Trivia
Mari Morrow, who plays Nikki's best friend Desiree, disappears midway through the first season. Producers felt the chemistry would be better if a heavier actress portrayed her best friend. Yvette Wilson later replaced her.

Goofs
In reality, there is no way Kim, Nikki, Stevie, and T could have been students at Santa Monica College for five years. Santa Monica is only a two year community college.

Quotes
Nicole 'Nikki' Parker: [while directing a church choir] Kim is our soloist. Now go on, baby. Sing mama's favorite song.
Kimberly 'Kim' Parker: [singing] Shake your booty all night!
Nicole 'Nikki' Parker: No! Not that one!

Funny Sitcom!

I always get a kick out of watching this show. Even though it's not a groundbreaking program, it is very funny. Mo'Nique makes this show! She always spoke her mind, and wouldn't take any bad stuff from anyone, with the exception of "The Professor" or "Boo". Everyone on this show seemed to have a connection with one another, which came across on the screen. This show wasn't broadcast to make a statement, it was just an entertaining half-hour, which is a rarity nowadays. Like all good things, they must come to an end. I am sad to see this show go off the air, but it's had a good run. One thing is for sure, it was a 100% better than any of the sitcoms that are on the 4 major networks. I hope to see Mo'Nique in other future TV shows and movies, I always get a kick out of her humour! I hope this show becomes available on DVD!
