Sinbad: It’s Just Family

Sinbad: It’s Just Family

Sinbad: It’s Just Family, just ended it inaugural season: a full six episodes. A reality show, which follows him and his family around. Most of the content was boring; each episode had about five minutes of hilarity.

He is trying to be the next ‘Cliff Huxtable’.  I suppose it makes a little sense, considering the TV shows he has done.

A Different World (1987-93) (Spinoff of The Cosby Show)

Walter Oakes: graduate student, football/baseball/basketball/track coach, dorm director of all-male residence hall, involved in serious relationship with Jaleesa, co-dorm director of Gilbert Hall, engaged to Jaleesa, couple halts wedding at the altar and mutually separates, moves to Philadelphia to manage community center.

Cosby (1996-2000)

Del: single father of an 11-year-old girl. Not much else to the character. He found it challenging, raising a kid on his own.

(3 episodes, 1998-1999) (Taken From Personal Recollection)

So here you are. I give you my masterpiece:
