  • I DON'T OWN THIS SHOW. I just STARRED on it!
    Alonzo Sparks (James Avery (RIP)) is a lawyer who has a practice in Compton. His two sons Maxie and Greg join the practice. Maxie (Miguel A. Nunez Jr.) is basically an "ambulance chaser" who doesn't do things by the book. Greg (Terrance D. Howard) is the complete opposite but lacks self-confidence. Wilma Cuthbert (Robin Givens) is an attractive lawyer who joins the practice and the boys battle over her. Darice Mayberry (Kym Whitley) is Alonzo's secretary and Lamarr Hicks (Arif S. Kinchen) is the firms errand boy.
    In this Episode, Darice and Greg have a chance encounter....

    Can we have a network that plays all these throwback 80's and 90's Black Sitcoms?? The licensing for these can't be that much. I would watch these all day

      I said pretty much the same thing on another TV show board. I would love to own a network and I would play all 70s, 80s, 90s, and early 00s black sitcoms and some drama/action shows like In The Heat of the Night, New York Undercover, and etc.

    I'll say it again...SPARKS is too good a show just to be sitting in a studios vault somewhere. I'd buy every season if they'd release it on DVD. Oh, and add A DIFFERENT WORLD, a truly great and groundbreaking show that was way ahead of it's time, that's NOT out on DVD, too!
