You Take the Kids(1990)

You Take the Kids is an American sitcom that aired on CBS for just one season, from December 1990 to January 1991. Nell Carter stars as a sharp-tongued, no-nonsense mother navigating life in a working-class African-American household. Carter also performs the theme song "Nobody's Got It Easy." The series drew comparisons to Roseanne for its candid portrayal of everyday family struggles and financial pressures, anchored by Carter's brash, commanding presence. Though short-lived, You Take the Kids offered a distinct comedic voice centered on Black family dynamics during the early 1990s.
