Great show all around

I got turned onto the show because I was a little guy and I would just watch TV all day once I came home from school, it was my best friend. I have to say that the chemistry was a great thing to see. The characters were well developed and the talent was plenteous! I loved Romeo and Bullethead and once they added Lidya it was something that boosted the gruesome twosome to a terrible threesome and of course the always mentioned rarely seen Arthur Rebenowicz was always a riot to hear about.

I wish I would have been able to see the series finale, because if any show deserved one, it was this one. Lovita and Cedric had such a wonderful chemistry, and I loved the fact that all the laughs came from character, and also I think that this show also struck a chord in me because seeing black professionals on TV is a wonderful thing to see. They were there to empower the students while dealing with their own lives. This show had a wonderful balance to it both professionally and personally. I hope that Steve and Regina got together at the end of the show.
