Synopsis
Holly Robinson Peete stars as Tanya Ward, the matriarch of a middle-class
African American family that live in suburban
New Jersey. Tanya's family includes husband Ed (Kevin Michael Richardson), their 12-year-old son Bobby (B.J. Mitchell) and 16-year-old daughter Danika (Megalyn Echikunwoke). Rounding out the family is Ed's father, Ed "Pop" Ward Sr. (J. Anthony Brown), an opinionated and feisty senior citizen.
When Tanya's closest friend Maddie Hudson (Diane Farr), a Caucasian race single mom, hits a rough patch, Tanya and her family invite Maddie and her 16-year-old son Keith (J.
