I’m trying to start a new segment for throwback Thursdays where I livestream a watch party for these old black sitcoms. I just need to figure out how to get around copyright infringement. Let me know your ideas. LASTLY, follow your girl on Instagram>> instagram.com/crystalalejandroo?igshid=cglu8ycp146g
Mute certain parts of the show is how most get around copyright. Also speeding up or slowing down the video, adding background and distorting the voices alittle. Please don't mute the good parts though -I watched a whole episode of something for them to mute the argument at the end that everyone was waiting to see 🤣.
Heyyyyy girl heyyy!!! I’ve been waiting patiently for you to post! Pleaseeee never ever change your intro (unless you absolutely must lol) because I loveeeee how much it gives me nostalgia! I’m a 80’s baby!!!! I’m soooo glad you’re back with another amazing video! I literally have my bag of popcorn 🍿 ready to watch! 🤩 Keep up the great work and research beloved! May God bless you! ((Big Hugs)) ❤️
you could stream it live on a platform like kast.gg or rave, kast is for desktop accessibility and rave is for mobile. people regularly stream TV shows and movies and there’s a chat room there. it’s separate from youtube so no worries about copyright. there used to be a service called rabb.it but it shut down, kast.gg is the same exact software though.
@@animalstyle5242 I was born in 92 also and I remember from like 96 to 99 and 2000 and so forth. I remember when Britney, Christina and the Spice Girls came out in 97 lol. I literally remember Britney's debut followed by Christina. I was obsessed as a 5 yr old kid lol.
@@Chae_shay that's crazy i remember when the first spongebob episode came out in 99 my aunt was saying there this new show coming out and we watched the first episode when he was blowing bubbles at the stand LMFAO
You have to understand that “That’s so Raven” actually BROKE barriers on Disney for being the FIRST show to go beyond 100 episodes because Disney only ordered episodes for certain amount. And went on to have spinoffs not like any other Disney show.
Peridot right lmao these shows are so racist to every other minority and it’s bs. Shame on those ethnic individuals that are happy to participate in shows like these 😩.. In a way i can’t blame them, we all want income one way or another to provide for our families.
Cause Disney is racist or at least most aspects of it are. Even Walt Disney himself was racist. Slowly and every now and then you see people of color being in a show or black tv shows/movies being made.
they dumb down television this we we the last generation for good shows after that its history what makes it worse is that they haven't even release non of these tv shows for dvd and there's still a few of them I wanna add to my collection
Nickelodeon was the worst offender when it came to cancelling Black children's sitcoms. I gotta give it to Disney, at least they gave series more time to breathe before ultimately canning them.
Not really. Disney had the 65 episode rule. Plus Nickelodeon had way more black shows like my brother and i, Kenan and kel, alan the aliens, cousin skeeter And they were more original
@@mania4270 Sorry but I have to agree with Random Black Gamer here. Disney was better with it's black lead shows whereas Nick had a tendency to cancel it's good black shows after 1 or 2 seasons.
@@KRSonbe maybe now but not back then. Sure tiana on got 2 seasons but shows like Kenan and kel, all that, cousin skeeter ran for just as ling as the disney sitcoms
When I see fun black shows like these I can’t help but think, this is what BET should be doing. BET should be for us, we should be able to go to BET and know that our kids will be able to watch these fun black shows (not just a million reruns of baby boy 🙄). I hate that we have to rely on white networks to show us representation, when we should be doing this for ourselves.
Right, cause at this point I'm tired of seeing The Player's Club. BET and other networks need to come up with a different variety of shows, not just black drama and B.S. And I want to see other black family shows besides Blackish.
BET and I think Ebony are both White owned. BET/TVOne/Centric are owned by Viacom which owns MTV, that one Latino news publication, and other non-Black properties which is why BET and Soul Train suck now.
Elyse George The point that was being made is BET NEVER did anything with black TV shows. BET just became white owned a few years ago. && whether it’s black owned or not.... the whole network is Black Entertainment Television. BET has NEVER had a black cartoon or anything for children, hell the showtime is a marathon of Martin then the same 3 movies back to back.
That’s so Raven, Kenan and Kel, One on One, The Proud Family, Sister Sister, Just Jordan, Romeo, True Jackson VP, and All That were some of my favorite shows as a kid. 😍
And now when we do get black representation, especially if it's black female representation, it is ALWAYS a biracial girl. I miss the freaking 90s, man. Getting to turn on my TV and seeing black excellence everywhere. These kids today will never know.
mjamitche5 Zendaya, Yara Shahidi, Amandla, Alexandra Shipp, Alisha Wainwright, Storm Reid. I could go on. If they want to argue that they’re trying to represent the idea of what America will look like inevitably, why don’t they also represent black male roles through biracial men? It’s really sinister what people are trying to do to black womanhood.
Right! There were more darker skinned actors on kids shows back then. I don’t understand why most of the black women on tv now are either light-skinned or biracial. We need to see a lot more chocolate!
I did notice that alot of the young black sitcoms on Nickelodeon and Disney didn't last long......the only one that last the longest was That's So Raven
Because these shows were hope for us and they don't want that, it wasn't ratchet, raunchy, or ghetto and it reinforced morals and principles and had so many good examples. They don't want that anymore, look at what they replaced it with... smh.
Armaan LaVette TV You’re so right! Think about the other shows A Different World inspired us to go to college, The Cosby Show inspired us to want to have united black families, Family Matters inspired us to stick together. They want us to do what we’ve been doing with this new wave reality tv...hate each other, look out for your own personal gain regardless if it’s at the expense of your morals and values
Armaan LaVette TV then there were shows like homeboys in outer space method and Redman there were a lot of stupid ass shows out there that wanted to focus on thug life and that’s it that don’t teach shit
*Being black was the thing to be in the 90s/early 2000s so they felt like they could market shows to us more than usual but after they made all that money, they was done. They'll throw us a black person here and there in a white show just so we wouldn't complain but that time has come and gone for all black family friendly shows on nick & Disney to be like it was*
Sim ? Or maybe shows were just more naturally diverse between the 90s & early 2000s. I feel like the world was at it’s happiest during that Era, everything went down hill from 2012 it feels like, when blackberries and iphones began being introduced.
Sim ? Idk maybe it’s only among young people but I see so many teens at my school using Ebonics and listening to rap music. Idk if it’s a good thing or bad thing tho cuz now u see everybody saying the n word and stuff. Idk I’m not black I’m Mexican so maybe the amount of people emulating black culture is a good thing
Yea..BUT there were people PUSHING for these shows to be made. We grew up with them, and just EXPECTED it to keep happening without us pushing for it. White people are actively coming up with more and more ideas. And of course they're going to promote their own perspectives. The problem is that we're just expecting networks to create these shows for us. OUR people will have to keep writing scripts and pushing for it to be aired.
Asia Coleman don’t diss doja cat cause older people in your generation was saying the same thing about Beyoncé Missy and more they talked about sex just as much as doja she’s talented
Cell phones, computers and the internet killed a lot of shows. Not to mention kids aren't as kiddie as they used to be either. Love this channel ❤️ be blessed.
@@wehere2103 she wasnt talking about just black shows! If you paid attention. She was speaking of black representation in general on TV. And she acknowledge All that as a mixed cast but the theme song, they had black artist to come perform,etc. And no they werent on at the same time but you missing the point - it was a time period from early 90' into early 2000's there was more black representation especially if you look at what we have now.
S Williams You’re right about that. I was in a thread on the Empressive channel and literally got chewed out all because I said “if I had a 8 or 9 year old daughter, I wouldn’t let her listen to Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Megan the Stallion or any of these female rappers out today”😂. Like let kids be kids and that’s what people are not understanding.
I also loved “smart guy” its was cool growing up watching tv shows with characters that weren’t always being a “black stereotype “ But just human beings with different stories.
Ya! I'm glad someone else remember Smart guy ! The show also was good at tackling serious issues like child predators and what do to when in a dangerous situation. Dark stuff for 9 year old me at the time but made me aware of suspicious adults!
Media and organizations today want us all divided. They could never make the positive black sitcoms of the 90s and 2000s for fear of jeopardizing that.
I grew up on all these shows. Ironically when they started canceling black sitcoms on kid friendly networks I was entering high school and starting watching more MTV, VH1, and BET. But I did however notice the change in kid shows. There were no longer shows with a black teen as the main character but black teens playing the “token black friend” smh.
