Sparks : The Pilot 

I wish. It was so fun back then.

All the time..😝

Yes / (something)

I'm with you. Let's go back. I'll go back in a heartbeat.

heck yeah!

Amen to that.

Well...no. Actually, the '70's and the early '80's did.

@@wiglafsfilms8418 Best thing to do is to agree to disagree.

Right I can’t stand what’s on tv now

Big facts

I just found out he ain't Cuba gooding jr rofl

@@anonimato1987 always mistake those two

ya mfs blind if u cant see the difference between hoard and gooding jr

Wasa is your first day going with you today to see what your friends

I like to think that in another life, he was/is a real magistrate judge. 🥰 lol

Damn...He played on LA Law???

Guess I was too mesmerized by Blair Underwood to notice...lol😜😆😆😆

He also played a judge in a episode of Dallas in 1988.

@Scorpio Bradley Yup. Kym Whitley played Ms Wheatley. I also remember Terrance Howard from Dead Presidents when Larenz Tate beat him up at the pool hall.

Terrence Howard actually played on a show called Tall Hopes...that was his first sitcom that came on A.B.C but he sure did work his way up the ranks on television & movies ✌🏾

I first saw TH in Mr. Holland's Opus the year before this premiered.

yup

@sha11235 one of my favorite movies

90s-2000s sitcoms had star studded casts. It was so normal that we didn't realize how magical it was.

​@@NikkiKNuvoExactly. There was such a log jam of great sitcoms back then. Not enough room for everyone.

Out all Night was my shi* lol

In The House, with LL cool J and Debbie Allen and KIm Waynes.

Out all night and In the house are on RU-vid. Both were awesome. Terrance played in another failed sitcom called Tall Hopes with George Wallace as his dad and he was the favorite son who wants to go to the NBA.

HOW DO I GET THE COMPLETE SERIES... REALLY MISSED THIS SHOW, NEED TO WATCH IT ALL OVER AGAIN

What character did you play?

@TV Show Reviews I just asked a question.

@@saywhat7992 What's messed up is the chick who started this thread hasn't answered your question in more than 3 years.

@@saywhat7992 Plus, I looked at the guest star list of the entire run of the show and her name aint nowhere on there. Nishka Evelyn probably was either a featured extra with no lines, a walk-on extra, or something.

Press Pause Productions Yep They were already promo'ing the show before Prince ended.

OG was booked & busy lol

This show debuted in 1994 and ended in 1995

@@mississippimeatloaf1637 No, it was from 1996-98.

Well, a few of the actors from Fresh Prince immediately went into a new series the next year. That does happen, if you are in demand.

This show is called sparks&sparks and it came on bet back in 1997

Yooooo! I know they did that scene like 8 times. Lol

Ok 😂😂😂

I fell on the floor laughing so hard.

I remember that scene like it was yesterday! Hilarious!

😂😂😂

Yes, We know...and loved your dad too, Kelvin. So glad to see this uploaded now...and he was a great man and Councilman too, as I recall. Helped me with a probate matter walking around the office in socks and gym shorts. He was very proud of you and family. The man never gave up and finally...passed his bar exam. Now you have a new generation in the profession and I'm smiling at that. Dad would be so proud. Still looking for the orignal opening sequence with the shots of Adam's Funeral Home, however...but so glad I found this uploaded finally!! God bless...great show. Wish we had something else like it now based on our great city. Much love...

That's so cool.

I saw your response on another episode ?? i had a private law practice at 363 W Compton Blvd for 11 years from 1982 until 1993 when I came on the bench ! i am now a Judge in the Compton Courthouse.

@@kelvinfiler7805 Oh wow!!!! Im sorry I didnt know who you are but this is so cool!!! I used to love watching this.....

@@geneviasims7617 Thank you Genevia !!! It is funny how the popularity of the show seems to be resurfacing ! thank you for the kind words !

This was on one of the newest networks that concentrated on having black shows.

@@sha11235 it was on UPN9 here in NYC, along with Moesha, Homeboys from Outer Space, Malcolm & Eddie, The Parkers

Now I understand why I don't remember this show. I grew up in Orrington, Maine. That means I got cable in fall of 1992 and we didn't have UPN. We had WBSK out of Boston and it was a few more years before UPN would be shown in place of WBSK so I missed out on a lot of UPN shows. This show is actually pretty good!!

They were all such good and great actors and actresses that they had no choice but to blow up.

Ratings weren't high enough.

There was such a log jam of great shows back then. Unfortunately there wasn't enough room for everyone.

GiGi J. That was my former law office - the show was based on my law practice. !!! Thank you for the kind words !

I miss 1990s

+loveskimonos U missed alot...Ask yo bros n sisters or anyone who was born in e 70s and 80s..and they will tell u hw e 90s was like...i was born 86..

maDeiNtHe80s that's right.

maDeiNtHe80s yup 82 baby!!

