Sparks "Don't Get Hooked On Me"
Ойын-сауық
I DON'T OWN THIS SHOW. I just STARRED on it!
Alonzo Sparks (James Avery (RIP)) is a lawyer who has a practice in Compton. His two sons Maxie and Greg join the practice. Maxie (Miguel A. Nunez Jr.) is basically an "ambulance chaser" who doesn't do things by the book. Greg (Terrance D. Howard) is the complete opposite but lacks self-confidence. Wilma Cuthbert (Robin Givens) is an attractive lawyer who joins the practice and the boys battle over her. Darice Mayberry (Kym Whitley) is Alonzo's secretary and Lamarr Hicks (Arif S. Kinchen) is the firms errand boy.
In this Episode, Darice and Greg have a chance encounter....

Can we have a network that plays all these throwback 80's and 90's Black Sitcoms?? The licensing for these can't be that much. I would watch these all day

I said pretty much the same thing on another TV show board. I would love to own a network and I would play all 70s, 80s, 90s, and early 00s black sitcoms and some drama/action shows like In The Heat of the Night, New York Undercover, and etc.

Such a great cast! Terrance Howard before he blew up, Kym Whitley is always funny, James Avery (RIP) Miguel Nunez Jr, Robin Givens making a comeback, and they had a SLEW of guest appearances. UPN was lit in the 90's
Every time Terrance Howard gets a different role he changes his hair texture!

I'll say it again...SPARKS is too good a show just to be sitting in a studios vault somewhere. I'd buy every season if they'd release it on DVD. Oh, and add A DIFFERENT WORLD, a truly great and groundbreaking show that was way ahead of it's time, that's NOT out on DVD, too!

@Chocolate Queen That's usually the way it goes. Most people throw away real love and somebody that's going to treat them good for stupid reasons or because they're afraid or too immature to commit to a real and meaningful relationship. Been there before.
I love the 90s shows. Always held blacks in a positive position vs today.

I remember this show 📺 I wish there were more episodes
omg I love this show can you upload more episodes
Finally, I am so appreciative that you posted more episodes I truly love this show brings back such great memories. I know I asked before but can you post the camping episode thanks
I like lots of Sparks episode marathon on TV 📺
Please upload more! This show was hilarious
Oh wow. Never saw this or me and the boys with steve harvey. Love this era. They dont make shows like this anymore. 90's sitcoms were the best
Terrence DaShown huh lol
R.I.P. James Avery 🕯
Been looking for this show for years.
Omg I remember this show!!
R.I.P. James Avery Terrence Howard was so young in the show as a lawyer named Greg sparks and his brother Maxey Sparks played By Miguel A. Núñez Jr. I wish the show is still on forever but it was canceled but James Avery he played the father in the show he was even the head of the firm too
Sparks was the shit. It had such soul and all that rich LA Blackness.
I like this show Sparks with lots of episodes.
I remember this show. In fact this is probably the show where I first remember all these great actors in it. It's amazing how far hollywood has come. TV used to be so segregated, but now most of this cast has crossed over into mainstream work and you really don't have these shows like this anymore except the tyler perry and TV One ones.
