The Hughleys

There's not much difference between "The Hughleys" and most other sitcoms that have a family at its center. In fact, this shows borrows heavily from the plot of "The Jefferson" in that Darryl's character is a guy from the inner city who built up a successful company for himself, and his wife Yvonne, who knows how to keep her husband in check when needed. They even have white neighbors, with whom Darryl can verbally spar with.

D.L. Hughley is extremely funny when he's doing standup comedy as proven when he was the host of BET's "Comic View" and most recently, in "The Original Kings of Comedy". This show was moved from ABC to UPN, allegedly because Hughley wanted more creative control, but the situation comedy format doesn't allow him to cut loose like he can onstage.

It can be difficult to live in a neighborhood where the majority population is of a different race for a number of reasons, not because of race per se, but rather because of the social, cultural, and historical aspects that frequently accompany it. For instance, there may be significant differences in food, holidays, and religious customs, which could cause misunderstandings or feelings of solitude. Because of your race or background, people may stare at you, avoid conversation, or even assume certain things about you. Some people are just racial bias. Darryl and Dave rose above all of it, demonstrating what good neighbors and friendship are all about. They faced difficulties, but they were always able to overcome them. Milsap was my personal favorite character. He was humorous honest and loyal, and he helped strengthen the connection between the two families.

I don't know how some people can say on here that this was a bad show. I love this show!!! I think it has a great dialogue and DL Hughley is so funny!! I'm mad I didn't know about the show when it was still playing because now I can only watch the re-runs. But I really like the show!!

I think it's a great show! Really funny, I just keep laughing. I don't know why it's not very popular; I like the jokes...The only people in the show who aren't funny are the friends of the Hughleys (Dave & Sara, I think their names are. Those people are so uninteresting that I don't even know their names!). Milsap is pretty good, but Darryl is the funniest. I think it's a nice change from the usual 'American Family' sitcom (I guess because it's probably the only sitcom other than "My Wife & Kids" and "Bernie Mac" that is about an African-American family). I think it's hilarious, and enjoy seeing the reruns (I never even heard of the show while it was actually running).

Its a sitcom with another sofa and a token fam..

It was a lame show. It lacked personality, dynamics and entertainment value.

It's a standard show with nothing to offer. There is nothing to laugh about.
