    • Alternate versions
      On the U.S. cable network BET, reruns of this show (since September 2008) end without the Walt Disney Television logo, but with those of De Passe Productions and Danny Kallis Productions. As such, the only mention of Disney's involvement lies in the copyright notice.

    A great show for it's time.
    Watched all the episodes on Disney + it was great to watch and check out again. (spoiler)

    However the last episode you can tell they wanted to have more of a mature storyline with all the characters.

    Abruptly, the show stopped. I went back into my Disney + to see if maybe the streaming just needed me to continue watching and I didn't realize I had watched the last episode of the series.

    Kind of sad how it ended but, all n' all a great show for it's time.
