    A great show
    This TV shwo is charming and very funny! Be sure to watch this every Tuesday at 7 on NBC.

    Whoopi plays Mavis, a singer who retires after she made it big for a while. She then decided to re-open her hotels lounge. Whoopi's Persian/ Arabian friends is very funny and Rita, her daughter, is hilarious. She is white and she tries to act black. A great show!

    Im very surprised that this is TV-14. This should be TV-PG DL.

    FAQ1

    • Why has this never been released on DVD? I know it was just one season (bad call), but I still want it. Loved the show.
