These are possibly what I would call my comfort shows. I can put these on and laugh or cry as if it’s my first time seeing them!

Black classics. Some of these are shows our parents watched & now we’ve turned into our parents lol
This list is in no specific order but Martin is definitely top 3!! If you aren’t laughing at one of the many characters and their shenanigans then I’m judging you and we can’t be friends 😂 Martin and Pam’s arguments are gold. TV shows don’t hit like...
Martin (TV Series 1992–1997)
Bernie Mac has no business being dead!! 😭 His humor DEFINITELY wouldn’t fly in today’s world 😂😂 Uncle Bernie loved those kids even though they gave him a run for his money.
The Bernie Mac Show (TV Series 2001–2023)
Michael Kyle was a mess! I love how in old sitcoms you can see the actors laughing at themselves 😂 that’s how you know it’s funny. Also, you can’t tell me that the actor who played Junior doesn’t act that way in real life! IYKYK. Good TV!
My Wife and Kids (TV Series 2000–2005)
This mother daughter duo faced everything together when they started going to college together. Nikki’s (the mother, Mo’Nique) crush on Professor Oglevee was embarrassing most times but it gave us some good laughs. And Kim 🤦🏾♀️ similar to Junior o...
The Parkers (TV Series 1999–2023)

A lot of drama balanced with comedy. These shows featured a lot of real life scenarios.
I feel like this is something that should be watched by women every so often! Issa Rae produced a show that showcases real life for black women. She showed the ups and downs career wise, relationship wise, and just in life in general. There’s so many...
Insecure (TV Series 2016–2021)
This show takes me through all the emotions!! The beginning seasons were SO good! Med School and Derwin “Ding Dong” Davis made for good tv. I’ll never forgive Derwin for having that baby on Mel or Mel for swabbing the baby 😭 their breakup(s) hurt me...
The Game (TV Series 2006–2015)
Baby the original (not the reboot) was so good! Curtis Payne was nothing to play with 🤣 and I’m sorry, but Janine did her best acting when she was strung out! Tyler Perry really drew us in & made us love this family. There’s some scenes in here ...
Tyler Perry's House Of Payne - TV Series - BET
Crime
Basically the only crime show I can watch 😂 not too gruesome or nasty!
Okay so I’ve never gotten caught up with this one BUT there was a time in college I was locked in! I watched the first like 6 seasons all the way through. Now, I watch episodes here and there but I prefer the older seasons not any of this new stuff! ...
