Here are the bloopers for season 3 if the hit series Girlfriends in the UPN/CW Network. 📺😂🎬

20 years ago today, the UPN sitcom One on One was cancelled after five seasons during the UPN and WB merger that created The CW.

Starring Flex Alexander and Kyla Pratt, the series struggled in its final season after a major format change. Season 5 acted as a “soft reboot,” moving the show from Baltimore to Los Angeles, reducing Flex’s role, and shifting the focus more toward Breanna.

Although the sitcom remained popular with fans, it ultimately did not make the transition to The CW lineup following the 2006 network merger.

❌ Moesha was canceled 25 years ago yesterday on May 14, 2001 — leaving fans with the shocking kidnapping of Myles Mitchell unresolved.

Some fans say Myles was found because Marcus T. Paulk appeared on The Parkers. But his crossover episode aired in 1999, two years before the Moesha finale kidnapping storyline in 2001.

After Moesha was canceled, the storyline was never officially resolved.

Guest Star Lil Kim as Diamond

20 years ago today, the UPN sitcom Half & Half was cancelled after four seasons and 91 episodes. The series finale aired on May 15, 2006.

Despite being a strong performer for UPN, the show was left off The CW’s Fall 2006 lineup after the merger between UPN and The WB, which caused a major schedule overhaul.

Fans still remember the frustrating cliffhanger ending, where the main character chose a romantic partner over the phone — but viewers never found out who was on the other end because the series was abruptly cancelled.

Here’s a throwback clip from The Game, where Tahj Mowry—real-life brother of actress Tia Mowry—guest starred as Cameron Barrett, the younger brother of Dr. Melanie Barnett.🎄🎁

19 years ago yesterday, All of Us was cancelled by The CW on a cliffhanger.

The series finale aired May 14, 2007, and ended with Neesee and Robert crashing a wedding pretending to be Beyoncé and Jay-Z before sharing a romantic kiss, leaving their relationship unresolved.

Created by Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, the sitcom was loosely based on their blended family.

Season 2, Episode 20 (May 6, 2002) — “My Mother, Myself” 💐💌💝

This marks Jenifer Lewis’s first appearance as Varetta Childs, Toni’s mother, on Girlfriends.

Toni’s outspoken loudmouth mother, Varetta (Jenifer Lewis), surprises her with a visit for Joan’s Mother’s Day brunch—much to Toni’s dismay.

Kim Fields has directed several episodes of popular sitcoms on UPN. Her UPN directing credits include episodes of One on One (5 episodes), All of Us ("If You Can't Stand the Heat," 2005), Girlfriends ("You Better Watch Out," 2001), and The Parkers.

Here’s a small clip of The WB Network signing off in September 2006. I don’t think I had ever seen this before, but watching it now feels incredibly bittersweet. I was 14 years old when both the WB and UPN networks came to an end. An unforgettable era of television. 💔
