A good show that never had the chance

I really liked this show. Its too bad it didn't last long enough for people to find it. It was written good and delt with real life situations in a way that had never been done before. The only show that came close to it was Roc. The only difference was that Roc leaned a little bit more towards comedy then this show. I think that it was before its time and that people didn't know how to handle it directorial style. Watching the show was like watching the movie in many ways. I think that at the time the show was running that viewers were programmed to watching comedies on TV. It probably would do better now then before.

Another Excellent Show Bites The Dust!

I remember this show, and how different it was from any other show before and after it's time. It was funny, but had a dramatic edge to it which made it real and believable. The actors were excellent and the storylines were compelling, but at the same time some humour would be thrown in, which set this show apart from the rest. This was another Fox Network show that I was really sorry to see cancelled. Fox Network seemed to be willing to try new and different things in the late '80s, early '90s, but as the cancellation proved for this show, they just became another "homogenized" network in a TV world filled with mediocrity.

I used to watch this show back in the day. Miss it.

A true gem of a show

Because of Hollywood's apparent unwillingness to give quality shows with predominantly African-American casts a chance, I have developed a habit of videotaping every episode of a new Black show, if it seems that show will be decent. It's a very good thing that I did this with "South Central", for this was an excellent show that many people did not give a chance. Modern-day heartthrob Larenz Tate shined here in a difficult role, and comes across as a serious actor. If you can ever get a chance to see it, do so.

A great show that was never given a chance...

This show was one of the great moments of TV, when a show went beyond the obvious and focused on the goal of curing problems instead of causing them. It did for TV what the movie "Boyz in the Hood" did for film... it showed the world that everything isn't perfect everywhere. What it also did, though, was show that environment didn't produce animals, but people with purpose and morals. Larenz Tate did his thing, and ever since shows like this one and "Roc" went off the air, it has been downhill for black television.
