The show was filmed as a live performance. Though short lived the show is remembered for its various social commentaries, largely on race and drugs through the lens of comedy and drama. It is important that it aired on Fox. Early, on the network featured several shows that appealed to an African American audience. Though the production of writers on Fox shows confronted race issues, columnist and scholar Kristal Brent Zook notes, that program writers often faced much backlash from network executives.
