The comedy tends to be awfully broad, but The Parkers has its pluses. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 06/04/2019
3/5
The show's purpose is simply to be entertaining; as a result, it's a mix of silly humor, life lessons, and contradictory messages. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

TJ L. @Paco5150 Mar 4 i like this Show because it started off as a Unique Spin-off of Moesha, BUT i have to Say i Honestly like Moesha ALOT Better then The Parkers . . . Because Moesha was Way More Realistic. i absolutely Hated the Way they Kept the Storyline where Nikki Parker was Obsessed with Professor Ogalvee going throughout the Whole Series throughout All 5 Seasons of it, i thought they was gonna Drop it in the Second Season like Moesha did with Kim being Obsessed with Hakeem on the Moesha Show because it was Similar to it but Not to the Extreme like Nikki's Obsession with Professor Ogalvee was. But they didn't and that Whole Situation Made Nikki Parker look "BAD, Creepy, Very insecure and Desperate" all in 1. Nikki's Obsession with Professor Ogalvee was Funny in the First Season but it became Alot Less Funny in Second Season, by the Third Season it was No Longer Funny at all and by the Forth Season it became Flat Out Annoying. The Final Episode of the Fifth Season with Nikki and Professor Ogalvee getting Married didn't Make any Sense at all and it was the Wrong Way to End the Show. See more Read all reviews
