Is the fifth season the kiss of death for black sitcoms?

[boriquaking]

Aren't their seasons real short?

Now yes, not sure if thats covid related. But earlier seasons were 12-15 episodes. I mean they’ve still kinda overstayed their welcome

It was perfect

Rarely any seasons of a show are perfect. And season 5 is definitely not better than season 1, 2, or 3 of Insecure.

No where close.

Alfonso Ribeiro: 'LL Cool J and I fell out on miserable sitcom'

Basically, LL wasn't focused on working hard as an actor because music was more of a priority for him. Alfonso didn't like that because on Fresh Prince, everybody took their jobs seriously and wanted to make each episode the best. He only agreed to do the last season if he could film scenes without LL.

Carlton, got Will Smith’ed again for another sitcom.

Wasn’t this around 98-2000? If so, I could understand a bit on why LL was unfocused. He was involved with Halloween H2O, Deep Blue Sea, In 2 Deep, working on the GOAT album.

shyt, I remember it was nearing the end, but I didn’t know there was a season without Kim Wayans and Mia Campbell

The last season of MWAK Jr was basically functionally retarded.

 

[MustafaSTL]

Last actual episode they were on camera together was the one where martin gave the lil boy the jordans, which wasa real good episode.

The very next episode, was the court episode where gina was tryna get pregnant.

All downhill from there

bytch ruined the GOAT sitcom.

Season 5 of In Living Color was

as well

I remember watching them live and being disappointed. All the Wayans were gone. It wasn’t close to the same show.

Wayans Bros didn't get a proper finale They had some great episodes in the last season

Wayans is one that didn’t even fall off. They just never got the proper send off. That 5th season was one of their best. I felt like the show got better and better, with the first season being the worst by far.

I forgot Kim and Maia left the show too. With In The House coming back in syndication on HBO Max, I really forgot how much movement that show had. Debbie Allen and that little nikka leaving was cool, but the show basically flipped from what it was. It was basically LL’s star power that kept anyone tuned it.

I’m in the middle of a mini binge now and season 5 is still super strong. They already have two classics (Marlon was dating a hoe and Shawn/Dee “smashing”) and I’m only a few episodes in.

Yep, plenty of gems in season 5. Roy Jones episode is a great one too. I watch it a lot along with my Martin/Fresh Prince/Jamie Foxx binges.

[CodeBlaMeVi]

Season 5 was not as good as the others, and I'm not the only one who has said this.

My wife wasn’t digging it either.

She had a hand in it, but didn’t Martin had a lot of going on his personal life as well?
