Uncle Phil being Gina’s dad is wild 🤯 parallel universe shit!
Yup lol
Why?
Tisha!!😅
@@SeekingGreetingsShe dated Will.
Morris gets almost no acting credit but he's been acting consistently since Purple Rain and has actually starred in more than one Sitcom.
Right! I was shocked. Him and Prince had a few movies Prince came out with around and after purple rain plus more he was in. This cast was bad ass on here, and it didn't even get a full season. Smmfh
Yeah, we don't talk about Under The Cherry Moon though...LOL!!! That movie was...different...LOL!@@queencharlibee1991
@@queencharlibee1991 It didn't get a season, period. This was an unsold pilot that aired as a one-time special as a way to burn it off.
Definitely has alot of acting roles, not a great actor though
@@mikekillagreen9432 I wouldn't call him "great". But I do think he's a good character actor. Good supporting when a character is in his lane.
It's so many shows that should NOT have been cancelled!!!
I agree 🥺
If we had our own networks, it probably wouldn't have been cancelled. P.S I was born in the 90's but do enjoy shows from different times.
This isn't one of them
This show was about 8 years too early. This would have been a 90s hit.
RIP TO the legend James Avery 😢 cant believe it been 10 years he was the champ of acting and being the best TV uncle
He will always be uncle Phil to me 😢
He was shredder to a lot of us
Not even 5 minutes into this and I know they shouldn't have cancelled it.
Great Pilot. This show definitely should’ve at least got a season.
We may never have gotten James Avery as Uncle Phil if that happened.
@@scotsink3529or Tisha as Gina or her iconic guest appearance on A Different World
@@JBY1975 this was 88 one season that'd still likely happen just with another earlier credit
Can we appreciate Morris Day's performance?? Dude has comedic timing and charisma like a mug.
My man gotta be from DC
I agree, Morris Day is a wonderful actor and entertainer. ☺️👍
He needs to play Katt Williams' brother in a Friday spin-off movie
Meh.
@@namzito22….I was thinking the same Joe…
I'm finding all these tv gems.. Popcorn time... This is my era 💙💙💙
Whoever wrote for this show was very swift with everyone's punchlines. I love the writers delivery
I was today years old when I found out about this show.
Happy Birthday to you, then. 🎉😑
I've never seen this show, but I can understand why because the network kept canceling black shows after one or two seasons even if they did well.
Thanks for posting.❤
Some of these shows didn't get past one or three episodes before they were cancelled by the network because of "low ratings"
You have to have time to build an audience. Most of those networks only used black shows to build their business. Same as what Bounce is doing now.
@@localone1597bounce is owned by MLK the III former ATL mayor Andrew Young and his son Bob Hardy & Will Packard All black folk. so unless they sells it I don’t see it
Facts. Good thing, James Avery ended up doing "Fresh Prince" a year later and Tisha ended up doing "Martin" a few years later.
This was only a pilot! It never had a season.
Morris Day is a pretty good actor.
If you like flamboyant.
Smooth. Actor, singer, dancer, best dressed
Morris has always been the man!!! Give him his credit as an actor as well as his contribution to music!!!
James Avery was the best RIP
Morris is more of the main here. He was the comedy relief when he was on that hair salon show.
I remember that. I'm guessing that salon show was the end of his sitcom career, except for that one weird appearance on Moesha.
Man, morris day is a natural he would’ve been great for TV so much swag.
He looks and sounds like a 1950s pimp.
I would have loved to see this as whole series! Morris Day deserves more credit!!
That’s WILD how no one in the comments giving flowers to CLARK JOHNSON from HOMICIDE LIFE ON THE STREETS! Damn good actor as well! 💯💯💯
ALSO WHO’S THAT WHITE STANDUP COMIC WHO HAD THE FIRST LINE?
@@blazayblazay8888Barry Sobel...played Dylan on NBC's "227"...
👍🏾🎯 I'm with you on that! 💯❤️
I just realized this episode was later used for fresh prince when Ashley became a singer . This is from the same writer who created fresh prince.
