Half & Half is a television situation comedy that aired on UPN from September 23, 2002, to May 22, 2006. The show was about the lives of fictional half-sisters set in San Francisco.
It was the second most-watched show on UPN on Monday (next to Girlfriends) and fourth overall on the network.
The show was on the CW's first draft line-up in March 2006, but due to several circumstances—including the CW contract obligation to pick up Reba, the uncancelling of All of Us, and the pick-up of the Girlfriends spin-off The Game—there was no available space on the schedule.
Half and Half was not presented in the 2006–2007 CW lineup, but it is in reruns on Global TV in Canada, Trouble in the UK and in local syndication in the United States.
