South Central (TV series)

South Central (TV series)

"South Central" was a short-lived comedy-drama that aired on the Fox network from April 5, 1994 to June 4, 1994. It was cancelled midway through its first season, for a total of 10 episodes. The sitcom was set in South Central Los Angeles, and dealt with everyday life in Los Angeles. Many notable actors appeared in this series, including Jennifer López, Larenz Tate, Shar Jackson, and Maia Campbell.

South Central was very popular among critics for what was perceived as a realistic portrayal of urban life. The show dealt with issues such as gang violence, drugs, dating, sex, school, and employment. Many considered it to be a 90's version of Good Times.

The show aired on Tuesday evenings following Roc. Due to the decline in ratings of the entire night of programming, Fox cancelled all the shows on the night and created the Tuesday Night movie. Several black leaders criticized the network for not allowing the show to have a full season and a good timeslot to prove itself.
