Nice to know I'm not the only one who liked this show, or even remembers that it was on the air! I always wondered why it went off the air on NBC, especially since one of my faves, the charismatic Debbie Allen, was starring on it. For some reason, it rarely gets mentioned when it comes to popular '90s shows, even though it was a hit on UPN for nearly 3 years, I think. I actually found Kim Wayans hilarious on this show---she gradually developed as a main character with LL Cool J (who was also funny in what was his first time headlining/starring in a TV show, and proving that he could act,too. He was still a hugely popular rapper back then) and even stole the scenes in some episodes. She had me cracking up with her antics half the time (like the one when her character makes a big deal about taking off her earrings while threatening to whip someone's a**.) I was actually kind of surprised that she didn't go straight into another good show after IN THE HOUSE ended, but that's how that worked out, apparently. One of the more memorable episodes was when the some of the original STAR TREK cast,including George Takai, did some guest spots on the show for a dream sequence---that was really funny and weird, too.
