In the tone of Countess Vaughn, everybody say “heeyyy!”
Iconic Black sitcom The Parkers turns 25 years old this year. To celebrate, Dabl Network will commemorate the series with an all-day marathon.
The Parkers stars Mo’Nique and Countess Vaughn as a mother-daughter duo who are both attending the same community college as the mom, Nikki, decides to go back to school. Originally airing on UPN from 1999 to 2004 as a spinoff of Moesha, it is remembered for the signature “heeyyy” greeting, which made its way into popular vernacular in the early 2000s.
The series’ classic lineup also included Dorien Wilson, Jenna von Oÿ, Ken L. and the late Yvette Wilson. Mari Morrow starred in Season 1.
Currently, the show is a staple on Dabl Network’s lineup of popular and iconic Black sitcoms.
