    Both episodes had my undivided attention. As a single mother myself, the show is really showcasing the struggles we go through on a daily basis. Monica Calhoun was made for this part & Jonathan Biggs is doing a fabulous job! I look forward to continuing to watch with the hopes of watching on TV soon!

  16. Tammy says:

    very good…….

  17. wickedestbenn says:

    This is such an empowering series, it’s a great tool to show all the single moms that they overcome and achieve anything.

  18. Apryle says:

    very good

  19. MsInquisitive says:

    Although tv can be entertainment, there can be something positive to get out of a “good” show. I like the Bailey creedo, “every problem has a solution”! Our children need more positivity in their lives to grown up to be productive, responsible adults. All of this reality garbage is only reinforcing more ignorance.

  20. MzPaulag says:

    So far I’m really enjoying this show. I wasn’t a big fan Robert Townsend due to some of his bad directing and movies. But I see he has really improve. Especially with his directing 10,000 Men Named George movie. He has really outdone himself with this show. Congratulations Mr. Townsend. God Bless and many more blessings.

    The more I watch – the more I love it !!!

  22. Ms1640 says:

    it just keeps getting better

  23. lrking says:

    Robert you are doing so well. I appreciate your effort where you keep on pushing forward. It is very encouraging and I am available if you ever need a project manager:-)

  24. spiritualove says:

    Incredible stories of struggles and hopes. Showing single motherhood from different frames of reference is what makes this piece of work so amazing.

  25. penpoint59 says:

    It’s refreshing and alive. This form of story telling inspires at the core of a person when they see the struggle and a mom’s efforts to rise above the situation and how the strength of one can become the key to hope for others. The compassion one for another that can come from the strength of one shared with others through interpersonal contact and support. great show when’s the second season.

  26. natashagates says:

  27. okivice says:

    Another exceptional episode. I will be watching more as time allows.

  28. socrates says:

    All I can say is “thank you Mr. Townsend. These episodes are long overdue. They need to be shown at community centers, high schools, wherever single moms congregate. Can’t wait for Season 2. I e-mailed everyone I knew with a computer to watch these episodes.

  29. deelicious says:

    I think that it should be produced on PBS and free tv. all single mom’s need to see their story. Thank you Mr. Townsend for quality work.

As I watched her I saw nothing but myself on screen Koodos to you and everyone who put this show together. I watched the whole first season in one sittiting looking forward to next season 2/11/10.

  34. CarterCaresLLC says:

  36. Troynetta says:

    I love it! Watch Robert Townsend on Mo’Nique and check out the webisode the next day. Mr. Townsend encourage me to pack my things, two children, and dog and my car and move to L.A. from Chicago to pursue my life long goals, at his seminar at Columbia College. He said it’s time to give birth! Thank you Mr. Townsend, and I agree with what you said about the comedians today, I worked for Pookey at CS.

  37. ohioproducer says:

    Good for you!! Wishing you much success out in LA! This series has inspired me to work harder on my online web series now that I have moved from Ohio to Chi Town. Im starting all over because I dont have access to film equipment like I did before, but I know God will make a way.

  38. lhooks says:

    This is a Godsend! The Atlanta Voice wrote an article describing PIC.tv and this show. I love it! Keep on showing encouraging shows as well as information to assist people in climbing higher to achieve their goals. I will spread the word about this site. Thank you!

  39. ivan jorew says:

    I am enjoying the program. The events and themes are right on course with the trials and tribulations of motherhood…be it single, as a couple or with a “village”. Good job Mr. Townsend, staff and cast. I heard about the show on the interview that Mr. Townsend did on the Brian McKnight Show. I have only watched two episodes thus far, but I am already hooked. Once again, good job.

    Wow! This is so realistic. There are so many single women out here raising children . . . those of their own and other people’s children. This really hits home.

  44. TT says:

    I have enjoyed the first two episodes, just heard about about the web show by Robert Townsend on Ton Joyner show Friday. Very impressed hope to see the episodes extend in viewing time and to be picked up by tv.