MakeupByRee615 sams here. I was in the transition stage too. But I’m 24 now and me and my cousin still watch Kenan n Kel and the proud family like it’s the 1st time
Khaniyah Mack I’m 24 too so we definitely made the transition at the same time. And I love looking back at the older shows; the proud family is still hilarious to this day
I never realized how privileged I was to grow up in the 90s and 00s, in terms of seeing positive imagery of myself. I hope black kids nowadays can still get that from somewhere. I guess youtube? Are there wholesome, young black youtubers doing anything high quality?
CalebCity is doing his thing. His comedy might not make everyone laugh, but he definitely not hurting nobody either. Im bouta watch his skits right now.
@@ebonyh4684 just finished that one a few weeks ago! All the shows I grew up watching for the most part are on TH-cam. Many of the black shows you can find here too! I've been binge watch everything, Girlfriends, Half & Half, Sister Sister, Different World, My Brother and Me, Hanging with Mr Cooper, Smart Guy, omg I can go on forever!
@@capn_l riiiight I get upset whenever I see a post on Instagram about this show because of the cancellation. It’s like they didn’t give the show a chance. It had good ratings & viewership but they let an all white show like Amanda show to thrive(no shade to Amanda show it was great) but see how the do minorities
R.I.P. SLIVERSTONE! My older brother wanted to be him so bad!! Had the waves just like him, the mannerisms and use to record every episode. I remember the episode where he had a rap song/video and my brother went crazy! Like that shit was so cold!
The answer as to why they stopped making such material is IT"S TOO POWERFUL lol. I'm an 80's baby and grew up in the era to catch all of this goodness as well as when BET was good too. The powers that be study and research what black ppl respond to and how it affects us at depths and levels we'll never understand. So much positive imagery and reflection of self does wonders for the imagination of what one can achieve at youthful impressionable ages. I'm 33 now and I can say because I've seen this type of black entertainment while growing up I'm a formidable critic of what is advertised as black culture or propped up for us to watch on tv these days. I can't stomach housewives or love and hip hop type material because I've seen better and know there is better. They realized the fatal era to their supremacy by displaying even the smallest bit of positivity. It plants a seed that grows and produces the fruit for change and oh no, they can't have that lol.
No they don't cancel shows for stuff liek that, more likely they would just hire new actors, like with scarpy doo they removed him from the scooby doo show cause he was too independent
I agree. I just can't get into Blackish like I did My Brother and Me or Kenan and Kel. Hell, even family sitcoms like Family Matters gave more depth to the children on the show, even Little Richie.
I’m so happy to hear this commentary bc I stay thinking I’m a hater despite the positive accolades this show gets and it hurts even more cuz I love Tracy. Just felt like a fake Cosby show or maybe I just miss 90s nostalgia.
I feel like blackish is liberally biased by then again it does gives the liberal black (or at least mixed bc lets be real most of their actors are mixed) family representation. What I would like is a show about a conservative or republican black family. I feel like black republicans (as little as it seems there are) should get some representation too here in the near future.
@@318638pmful but the white executives didn't like all these minority shows getting all the spotlight, so they cancelled it and stole it's idea and rebranded it as Victorious with a mostly white cast and a token black character.
I’m not black and I absolutely loved all of these shows! Everyone enjoyed them and it’s sad that there aren’t many black led shows anymore. And they did Taina dirty... I can’t believe they cancelled it at the height of its popularity!
Best, most original content here on YT on god 💁🏽♀️🔥 “All That” intro be hitting tho🤸🏾♀️& overall bomb show. All these positive,black shows not only for black kids but black families overall. Good ole days 🏆
Canary45 wow never heard of that one. I can’t believe I missed that show. I remember Alex Mac and Who’s Afraid of the Dark, Keenan & Kel and etc but not that one.
@@stevonwhite8933 yeah but it was very white washed. Most if not all the classmembers were upper middle class LA types with no reference to their ethnic identities.
The white media regressed as well at the same time, look at all the great tv shows and cartoons that were on in the 90s/early 2000s, by late 2000s cartoon network was basically over, creativity dropped dramatically, by 2011 and mostly 2013 music of every genre went downhill dramatically, and movies became soulless and devoid of creativity, the whole entertainment industry basically lost its soul, as for the reason, its probably multiple complex reasons.
