I thought this too when it first came out and I purposely missed the entire first season of the show. I've started watching it again and I absolutely love the show. I think the characters have evolved over time. The girls are very funny and all have personalities that I can appreciate. I don't have a favorite character.
I think the guy - can't think of his name-is so funny. You know the black guy on the show that Perisa used to live with that donated his sperm to his lesbian sister..

I wasn't too crazy about the episode where Lynn's sister comes to town. She's white, but very much into blackness (she's got the blaccent and everything). There's a scene where she and a bunch of black folks are in a hair salon (I think?) and some rap music comes on and Lynn's (white) sister begins singing along. At this point, it all seems so contrived 'cause you JUST KNOW what's about to jump off.
I just thought there could've be a more creative way to work in race and the historical significance of the N-word. But, it's just a half-hour sitcom, not a million man march rally.
I read somewhere that Persia White's daughter has appeared on the show.

That was the first time I actually defended a show that I didn't even like.

Love the show. I like Persia White's character best, she reminds me a lot of myself.
I thought the show was going to go down hill after Jill Marie Jones left but I think it has gotten better. I can't wait for the new season to start.
