Some of them I've already mentioned, while others include: The A-Team, Hunter, The greatest American hero, and Hardcastle & Mccormick. Bold, sassy and realistic, four upwardly mobile and very different African-American women share adventures, advice and an exclusive brownstone in New York City as they hilariously celebrate Living.
