A decent Black youth coming- of age show. Real topics are approached in a realistic way for the most part, aside from once in awhile where the humor may be tacky. Also, as someone raised by a Jamaican family, Dee ( the stepmom)'s fake forced Jamaican accent is just painful.
I think Moesha was a very good and educational program. I think that the show dealt with many issues of the world today including relationships, drugs,violence,school etc. I enjoy every episode especially the ones where Moesha and Hakeem finally hooked up. I thought the show got better with each season. I like the cast and each one has a good acting resume. I also liked the fact that Brandy starred in a show in which it dealt with things and issues that she was probably already going through. I watched the show when it first came on until the day it was cancelled. I enjoyed every episode and i think it should be released on DVD for all the moesha fans out there.
I am proud to say that I was a teenager in the late 90's and that I was a true product of a 90's teenager. In the 90's, we had a fair share of shows that focused on the lives of typical teenagers. We had the "Fresh Prince," "My So Called Life" and even to a lesser extent, "Blossom." There was a little show that debuted in January 1996 on UPN called "Moesha," featuring then a teenage singing sensation known to the world as Brandy. Who would know that this show would strike a chord with audiences and also become one of UPN's longest running series.
I would like to say that I thought "Moesha" was a very good show and it proves Brandy's strengths as an television actress. The characters were lovable, funny and charming but as with every sitcom this show wasn't without it's flaws. I felt at certain points this show kinda took itself to seriously by having too many dramatic episodes/moments. It seems as if every episode(especially during the first and last seasons) tried to take itself way too serious as it shouldn't have(especially in the first season with the ongoing subplot of Moesha not fully getting along with Dee). Well hey I guess this is what made "Moesha" work. Well the show was good while it lasted and I still catch it in reruns. Again, it's a pretty good show that is worthy to view at least once.

This was a great show if you get a chance to watch it do I first saw it because I was board instantly I loved it the show a great cast a great theme song it handled some tough issues as well. The "Parkers" (a spin off series) is kind of flat and over done but make sure to tune in
I gotta give it to The WB and UPN. They aired quite a few Black-American shows that would otherwise not have seen the light of day. There was "The Wayans Bros.," "In the House," "Parent 'Hood," "Malcolm & Eddie," "The Jamie Foxx Show," "The Steve Harvey Show," "Sister, Sister," and others. Among them was "Moesha" starring the singer Brandy.
"Moesha" was right in my wheelhouse as a show. To me it was like the African-American answer to "Blossom." Brandy was a hip, stylish teen dealing with teen things; plus Brandy was huge at that time. She was putting out hits, so who wouldn't want to see her on screen--and she wasn't bad as an actress.
