I've been wanting to see this show again for soooo long. It was one of my favorites before they cancelled it. I'm happy TVOne is showing the old episodes now.

Yea, me too, i've never heard of this show before ( I was born in the 90's) and I love it already. It airs on TV One at 3:30 PM. Could someone please give me a breif description of the story, i'm a little confused.

In the beginning of each episode they give a run down of the story, but here it is, basically, all of them are brothers and sisters and their parents died, so the oldest brother decided to raise them. The social worker wanted to split them up I guess because they felt that they needed more care by someone older. Thats when the oldest brother came up with "mama j", he dresses as her around important people when it involves the children, to make it seem like they have a new capable older guardian. The social worker found out, but had a heart and decided not to tell, and she actually helps out some, but her boss is still on the case, so he cant stop dressing as mama j around certain ppl or it'll blow their cover.

me too. Damn you people who can watch it. We dont get that station here. This is the show based in st. louis right? I remember loving it when it was originally on and really bummed when they canceled it.

Did TVOne take it off? It used to come on here at 3:30pm, now instead 'in the house' comes on :(

It still comes on @ 3:30 pm (the last time I checked) although some/certain days "In The House" is on in its place. You just gotta catch it whenever you see it.
