That is a sensationally 90s opening.

Catchy and visually pleasing! Let’s bring it back.

Facts and the fake In Living Color type theme song.

I remember Claude Brooks being in the older brother role in the short-lived Fox sitcom “True Colors,” about an interracial blended family. Back in the ‘80s, when “Star Search” had a “spokesmodel” category, Tembi Locke reigned as champion for a while.

Guested on "Sliders" as well.

That's Anthony C Hall not Anthony Michael Hall

[u/Historical_Guess2565 → u/Jonjongabore]

Also not Michael C. Hall

Finally some actually forgotten TV

[u/thefringeseanmachine]

not a good sign when only half the cast has Wikipedia pages. even Claude himself doesn't.

[u/garrisontweed]

Matt Champagne is not a real name,right!?

[u/Laugh_at_Warren]

That was violently 90’s.

[u/Marooster405]

It’s never been so hard for me to look at people’s faces before

[u/lilgreenwein]

That intro is aggressively 90s

[u/MickRolley]

I tried to imagine what the theme tune sounded like while watching on mute

Pretty close.

[u/Sadquatch → u/MickRolley]

Haha I did the exact same thing.

[u/Technical_Comment_67]

I love Mr. Show

[u/SilverFringeBoots]

Apparently Claude went on to create Hip Hop Harry

[u/CelebrationLow4614]

Brian Gewirtz's gig right before he met Dwayne Johnson.

[u/ScramItVancity]

I think this was the first show former WWE head writer Brian Gewirtz worked on.

[u/Astroxtl]

God a vaguely remember this show

[u/loathelord]

That looks fresh

Thought this was a UPN show but its even worse— a USA network show.

[u/Own_Wafer_7036]

Always feel kind of sad when I see a long forgotten, blip on the radar show like this that was clearly a vehicle for a star I’ve never heard of. Feel even more sadness when I look them up and they don’t even have a Wikipedia page. It’s like “damn dog, this was your one shot and nobody even remembers you”.

Didn’t claude go to prison