Thank God I'm an old soul

I love him. 🙏🏽❤️

Oh yeah.

do you have this tv show on dvd....or where can I get this dvd from....my dad loved that show me too....its not fair they didn't get picked up for another season...back then please reply

I was looking for this show on Netflix and Amazon Prime. I can't find it. :( Is this show available on DVD?

kateannlavender no its not :( Sucks huh? Maybe one day. But I TRULY hope to post 2-3 more eposodes soon

OOO I can't wait til you post the other episodes. I really wish that Sparks was available on Netflix or Amazon Prime.

arifskinchen Please do so... I really enjoyed this show.

Yes

faxxxxxx

it really was, 💯💯👏👍👆☝️🗣️💬

True it was a great show

I just found out about it. Great classic!

Rita Harris me too...first time I saw him

Do y'all remember him in the "Jacksons: An American Dream"?

Lolita Brown Hell yeah

He played one episode LIVING SINGLE. Maxine Shaw's boytoy.

He was Max’s college age bf on living single

hahaha I see someone was also a Martin fan. I don't know, hell I don't even remember this show and I know I did not watch it. I guess going to show and raising 4 kids did keep me from some things. lol

it was on UPN at 5:00 am nobody would

The Black Nostalgia Nerd2 I never knew about this...I grew up in the 90's...with these side TV shows that didn't come on during the day damn lol..maybe I just forgot.

Kim whitley was Aunt Sug on next Friday lol Robin Mrs Mike Tyson Givens was Darlene on The TV show Head if the. class

Rick Ross Miguel (Pretty Ricky and Juwanna Mann) 😂

The Biggest Mess-Up was having upn and The WB merge into The CW in 2006 They both had great black sitcoms along with FOX back in the 90's Speaking of FOX, the only thing I watch now is the NFL and MLB as well as Pac-12 Football and I haven't watched The CW since SMACKDOWN left the network

Yes indeed, God Bless James Avery, R.I.P. Uncle Phil/The Shredder/Alonzo Sparks and plus, Joseph Marcell who played his butler Geoffrey on Fresh Prince has outlived Uncle Phil and plus, Judge Joe Brown, Richard Moll and Fred Dryer has also outlived Uncle Phil

Isn't this that the truth. He could've played James Avery's brother or something. I thought this show was funny. I remembered when it debuted.

iluvmyboba I remember it all too well. I was like 10 when this show was on and I watched it with my family. Terrence Howard hasn't aged one bit! And I like that idea they should have had Sherman Hensley play James Avery's brother. That would have been hilarious!! I remember he was on a short-lived show the same time as this one called "Good Behavior."

@@a.b.s_productions James Avery did appear on Amen a couple of times and let's not forget, Sherman and James both worked together on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air when Sherman played a corrupt Judge named Carl Robinson

Ed. Weinberger has created a lot of shows The Original Bill Cosby Show, TAXI, Best of the West, reunited with Mr. Cosby in The Cosby Show, Amen, reunited with Judd Hirsch and Paramount Television in Dear John, reunited with the late James Avery in Sparks, reunited with the late Sherman Hemsley in Good Behavior and reunited with Roz Ryan in Good News Speaking of which, it would've been great to see Sherman Hemsley and Clifton Davis reunite on Good News and they would've given David Ramsey's character Pastor David Randolph and Guy Torry's character Little T Fits lol

@@tnawcwvictoria James also appeared on Jeffersons in the episdoe Father Christmas. He played the Jeffersons' landlord in George's childhood flashback.

thanks for the love

thanx!

+Kasim rowe Lol its not that bad Ol head that was like "99

You did nice on the show. I hope we can see more episodes of it in the future.

I miss the 90s the good old days

Me too😂

thnx

i will try. im thinking of reloading my Ron ONeal ep too

@@arifskinchen okay thank you.

Congratulations on your bet, he was also in 227 and The Jeffersons

Duane Lassiter thanks for sharing that..yes remember on 227 but The Jeffersons I don't recall he did a lot of sitcoms he also was on a Different World episode... Wow.. I just may win another bet... Lol such a talent actor he will be missed... :-) ✴

It was a Christmas episode for thee Jefferson when Willard lost all that weight reminiscing about their childhood about christmas

He was also on Amen, Reba and Judging Amy, he was a Lawyer standing up for a 12 year old He was also on TNBC's One World

I'm not sure if anyone remember City Of Angels it was a rendition of ER but with black doctors Blair Underwood, Holly Robinson was residents doctor he started in 3 episode...

EVERYBODY...

@@arifskinchen I forgot this show existed good times bro was Robyn really as fine in person as TV?

@@jacksonhewitt7827 YUP - Still Is

Wow! I'm here after he co-hosted the Two Funny Mamas podcast with Kym Whitley.

man, i ask myself that all the time

Too positive...🤷

Ratings too low.
