The Parent 'Hood

If there's a rulebook for raising kids in the '90s, Robert Peterson (award-winning filmmaker, actor, director and producer Robert Townsend) never read it. A big kid at heart, Robert tends to favor a more freestyle method of parenting when it comes to his own four children in Warner Bros. Television's half-hour comedy "The Parent 'Hood."

Starring Townsend, Suzzanne Douglas, Carol Woods, Kenny Blank, Reagan Gomez-Preston, Curtis Williams, Ashli Amari Adams and Bobby McGee, "The Parent 'Hood" is an outrageous, edgy, straight-talking look at the joys and pitfalls of contemporary family life in a world that's changing faster than parents can possibly keep up.