@@khmur3006 Yes exactly! I think mainstream entertainment (except independent productions) has become just a money-making machine designed to appeal to the widest range of the population. That means they play it very safe and simply revamp ideas that are proven to work. Pop culture is so boring these days. I'm glad the internet has given independent creators a platform to share their work outside of established media conglomerates :)
The song still pops into my head from time to time. I remember meeting the sister from the show at my school and most of the questions were about Goo lol.
He had a mental illlness he had been battling for years. We really need to do a better job in the black community in addressing mental health and encouraging people to get help.
Anybody remember the Disney Channel movie named “Up, Up and Away”?!!! I swear I had never seen a movie depicting a smart, black family as superheroes before then. My little 8 year old self was SHOOK
@Alex Starks I remember when the model guy from Spain didn't want to kiss one of the black contestants on the show. Also when in the beginning of the show when they were still in the process of choosing models, one of the white models wrote in her diary that she "almost had a black model as a roommate. Ewww".. One of the other models read it and told Tyra. That's two of the most sad but memorable ones I remember.
How do you feel about the reboot Raven's Home? Personally, I love the return of Raven Baxter to tv, but I also applaud Disney for showing a function "non-traditional" family
My older brother wanted to be him so bad!!! He used to record every episode and had the waves like him. That absoutely broke his heart when I told him he passed away...... R.I.P. Silverstone!!!
@@amirk7837 yes, the normal Netflix that shows mostly white shows 🙄 it literally had to take police brutality for them to add a lot of the black shows/movies they have on there now.
True Jackson ran for 3 seasons and 60 episodes. That's the standard time for Disney/Nickelodeon shows to end with exception of iCarly which ran for 6 seasons cuz if its popularity
To rush home from school have a snack and doing homework watching all these shows. They made us feel like we could be anything! Those shows gave us life! Maybe Tyler Perry got a few up his sleeve. Nobody else is pulling black shows🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️ They dont mind putting us on a "reality show " making us act an ass for a dolla tho🤔🤦🏽♀️😑
Jason Weaver said it was trendy to feature black characters back then...and they got drooped as soon as it stopped being cool. Even tho we had black shows, there weren’t enough black writers to make it authentic. I think this era (2021) is seeing a new wave of black stories being told in more authentic ways. Let’s hope it stays that way.
As a mom who grew up in the 90s I have been struggling to find black family friendly shows and family friendly shows period. I actually started playing reruns from the I watched like That’s So Raven and my kids LOVE it so much.
That's so Raven was LEGENDARY. It was definitely better than Lizzie Maguire lol. And the real tea is that everyone was preferring the black TV sitcoms over the white ones and whites behind the scenes who were running things most likely got jealous and cancelled it all.
This video brought back so many childhood memories. It’s sad that some of these shows ended up being short lived. All That and Keman & Kel were my favorite childhood shows.
@@diamndz1021 its because it feels dry like all the other modern nick shows. The laugh tracks are played after every line, and the lines themselves aren't that funny to begin with. This isn't a issue in Young Dylan solely, but in every other sitcom on the network
I just tweeted about this a while ago, about the lack of positive representation for today’s kids. You just really reminded me of how lit our TVs shows we’re back then. Sad they treated it like it was a fad to have black tv shows at that time.
I was a 90’s kid all the way and vividly remember all of these shows. ‘All That’ was truly ALL THAT! They had every popular black musical artist that was hot back then. After a while, I noticed they started to feature artist that I never heard of and the cast members changed too. Everything went downhill after the 2000’s.
The tokenism is just under the excuse of “diversity” for show runners these days. They feel they can just gather a bunch of actors, one or a third are ethic looking and go on their merry way.
I’m crying watching this. My childhood was everything. It was so amazing as a child to see ppl on tv that looked like me and my fam. All shades of brown not just light skinned ppl. I wonder if my children one day will have that blessing😔😢🙌🏾

And she acknowledge All that as a mixed cast but the theme song, they had black artist to come perform,etc. And no they werent on at the same time but you missing the point - it was a time period from early 90' into early 2000's there was more black representation especially if you look at what we have now.
S Williams
You’re right about that. I was in a thread on the Empressive channel and literally got chewed out all because I said “if I had a 8 or 9 year old daughter, I wouldn’t let her listen to Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Megan the Stallion or any of these female rappers out today”😂. Like let kids be kids and that’s what people are not understanding.
