American television sitcom Half & Half aired on UPN from September 23, 2002, to May 15, 2006. The show was created by writer and producer Jeffrey Klarik, executive produced by Living Single creator Yvette Lee Bowser and the catchy theme song called “You and Me” is performed by singer/songwriter Melonie Daniels. It focuses on the lives of two paternal half-sisters, Mona and Dee Dee Thorne played by Rachel True and Essence Atkins respectively, who didn’t grow up together but, now that they’re adults in their 20s, are working on having a close relationship. It all gets kicked off when they both move into the same San Francisco apartment building.

@@aliciasimmons8473 nope. Maxine and Kyle was together with their daughter and Kyle was a co-star with big Dee Dee for a movie while Dee Dee idolizes Maxine as she was studying her cases when she was in law school and Dee Dee wanted to meet her. The creator of Living Single was involved with half & half, so that explains the continuity with having Kyle Barker and Maxine Shaw together. No one knew they had a daughter until that episode.

Exactly, and Dee Dee's apt was huge compared to that empty little studio apt that Mona saw. The show's set designer really nailed the apts to reflect the personality of each sister. Dee Dee's apt was even more beautiful than the small space that was shown for Big Dee Dee and Charles' mansion. I like Spencer's apt, and Adam's tiny studio, both of which seemed to fit their personalities as well.

CW literally said we have room for ONE night of Black sitcoms (4 shows). UPN was bulit on the back of Black Shows. I guess it is rumor since it wasn't in the video, but Half & Half was supposed to go to the CW for its 5th season. All Of Us was canceled. However, Chris Rock made a call threatening to end Everyone Hates Chris if All Of Us wasn't renewed. (His brother was on the All Of Us cast.) So Half & Half got the boot. I swear I thought this was public knowledge, but I guess it was a rumor.

All of these black sitcoms that many of us enjoyed on UPN/CW have one thing in common... They all seemed to have abruptly disappeared with cliffhanger endings 😢. Heck, we still don't know what happened to Myles 🤔 did Joan ever get married, and what's going on with Breanna and Arnaz??? Questions that need answers

I never understood when Mona and Dee Dee switched back apartments. It wasn’t the original attic, but the apartment across the hall from that one.

Thank you for doing this. I have been rewatching Half & Half last month because a very nice person has uploaded the series to KZfaq. I watched the episode where Mona makes her love interest selection. I did not realize it was the last episode of the series. I spent a couple of weeks looking for the next episode. Now, you have cleared up for me that there is no next episode.

I loved this show back then and love me some Rachel True. She looked and acted like my late cousin Jackie. I still watch it in syndication today. They could do what Tyler Perry did with House of Payne and bring it back right for the fifth season, just years later. It could work.

This was such a great show. As a teen I mainly watched just to see if Mona and Spencer would finally get together, only to be hit with the Black sitcom cliffhanger curse 😖😭😭 I still think the guy she chose ended up being Spencer.

This was a really really good black show. The comedy was top-notch! All of the people in the wardrobe were beautiful. And it is a shame that when you have shows like this they just go off with no ending to them. Wishing all of the cast members the very best of luck, light and love!
