I DO NOT like sitcoms past 2005. But I LOVE me some Soul Man. Niecy Nash is one of my all-time favorites, and seeing her in a classic sitcom ... I wasn't sure, but she KILLS it! And Cedric is a vet - he was one half of the best part of the Steve Harvey show! I'm glad he got to do a show/character he seems to really have a connection to, as his performance is off the charts as Boyce. The supporting cast is great, too, and the live shows they did were bangin'! A true classic for any sitcom fan!