Its funny because Morris Day just plays himself in everything he does. That white dude who tries to act "urban" always plays the same character too. LoL. Morris should have definitely had his own show
Uncle Phil's usual fresh prince punchline delivery. He was a very phenomenal performer. R.i.p 2him🙏🏿😇🙏🏿
Im legit mad. This was a well-written show! Ugh! Tisha went to Martin. James went to Fresh Prince. Morris went to New Attitude and Arnetia went to Nurses. ❤
It's hard to know if you lost or won with those shows you listed minus New attitude that didn't last
I see your point. It still worked out with the actors in other sitcoms you named. Mosy of em went into syndication
It is NOT!! It's the SAME corny ish!!! And Morris Day is the SAME in All roles!! 🙄
@@AnastasiaBeaverhousnthanks
I’d say based on where they all went. The term blessing in disguise could TRULY be applied here. I can’t imagine Fresh Prince or Martin being as successful without these characters. Which shows how iconic those shows really are. Which then extends to would Will Smith be what he became and all he has done. Martin same, Tisha Campbell etc. No Bad Boys, My Wife and Kids the list goes on. It’s like the premise of Its A Wonderful Life basically.
I used to love seeing Ticha Campbell on TV growing up because I knew she would get to singing. This would have been a good show.
Her vocals where ok but Pam from Martin was the true singer
I agree with you..we loved Tisha Campbell growing up..anytime we saw her we watched. From Rags to Riches and her tv movies.. Campbell is an entertainer’s entertainer she is multitalented..had to be.
@@rosered3608I remember my school took us to see “Little Shop of Horrors”
when they were touring. I knew of Tisha from “Rags to Riches” and I was excited to see the play!
I don’t even remember this sitcom, but Morris Day is hilarious😂 all you need was Jerome with the mirror and he be right there💯😂
Never saw this show wow 😮 it's a shame how they canceled blk shows after a week
Gina been playing the same role for 30 years LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tisha!!
Seen this show as a young kid & 1 day it just disappeared .....haven't seen it or heard anybody mention it glad to see it again
This was actually really good. A shame it didn’t get picked up.
I would have loved this show. The writing, the acting, and the talent. All of it was good. Even the jazz flute joint playing in the background of the apartment scene was popping. I'm glad they all went on to have successful careers
I'm waiting for Jamie's dad to channel his inner Shredder. 😂
16-cylinder cocktail lounge is hilarious🤣 The writers and actors did an excellent job.
Arnetia has had so many short lived sitcoms! This is the 3rd time I’ve seen her on this channel alone 😢
Uncle phil mannerisms were being perfected here! Morris day could have been a sitcom star given the right project.😊,
Oh this should have been a hit. Morris Day's performance alone was worth the watch.
I miss the 80s
Gratitude for sharing.
Peace to Paul Robeson.
Peace to James Avery.
Wth happened to all these shows? There were soooo many, i can't believe it. I'm gonna sit down and watch the pilots that never made it. They look like great back in the day comfort shows
My guess is too many white producers and writers. Not enough, or no, black writers and producers. And, absolutely no blacks, nowhere near the top at ANY of these networks.
I love when he do that BIRD 🐦 CALL AH HAAA 😂😂
I would watch and tape ( yes VHS) anything with Tisha Campbell in it.
Damn, I can just imagine how outstanding it would’ve been to have Tisha Campbell singing on a sitcom on the regular. Then mid season bring in Tichina Arnold as her rival and this would’ve been amazing!
Thank you for posting this. What an amazing pilot. I wish it had been picked up as a series. I really enjoyed the storyline and the acting was good!
This look like the same set when Pam was an A&R on Martin
This the side of YT that is for me 🙏🏿🙌🏿. I know the people but I dont remember this show at all but glad to have seen it.
I love Morris Day now they should have done a Morris Day tv series. He's so funny N could carry a show
7:19 that Paul Robeson part got me 😂. Ppl should look him up. Great man imo
I love Morris Day!😂😂😂😂
R.I.P. James Avery
I haven't seen this since '88 while I was in the Army. Thankx!!
Richard went on to edit The Baltimore Sun newspapers with a lot of context (The Wire Season 5).
After he was a homicide police in Baltimore lol
and he changed his name to Gus lol
Mr Avery playing another protective father.
20:01 😂😂 same thing happened on fresh prince and Ashely got to singing RESPECT 😂
Love this show already. Should not been cancelled.
Not the last time his daughter would have to sing to stop an argument and tell hi she's growing up. Lol
First things first rest in peace Uncle Phil.
...for real!
