Reception

The series was panned by critics. Fredrick L. McKissack, Jr. of The Progressive, in an article on Black-focused television in the 1990s, described the show as "Star Trek meets Amos 'n' Andy."[22] Keith Marder of the Daily News criticized the show for "predictable" jokes and sexual humor, rating it a "C−".[23]
