EVEN I think I'm a loser.
I liked the show Moesha a lot when it was on. I miss shows like that now, with all the profanity and vulgarity used in entertainment today. I think that the show had a definite element of reality to it. Brandy wasn't afraid to play a character that DID'NT always do what was right and was not always the most likeable person. But isn't that like real life??? Everyone makes mistakes and acts like a jerk sometimes. Like when many of the people who posted before me said that they would have been so thankful for getting a Saturn or any car and would have reacted PERFECTLY. That, in my opinion, is not ALWAYS the case. For instance, if someone was financially struggling they may act accordingly but others who may have some money (but not rich) might not act as perfect as they think they would. Many people have had times when they were ungrateful for things that they should have been grateful for,and that doesn't make them a terrible person but it may mean they need to mature a little more or change their attitude. Its funny how people can be so critical of others, when they have done some of the same things. I think it is really awesome that Brandy and the cast portrayed teen (and a lot of times adult) issues with out always making an IMMEDIATE happy ending. Its a shame that so many don't seem to appreciate it...
i loved moesha, there were real situations and real consequences. i didn like the whole dorian scenario, but things like that happen all the time. i wish there would have been a clear ending.
DAY ONE! The dumbest show in the history of TV. This show set back the evolution of man 1000 years. The plague was funnier! Its a good thing this girl could sing. Peace, im otta here!
i use to watch moesha religiously, i liked the show but i liked Brandy as a singer and that was what made me watch it. people must remember to separate the character from the actor.

the purpose of the show was to going in to the life of a teenager who had faults and made mistakes like other teenagers, moesha was meant to be a snob, but she always realized in the end that she was wrong.

also, i hated it when the show went in an entirely different direction, when frank suddenly had another son and was unfaithful to his former wife. frank's character was not in the beginning like that. in many ways i think brandy was tired of doing the show but she pushed on....but wrote some terrible story lines so that it would get canceled.

either way i love brandy, and all the cast members. it was a good show, the problem is people look up to the cosby show as being representative of black people, but the ebonic names and the vernacular along with different characters accurately represented the diversity of people, in regards to not race but individuality.
What i meant to say is you saw her true colors jealousy and pettines.And you ever notice if Moesha didn't get her way she became a pain in the ass to everybody.One more thing did you notice in the first season she always overacted and laugh at things that were never funny.
Everybody must have forgoten one of Moesha most annoying habits she was to damn nosey case in point:1.Hakeem's cousin Omar (who was gay) that was just wrong the way she made feel guilty about coming out the closet by reading a poem and then he tells Hakeem amd then you never heard about him again.2.Her roommate that was overweight the way she sets her up on a pity date to later later discovers the guy actually liked her for who she was and Moesha was shocked that a handsome guy would liked a overweight girl.And she was also like that way with Kim remember when Kim became a cheerleader and you saw we saw her colors jealousy pettiness all because she wasn't picked for something for the first time in her life and was it me or did she do the most self absorbed cheers that you have ever heared And finaly how did Moesha become validictorian if you remember that homeless kid was the validictorian first. I guess they thought no one would notice that.
P.S. I almost forgot to add this: there was no reason WHATSOEVER to put Hakeem and Moesha together as a couple. That was painful to watch and the actors looked like they were forcing their scenes to look believable.

And furthermore, that twist where Hakeem and Niecey kissed was foolishness and seemed forced too.
It was annoying that the show ended right in the middle of a cliffhanger. But way before that, I didn't like the fact that Moesha tended to be extremely disrespectful CONSTANTLY to her father. Sure, he was no walk-in-the-park but as a parent, he deserved some level of respect.

She was too cantankerous as a child. She needed to be one of the kids on the Bernie Mac Show; he'd have got that attitude in check! Lol.

Oh yeah, and also, I'll be honest: I didn't care for Moesha but I did like most of the other cast. That's the case of a lot of sitcoms (black and white) where the main character isn't all that entertaining to me but I like the rest of the cast.
do you have a cousin named drionna nypri norwood and her mom's name is wendy norwood. if you do i'm her best friend and she live across the srteet from me. and i just want to say i'm a big fan of your's i wish i could meet you some day!!!!!!!

your best friend ever sakyra symone caine
FIRST OF ALL THESE COMMENTS ARE STUPID!! PLEASE MOESHA WAS A VERY GOOD SHOW OKAY!! THEY REPRESENTED BLACK PEOPLE WELL JUST LIKE THE COBSY SHOW. WOULD YOU CALL THAT SHOW STUPID! AND WHO IS A MEDIOCRE SINGER DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY HITS AND GRAMMY'S THAT GIRLS HAS!! YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY THAT A BLACK FEMALE IS MAKING HER WAY THROUGH WHITE HOLLYWOOD AND STILL ACTING BLACK!!
Ebonic names are hiarious. I laugh everytime I hear an ebonic name like Moesha, Latifah, Lotesha, etc. It's hilarious. Rule of thumb: any show that has a character with an ebonic made-up name is hilarious. Just saying the idiotic ebonnic name 10 times a show is a gauranteed 10 laughs. Remember the Brady Bunch movie where they did the takeoff of "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!!" with "Moesha Moesha Moesha!!"? Funniest moment in movie
history. Again, ebonic names are hilarious.
Moesha never jumped shark and in my opinion the show improved when Kim left and Ray J came in
I couldnt watch this show past the first season. I was in to it until the episode when her dad buys her a brand new red Saturn and she refused to drive it because she wanted a Jeep like her other friends, so she continued to take the bus and leave her car in the garage and her dad begging her to drive it until he relented and bought her the Jeep. I'm like this is not a reality in a African American household, and could not watch anymore beyond that rediculous episode.
I thought that "Moesha" was inspiring growing up. She wore nice cloths, she kept her grades up, and she still had fun. It inspired me to do the same, even as a follower of the LORD JESUS.
Then, when Brandi played as Cinderella, in the movie "Rogers and Hammsterdam's Cinderella" it really pecked the show up more. But however, I must admit, honestly, it did become a bore when HER BROTHER came on the show since it spoiled the excitement of all the fun she was having, all the lip she was giving to her parents to get what she want. Ray J made it sad and more realistic, to me, since he found out that Moesha's father was his too, and no longer his uncle.
