Yeah, I saw that a while ago. I was gonna post it, but I didn't know if I could. If you watch the entire thing, you can see why it was short-lived. It's still cool to see.

But it could've sworn Morris was in a sitcom, where he played a hair dresser. If someone remembers it,let me know.

I don't remember this one. I remember the one where he worked in a salon with Sheryl Lee Ralph.
Damn, that means he had two sitcoms.

Even after thorough research, I've never known Morris to co-star in a short lived NBC sitcom eek

I love this man, he's the only reason I even give Baisden After Dark the time of Day lol

Yeah i onl remember New Attitude. HOw did I miss this???
And it's that white guy from 227 who seems to only be in black sitcoms!

Damn, though, Morris had real acting chops.... even with that cheesy material... (which btw is actually better than the crap on today).

It's a damn shame Morris never got to really shine in acting roles. He had true comedic timing and presence. Maybe he could still pursue an acting career??

After 'Purple Rain',many people were saying that Morris could become the next Richard Pryor.It's a shame his acting career didn't take off the way it should have.The guy could really act.

I mean his character was originally written as a gay man, but was changed when Morris was cast. I thought I read that somewhere.

How long was this show on the air? I'm surprised they never had Vanity as a guest star-wasn't she good friends with Morris Day? This was during the time when she started guest-starring on different shows. Anyway, I can't say I'm surprised this show didn't make it...

Mannn...
I think it would've been so cool to be part of the studio audience & go "Weooooo...!!!" every time Morris showed up in a flashy outfit.

I mean...
the stories I could tell.....

Didn't this show only consist of one pilot episode, and never got picked up?

and judging by the acting, I know why this one and NEW ATTITUDE went over like lead balloons.

featured him working in a hair salon before this pilot?
