[edit] Synopsis
Former funk singer Steve Hightower (Steve Harvey) is now a music teacher/Vice-principal at Booker T. Washington High in Chicago. Budget cutbacks meant Steve also had to teach drama and art, which he didn't know. Cedric Robinson (Cedric the Entertainer) was a chubby coach and Steve's friend. Regina Grier (Wendy Raquel Robinson), Steve's former classmate, is now the principal.
Steve seemingly met his match in a pair of his students: Romeo Santana (Merlin Santana), a stylish, charismatic ladies' man, and Romeo's dense, horny sidekick, Stanley Kuznocki, nicknamed Bullethead (William Lee Scott).
In 1997 Regina hired as her secretary Lovita Jenkins (Terri J. Vaughn), who soon started a passionate relationship with Cedric. The show also featured a succession of young actresses who served as female foils to Romeo and Bullethead; the longest-lasting of these was Lori Beth Denberg as Lydia Liza Gutman. The Lady of Rage also had a recurring role as Coretta Cox, a bully in romantic pursuit of Romeo.