S Williams omg! Sooo true! I always say, let kids be kids!!
I also loved “smart guy” its was cool growing up watching tv shows with characters that weren’t always being a “black stereotype “ But just human beings with different stories.
💯💯💯
I loved it too
Ya! I'm glad someone else remember Smart guy ! The show also was good at tackling serious issues like child predators and what do to when in a dangerous situation. Dark stuff for 9 year old me at the time but made me aware of suspicious adults!
Kiki's Hoelivery Service not to mention racism , peer pressure ,the oldest daughter wanting plastic surgery
How we go from positive black sitcoms to Tyler Perry and love &hip hop they didn’t want black people to rise 🤦🏾♀️
I absolutely agreed!!!
Media and organizations today want us all divided. They could never make the positive black sitcoms of the 90s and 2000s for fear of jeopardizing that.
I grew up on all these shows. Ironically when they started canceling black sitcoms on kid friendly networks I was entering high school and starting watching more MTV, VH1, and BET. But I did however notice the change in kid shows. There were no longer shows with a black teen as the main character but black teens playing the “token black friend” smh.
True!
MakeupByRee615 sams here. I was in the transition stage too. But I’m 24 now and me and my cousin still watch Kenan n Kel and the proud family like it’s the 1st time
Khaniyah Mack I’m 24 too so we definitely made the transition at the same time. And I love looking back at the older shows; the proud family is still hilarious to this day
MakeupByRee615 I kno my fellow 90s babes and 2000s kid when u kno it😉🙌🏾
Me & you both. By the time I entered HIGH SCHOOL shit was dying & now I can't even with these new shows
We need more shows like everybody hates chris too
yes. everybody hates chris was a gem. one of the best sitcoms ever.
Yeah I agree don’t have great shows like that being made anymore
@@ishathompson8439 right i could really relate that show i miss it
@@kia-mariekhelawan8113 it sure was and so many black americans could relate I still watch reruns til this day
Yeah "every body hates Chris" was so underrated
That time when your favourite show's theme song was actually a jam all on it's own.
Yes!!!!!
Right
Proud family,that's so Raven,Kenan and Kel,cousin Skeeter,All that
just to name a few.They were jamming back then
Facts
The Half&Half theme song NEEDS a full version!
Remember Romeo had a successful show on Nickelodeon in the early 2000’s as well.
yeah she mentioned his show, I'm still looking for more episodes
Ayo watch it flow, its time for the Romeo show...something like that lol..yessss that was my show. So nostalgic wow
@Layered Hollister Polos romeo has acted in alot of b movies
His sister Cymphonique had a show on Nick too back in 2012, called "How to Rock". It only lasted one season.
KRSonbe I liked it😭
I didn't realize how good I had it as a child, having all this representation. And no syndication of these shows either 😭!
Man us late 80’s & early 90’s kids had the best TV experience as kids 🙌🏾❤️
#Team Mid-Gen Millennials!
Me being a 70's baby, I'd say the entire 80's had the best t.v. shows and movies of all-time.
We really did😢 #nostalgia
Yes
I never realized how privileged I was to grow up in the 90s and 00s, in terms of seeing positive imagery of myself. I hope black kids nowadays can still get that from somewhere. I guess youtube? Are there wholesome, young black youtubers doing anything high quality?
There are but they don’t get pushed or recommended like these boring ass white TH-camrs do

Yep, it was a great time.

@@BeasleySays Facts! TH-cam is my TV 🤣

I liked that show
I’ve told people for years that this show existed
I loved that show! I still know the theme song 😂
At least all the eps have been uploaded to TH-cam
Me and my brother liked it.
It always bothered me how Taina got cancelled. That was one of the best shows on Nickelodeon and had so much potential
Maybe if they let the show run naturally a bunch more people would have known about it since I just learned about it today
@@capn_l riiiight I get upset whenever I see a post on Instagram about this show because of the cancellation. It’s like they didn’t give the show a chance. It had good ratings & viewership but they let an all white show like Amanda show to thrive(no shade to Amanda show it was great) but see how the do minorities
I just watched the last ep😭 they did this show dirty by cancelling it
@@capn_l it's not just that - they hardly (if ever) ran re-runs of Taina. Hence why a lot of people don't really remember it.
