25 of the Best Black Sitcoms Ever — and Where to Watch Them

Beginning in 1995, 90 episodes of The Parent 'Hood aired on The WB. The series follows an upper-middle-class African-American family living in Harlem.

Patriarch Robert Peterson (Robert Townsend) teaches at NYU while his wife, Jerri (Suzzanne Douglas), attends law school. With their busy academic careers, they struggle to balance raising their four children.

Envisioned as a parody Father Knows Best of the 1950s, the sitcom shows both the difficulty and the hilarity of raising a family.
