The greatest tv-show ever

This was the first tv-show I ever saw about life in the hood. And I thought it was great when It was on... I even recorded many of the episodes which I watch still sometimes today almost 8 years after it's cancellation.

My favorite character in it is CORN played by Vicellous Shannon (24, Hurricane) he really had soul.

My favorite episodes was the one where JAMES got beat down in school and he was shooked up and scared in school afterwards, almost the same thing happened to me so I really could relate to that episode.

I also thought the episode where GUSMARRO left the gang, and the one where GUSMARRO & JAMES took a duck for pet and not to mention the episode where CORN decided to bury the kid who was killed in school who had no friends, I felt like he was an angel for doing that.

It's an amazing show, it's to bad that it got cancelled... Rating: 10/10