@Lauri London oooooop it didn’t come out my mouth lol

HES DEAD WHY
@@sharnya8332 he committed suicide in 2013 and he was found when someone did a wellness check on him when he didn't show up to work that day
R.I.P. SLIVERSTONE! My older brother wanted to be him so bad!! Had the waves just like him, the mannerisms and use to record every episode. I remember the episode where he had a rap song/video and my brother went crazy! Like that shit was so cold!
Damn, I had no idea! Thanks for the heads up
He was suffering from a bipolar disorder
The answer as to why they stopped making such material is IT"S TOO POWERFUL lol. I'm an 80's baby and grew up in the era to catch all of this goodness as well as when BET was good too. The powers that be study and research what black ppl respond to and how it affects us at depths and levels we'll never understand. So much positive imagery and reflection of self does wonders for the imagination of what one can achieve at youthful impressionable ages. I'm 33 now and I can say because I've seen this type of black entertainment while growing up I'm a formidable critic of what is advertised as black culture or propped up for us to watch on tv these days. I can't stomach housewives or love and hip hop type material because I've seen better and know there is better. They realized the fatal era to their supremacy by displaying even the smallest bit of positivity. It plants a seed that grows and produces the fruit for change and oh no, they can't have that lol.
Not2008Me .....no. Reality tv shows are cheap to make. thats it. There is no grand conspiracy its just business.
No they don't cancel shows for stuff liek that, more likely they would just hire new actors, like with scarpy doo they removed him from the scooby doo show cause he was too independent
I remember those days. They dont like see positive black shows on tv anymore.
What about Black-ish?
@@egyptianqueen4007 that was a good show.
Egyptian Queen that’s a shit and colorist show
The last black shows I've ever watched was Black-ish and KC Undercover. Im sad. 😭
I agree. I just can't get into Blackish like I did My Brother and Me or Kenan and Kel. Hell, even family sitcoms like Family Matters gave more depth to the children on the show, even Little Richie.
PrincessofPower84 blackish is cool but it doesn’t do it for me.
@@BLACKFEMININITYTV black ish is really bad lmao
Blackish is corny and feels like white people wrote the script
I’m so happy to hear this commentary bc I stay thinking I’m a hater despite the positive accolades this show gets and it hurts even more cuz I love Tracy. Just felt like a fake Cosby show or maybe I just miss 90s nostalgia.
I feel like blackish is liberally biased by then again it does gives the liberal black (or at least mixed bc lets be real most of their actors are mixed) family representation. What I would like is a show about a conservative or republican black family. I feel like black republicans (as little as it seems there are) should get some representation too here in the near future.
You bout to make me cry fo real. Just hearing the My Brother and Me theme just broke me down. Great vid, please keep it up!
Blue Lotus seeing all these throwbacks is so emotional girllll😭🥺
Blue Lotus thought I was the only person knew about that show!
The whole season is on youtube
The theme song was so catchy!
@@queenq6080 I think every fan of my Brother and me fan feels that way lol but you'll be surprised
Victorious was just a white version of Taina.
Yo I said the same thing. That's why they cancelled it.
Taina was better than victorious.
It sure was come to think of it that's crazy

Victorious?
it was
Even in victorious Andre was so underrated.
The majority cast was POC if I do remember💯
@@stevonwhite8933 yeah but it was very white washed. Most if not all the classmembers were upper middle class LA types with no reference to their ethnic identities.
Man I used to love Taina, The Famous Jett Jackson, The Proud Family and Thats So Raven ! 😭👏🏾
I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THIS. When I was growing up, black people were the stars of almost all my favorite TV shows. How did we regress?
The white media regressed as well at the same time, look at all the great tv shows and cartoons that were on in the 90s/early 2000s, by late 2000s cartoon network was basically over, creativity dropped dramatically, by 2011 and mostly 2013 music of every genre went downhill dramatically, and movies became soulless and devoid of creativity, the whole entertainment industry basically lost its soul, as for the reason, its probably multiple complex reasons.
@@khmur3006 Yes exactly! I think mainstream entertainment (except independent productions) has become just a money-making machine designed to appeal to the widest range of the population. That means they play it very safe and simply revamp ideas that are proven to work. Pop culture is so boring these days. I'm glad the internet has given independent creators a platform to share their work outside of established media conglomerates :)
Megan Good was in a lot of 90s shows low key
Parent Good too
Yep,I saw her on episode of Moesha as well
I always wanted to be as pretty as her when I was growing up.