This TV show came out before the fresh prince of Belair rest in peace uncle Phil🕊🕊🙏🏾
The shows are great. The voice over commercial show reminder thingys at the end are great too. Miami Vice! Wow this takes me back.
Thanks to the uploaded for posting this. I remember this show vividly. I can’t believe i still remember some of the scenes and lines.

Ahhh quality black shows. I would have watched the heck at of this.
Forgotten gems.
And Tisha Campbell has been singing ever since, on and off screen. You can tell its really what she was meant to do.
Yes! Since childhood talent shows. I'm always rooting for her.
She can carry a tune...Now Tachina Arnold (Pam) can SANG!
She made the right choice the music side of the industry chews you up and spits you out there's a handful that have longevity in the business. She made the best choice sticking with acting as her main career choice.
OMG I FORGOT ABOUT THIS. This was Tisha's show after Rags to Riches! This was the first show I remember James Avery from (besides him guesting on AMEN but I didn't remember his name from that).
This show is good . Better than alf ,empty nest, perfect strangers , and many shows that actually had seasons .
Their audience was the majority here in America if mainstream America wouldn't watch it, it wouldn't profit them.
I think this could’ve worked better without an audience. Something like Moonlighting. But then we’d have a different Uncle Phil and Gina
I’ve never watched this show. Thank you for uploading it ❤
Why didn’t Gina push like this when Martin told her? Hahaha
This had to be before SchoolDaze and SchoolDaze came out in 88.
Thank you for sharing and now I’m subscribing. Keep’’em coming
God bless you for posting this.
How did I miss this one? I remember Morris in New Attitude, but don’t remember this at all!
Wow...I totally forgot about this show...I used to sing her part all the time when I was little.
This takes back, wow!! Great times!! I was 9
227 had a lot of spin offs that didn’t take off 😂😂😂😂
Remember the one they tried to jam in with the Puerto Rican family? That was so weird. It never made it past the episode tie-in, so no pilot happened as far as I know. But it would've stunk.
This wasn't spinoff of 227
@@TheChallenger1000That concept was garbage.
@@TF-gf3fs Facts. I don't know what they were thinking. I don't think they did either, lol.
Great and fun show. Great actors!!! ❤❤❤
This show was really funny and had good energy mostly because of Morris. I wish he had acted more
Ticha Campbell is sooo talented. Where did she lose me in the media ???
Morris Day is the man.❤️👍👍👍
Thank you for uploading this.
Wow this was amazing
Clark Johnson 😍😭
This was a pilot (1st episode) that didn't get picked up. Hundreds are shot yearly during pilot season but few are chosen. These pilots helped to pay actors and crews bills. NO PILOTS WERE FILMED IN 2024.
I remember this one!
Not the teacher from 227 😭 and gina??? never heard of this hidden gem
Great show
I wish I knew about this show. IT a major hit
I love that beat
The hairstyles SCREAM 1988 😂
I remember this so brief
James Avery is amazing! This is all✌️
Tisha was a kid only 20 years old youth
Already a veteran in the business,by the time she acted in this network sitcom pilot.just coming off from rags to riches an NBC musical dramedy, which aired on early Sunday evenings.
@josephcalderon906 Woman did all that at 20 years old I think she did a movie as a teenager, she has been acting pretty much all her life she started doing plays at 9 years old, she been acting in Hollywood almost her whole lifetime
@josephcalderon906 I know she done alot in her lifetime to be only 55 years old wow I remember when she was not even 30 years old when she was on martin
@@entertainingblackmanvideos7691 Yes she has, especially for her generation of actresses.
@@josephcalderon906 Maybe her being light skinned woman who is attractive gave her advantage in life then women with darker skin then her, but Tisha also has a outgoing personality she did Broadway plays since her childhood she seems to be a extrovert I heard extroverts usually successful in everything they do in life.
this was a better show than it became imo
This must have been on the air and off after an episode or 2 cause. I definitely missed it. Morris Day had a t v pilot. I think this is NBC
How was this not picked up?
The cool Morris Day!!
I never heard of this..wow
I was 7 years old this year and growing up in New Orleans,why i dont remember this?
#504standup 💪🏿
Oh sheeeeeeiiiiiitttttt I forgot all about this
Crazy thing is is if this show takes off… theirs a whole different Uncle Phil 😮
Tisha Campbell ❤❤❤
Wow i don't Remember this show
WOW!
