Dee and Frank trying to have a kid.


I'm watching the old episodes of Moesha and they should've never dropped the Dee and Frank trying to have a kid. Instead of adding Dorian, I would've liked to have seen how Dee would be like with a biological kid of her own and Miles adjusting to being a big brother. I think this story would've been more beneficial instead of going the illegitimate kid route with Frank.

I know right they had about 3 episodes of Frank and Dee trying to concieve and I was hoping by the 4th season Dee would say I'm pregnant. It would have been great to see Miles have a brother or sister. I didn't like Dorian at all

I think everyone hated Dorian lol we all know he only was added to the show because of who his sister is.

I feel a little indifferent about adding a baby to the show since sometimes adding a baby is pretty much jumping the shark in some sitcoms but then again they did no favors by adding Dorian.

I agree. I think either way the show would have jumped the shark. Adding a baby wouldn't have made the show any more interesting, which is why most shows shy away from adding babies to show. And even when they do, they age them up really fast. One episode we have a newborn, the next episode the kid is 5 or 6. They really didn't do any favors by adding Dorian. The least they could have done is kept him as the cousin instead of going the route of making him Frank's secret love child.
