From Kenan and Kel to Moesha, the nineties is often considered to be the ‘Golden Age’ of black sitcoms as TV networks tried to recreate the success of The Cosby Show. But quickly after the new millenium, many of these shows began to disappear and sitcoms centring black lives became close to impossible to find.
In this episode of The TV That Changed Me, Beth speaks to journalist Micha Frazer-Carroll about how rewatching Sister, Sister in lockdown led her to investigate what happened to the black TV shows of her youth.
