Kevin Hill

This show can be taken seriously with people and topics that you can relate too. BRAVO to the creator and thank you for something that I can actually look forward to watching. The characters are believable and at first I thought it wouldn't work with Taye Diggs, but he has found his niche role. Keep up the good work and I really look forward to future story lines. It's a nice cross between The Practice and Ally McBeal, but not as ridiculous as McBeal, this is more on the serious side with acting and story line you can appreciate. Also, the characters are not predictable roles either. A successful black man with a gay white nannie (BRAVO). Thank you again for something different.

Someone wrote that the idea for "Kevin Hill" came from the movie "Baby Boom" with Diane Keaton.

This is true. To add to this, this idea was done on another TV series..."Family Affair" with Brian Keith. Remember that premise: a successful professional with a carefree bachelor life (with his butler French, of course), has his life changed forever when his long lost brother's three children arrive at his doorstep...orphaned when his brother dies in an accident.

"Kevin Hill", obviously, is not new. However, it will be interesting to see Taye Diggs, and how he handles this role, if the network will just give it a chance.

...or is this show more than a bit like the movie "Baby Boom" with Diane Keaton?

Highly successful person with no obvious intentions of taking time for a marriage and family has a relative pass away and leaves the successful person their child.

Successful person has to leave incredibly demanding job because of the demands of the child but finds equally fulfilling work doing something else somewhere else.

Personally, I'm hoping the show will be a success. I loved "Baby Boom", I thoroughly enjoy Taye Diggs in whatever he's doing (he's talented and he's eye candy - what more can a woman ask for?) and I'm tired of there only being comedies with black actors and actresses in the starring role.

Sorry all you Kevin Hill fans, but this has got to be the lamest ripoff of an old TV-show ("Family Affairs") I have seen. Plastic people in a plastic box just doesn't do it, if you know what I mean. The character Kevin Hill is much too two-dimensional to create any passions one way or the other, and the entire cast seems to be a bit lost through each and every episode. There are lots of admiring ladies (becomes boring when repeated)and Kevins' confused male friends are completely in the woods and clueless. "Kevin Hill" is also a success in the category of "The Most Boring Score Ever Composed for a TV-Show". Why is it that the writers of these quasi-modern TV-shows assume that the public is interested of mediocrity?

In response to Sookie55's comment on the casting change for the baby, the reasons have nothing to do with the colour of the baby's skin. First of all, the pilot was shot over 6 months ago. So even though the first two episodes are one week apart, the baby would be 16 months old, instead of 10. There is a big difference between a 10 and 16 month old baby. Second of all, the change may also have had to do with money. Since the pilot was shot to see if the show would be picked up, the cast could re-negotiate their fees when it was. Some changes were made, example: Kevin Hill's 2nd friend in the first episode no longer exists. Since I live in Canada, I'll have to wait for CTV to pick it up, however the first two episodes which a friend taped for me were excellent. I'm looking forward to the rest.
