The Parent 'Hood is a sitcom that aired on The WB for about four seasons, starring the Peterson family, a middle class black family living in Harlem, New York. The father, Robert, is a college professor, while his wife is a law student. Together, they raise their four children; teenagers Michael and Zaria, elementary school-aged Nicholas, and toddler Cece. Also part of the cast was Robert's friend Wendell. In the later seasons, the Petersons take in a troubled youth named T.K.

This show has sometimes been referred to as The Cosby Show of The Nineties.

Tropes used in The Parent 'Hood include:

Acquired Situational Narcissism: each of the Peterson children have had their turn with this.
Annoying Younger Sibling: Nicholas and Cece. Robert's brother Kelly.
Brother Chuck: Several characters disappear without explanation during the show's run, including Wendell's mother and, in the final season, Wendell himself. Even Michael was Brother Chucked, with a throwaway line that he was attending college.
Celebrity Star: many African-American celebrities of The Nineties guest starred as themselves.
Christmas Episode: Robert cancels Christmas because of the kids' greedy attitudes.
The Danza
Drop-In Character: Wendell, to the extent that Nicholas once claimed that Wendell spent more time at his house then he did.
Double Standard: Michael is given permission to attend a basketball game, but Zaria is denied a chance to go to a concert. Robert and Jerri realized that they were wrong and allow Zaria to go to the concert, but they follow her.
Happily Married: Robert and Jerri.
Imagine Spot: Robert has them Once an Episode.
Literal Ass-Kicking - More accurately, literal ass shooting!
Malcolm Xerox: Ahmad
Mistaken for Murderer: Kelly thinks the next door neighbor is a murderer.
Mistaken for Pregnant: The kids think Jerri's pregnant.
Monochrome Casting
N-Word Privileges: One Very Special Episode was essentially an Author Tract about how one shouldn't have N Word Privileges.
Slap Slap Kiss: Michael and Zaria's best friend had this type of relationship.
Teen Pregnancy: One of Zaria's friends is denied a full scholarship to college because she has a child.
Very Special Episode: Several, including one about racism.
