Love to see this sub growing, even with the introduction of a "rival" WB sub (though siblings sub is more accurate). Just shows that this little network still has plenty of fans from back in the day!
Thanks for stopping by, and keep watching the frog!
The Steve Harvey Show ended after six successful seasons—not because of low ratings, but because Steve Harvey himself decided to move on and pursue other opportunities.
Interestingly, The WB Television Network was reportedly interested in continuing the series, but Harvey chose to wrap things up while the show was still going strong.
So, up until about the fall of 1998, Wednesday nights seemed to be a popular destination for The WB's comedy programming. However, as its reliance on scripted dramas grew, it became another night for those shows. Which did you prefer?
George Wendt was initially cast as Steve’s best friend on The Steve Harvey Show. However, Steve Harvey strongly pushed for Cedric the Entertainer to take the role instead. At the time, The WB Television Network was hesitant, since Cedric wasn’t widely known and wasn’t on their radar. They also felt his audition was bad.
Harvey made it clear he was prepared to walk away from the sitcom if Cedric wasn’t cast as his co-star, a move that reportedly frustrated the network. Eventually, The WB agreed to try Cedric for the first 6 episodes of The Show.
I came across Black Sash and honestly I don’t even remember this show like that. But the moment I saw Ray J was in it, I just started laughing because I swear every time I see him pop up in a show, it gets canceled 😭
From what I saw, it was about a martial arts instructor mentoring teens and trying to keep them on the right path. It had that early 2000s vibe, but it didn’t last long at all.
I don’t know, maybe it deserved more time, but that Ray J track record had me side eyeing it lol.
Did anyone actually watch this when it aired?
