Structured entries
- SOUTH CENTRAL
Debut: This series mixes comedy with gritty realism as it depicts life in Los Angeles's South Central neighborhood. Tina Lifford plays Joan Mosley, a single mother who, in the opener, struggles to make ends meet after being laid off. Another concern surfaces when teenage son Andre (Larenz Tate) wants to carry a beeper to keep in touch with friends. But Joan, who has lost a son to gang violence, fears that a beeper will send the wrong message to police: namely that Andre is a gang member. Tasha: Tasha Scott. Sweets: Paula Kelly. Deion: Keith Mbulu.
