Fans are excited for HBO Max’s latest television series additions. HBO Max added The Parent ‘Hood, Martin, The Jamie Foxx Show, Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper and In the House.
These shows were staple situational comedies in the 1990’s. Each show focused on a different comedian or celebrity personality and their unusual families and friends. Take a look at a brief description for each of these classics below:

The Parent ‘Hood starred Robert Townsend as the former New York college professor Robert Peterson. It follows him and his wife, Jerri, as they share their Manhattan brownstone apartment with their four children aged 3 to 15 years old. The show that is now available to stream on HBO Max first aired on television from 1995 to 1999 for five seasons.
The Jamie Foxx Show
This show follows Texas native Jamie King, portrayed by Jamie Foxx, who is an aspiring actor who heads to Hollywood in hopes to find fame and fortune in the entertainment industry. To support himself, he works at his uncle’s Los Angeles hotel, the King’s Towers. On the job, he competes for the attention of gorgeous desk clerk Francesca “Fancy” Monroe, who has made it clear that she is not interested in an office romance.
