The Hugheleys" -boring & not funny.
Dl is not funny his show was boo boo
I fuck wit the hugleys
