Trivia:

After the third season, the show was picked up by The CW because UPN merged with The WB to form The CW. The show was originally canceled back in March along with fellow UPN show Eve, but thanks to the show's executive producer Will Smith and actor Tony Rock's brother, Chris Rock, was given the coveted slot behind Everybody Hates Chris on the new network.

Quotes:

Robert James Sr.: [after Tia dreams she and Neesee are getting married, Robert discovers her packed bags at the door] Tia, why...why are you getting so worked up over a dream?
Tia Jewel: Because it's not a dream, it's reality. I marry you, I marry Neesee. I guess that makes sense because it feels like I've been dating her for the past year and a half. I go to school, she's there. I come home, she's here. I go to your office, she's there. And now, we go to sleep, and boom, there she is, right in our bed.
Robert James Sr.: Tia, I don't enjoy having Neesee around all the time. But she and I have a son together.

Old Plot, Decent Laughs

Unfortunately, the situation that Dwayne Martin's character is in--dealing with his soon-to-be ex-wife with whom he has a child, and keeping up a relationship with his new love--is too commonplace these days. The catty exchanges between Elise Neal ("The Hughleys") and Lisa Raye ("The Players Club") are amusing, and they feel very true to life. However, for this show to survive, it has to rely on other plot devices other than the two women sniping at each other every week. The little boy who plays Martin and Raye's son is very cute; hopefully, a good portion of the episodes will also deal with the son's adjustment to his parents' broken relationship.