Kyla Pratt too, I think she was every 90s/2000s show
Nickelodeon really did the damn thang back in the day. I had a great childhood 💯
They truly did, I can't even complain about lack of representation. I mean it was there for me as a child. It was good times to be a kid
I still sing the "Goo Punch" song from My Brother and Me. It feels like it went on for more than 1 season.
🤣🤣💀
Lol, I thought I was the only one that remembered that song
Yes same!!!!
The song still pops into my head from time to time. I remember meeting the sister from the show at my school and most of the questions were about Goo lol.
Me too! 😂😂
Never knew Left Eye appeared on Cousin Skeeter. Learned something new... I need to go rewatch
I’m so heartbroken that Lee Thompson Young from Famous Jett Jackson committed suicide back in 2013. RIP. ❤️
Krysta Briley I wonder why though??
He had a mental illlness he had been battling for years. We really need to do a better job in the black community in addressing mental health and encouraging people to get help.
He was on a show when he killed himself.
The TNT cop show Rizzoli & Isles
That was so sad he was such a handsome guy,i had the biggest crush on him when i was little
Anybody remember the Disney Channel movie named “Up, Up and Away”?!!! I swear I had never seen a movie depicting a smart, black family as superheroes before then. My little 8 year old self was SHOOK
YOOOO I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT THAT MOVIE!! LOLOL I THINK HIS WEAKNESS WAS ALUMINUM FOIL OR SOME CRAP!! BWAHAHAHA
Yep the whole family had powers except for the younger son,so he pretend ed that he did
Robert Townsend always put black people in a positive light.
The All That theme song was the business
We are clearly forgetting about smart guy!!! Can we add that revolutionary show
Can you talk about “America’s next top model” problematic and colorist issues?
That would be a good video.
Talk about the cringey hair makeovers; yelling at Tiffany for props
Yessssssssssss! I don’t see how they’re colorist but yes to problematicness. Especially how they treated Yaya!
@Alex Starks I remember when the model guy from Spain didn't want to kiss one of the black contestants on the show. Also when in the beginning of the show when they were still in the process of choosing models, one of the white models wrote in her diary that she "almost had a black model as a roommate. Ewww".. One of the other models read it and told Tyra. That's two of the most sad but memorable ones I remember.
@Emani Blue genius the commenter mentioned problematic as well. So you don't think yelling at a contestant is not a problem?
I LOVED “ Thats so Raven” HER STYLE WAS AMAAZZZINNGGG!! My bf thought so too 😒😂
Dont forget Gullah Gullah Island. That was another black children's TV show that we loved.
How do you feel about the reboot Raven's Home? Personally, I love the return of Raven Baxter to tv, but I also applaud Disney for showing a function "non-traditional" family
Taina was my show. I had the soundtrack and everything
I loved the Famous Jett Jackson .

Jason Weaver said it was trendy to feature black characters back then...and they got drooped as soon as it stopped being cool. Even tho we had black shows, there weren’t enough black writers to make it authentic. I think this era (2021) is seeing a new wave of black stories being told in more authentic ways. Let’s hope it stays that way.
As a mom who grew up in the 90s I have been struggling to find black family friendly shows and family friendly shows period. I actually started playing reruns from the I watched like That’s So Raven and my kids LOVE it so much.
That's so Raven was LEGENDARY. It was definitely better than Lizzie Maguire lol. And the real tea is that everyone was preferring the black TV sitcoms over the white ones and whites behind the scenes who were running things most likely got jealous and cancelled it all.

I just tweeted about this a while ago, about the lack of positive representation for today’s kids. You just really reminded me of how lit our TVs shows we’re back then. Sad they treated it like it was a fad to have black tv shows at that time.
I was a 90’s kid all the way and vividly remember all of these shows. ‘All That’ was truly ALL THAT! They had every popular black musical artist that was hot back then. After a while, I noticed they started to feature artist that I never heard of and the cast members changed too. Everything went downhill after the 2000’s.
The tokenism is just under the excuse of “diversity” for show runners these days. They feel they can just gather a bunch of actors, one or a third are ethic looking and go on their merry way.
