The Steve Harvey Show

Even though Katt Williams recently threw all kinds of dirt on Steve Harvey on Club Shay Shay, I'm not going to let that influence my opinion of "The Steve Harvey Show." I thought the show was funny. It was an excellent vessel for Steve Harvey to show off his comedic talents much like "Family Feud" is an excellent vessel for him now.

In the show he plays Steve Hightower, a music teacher at a school in Chicago. He works under a principal whom he would love to be romantic with named Regina (Wendy Raquel Robinson) and has Cedric (Cedric The Entertainer) as a roommate.

It was funny times at Booker T. Washington school especially with students like Romeo Santana (Merlin Santana), Stanley 'Bullethead' Kuznocki (William Lee Scott), and Lydia Liza Gutman (Lori Beth Denberg). And let me not forget Cedric's ghetto girlfriend, Lovita Alizay Jenkins (Terri J. Vaughn)--Oh she was so funny. Just her name alone screams "GHETTO!"

This show is up their with Frasier and 3rd rock from the sun imo some of the best sitcoms of the 90's it's just hilarious and well acted. I'm not a Steve Harvey fan but he's a delight in this dry and bitter washed up 70's funk musician who becomes a high school music teacher Steve "Big Daddy" Hightower. A wonderful cast of characters/actors Regina, Levita, Cedric and the Boyz Bullethead & Romeo just make it just work every episode pure chemistry like all the best sitcoms especially from season 2 onwards were the show hits it's groove. You can tell the show was made on a shoestring budget compared to other sitcoms of the time but they definitely managed to make some excellent comedy.

Man, the SHS is up there with Seinfeld and all those other classic sitcoms, I watch the show twice a day and never get sick of it, just like Seinfeld. If you love to laugh, watch the show. Steve Harvey is funny as hell, although in most cases he's somewhat like the voice of reason, when he lies to women and gets caught up (like when he pretended to be blind) it's the best. Regina is funny because although she's a professional every now and then she gets a little childish. Lovita is just like a straight hood rat, but she still has class. The funniest stuff is when she says "YOU KNOW I'M CRAZY, RIGHT?". Has me dying. Cedric is the funniest one on there. "You can't go ________ all WILLY NILLY!". All this and I haven't even mentioned the students. Bullethead and Romeo, along sometimes with Lydia or Coretta are all hilarious. Great show.

I never caught the show at the beginning, but I saw every rerun of the Steve Harvey show at least twice. After seeing only a few episodes one could hardly help but feel like "family" with the cast. Each episode was well put together, with Steve, Cedric, Regina and the crew interacting with each other as if the show was "live". It was really a fantastic show, and if somehow another season could be added, it would be a hit! Steve has gone ahead with other shows, such as his variety show, but his talent for acting should bring back another comedy series, preferably with some of his former cohorts, i.e. Cedric and Regina.

Ended up adoring this show! Why isnt the dvd available with all seasons and episides? Anyway....talented cast and writers. Still love to watch present day
