snoops I cannot believe some of these reviews.. C'mon, it's a CARTOON! I'm sure some of these same people watch "The Simpsons", and consider it a "classic". Not to mention "King of The Hill" and "Family Guy". Is this really any worse? The only difference is this is on Disney, and they are on FOX.Sure, Oscar Proud is childish, whiny, and immature. So, is Homer Simpson. Even one of my favorites, Fred Flintstone, was not too bright, but we still love him. Just like Wilma was the wiser of the two within the marriage, so is Trudy. As for the white kids, I don't see Zoey bending over backwards to fit in. They accept her for who she is. In regards to the other characters, yes they can be silly and annoying- just like real people. Are any of the kids on this show more pathetic than Bart Simpson? People still want to go back to "The Cosby Show", the "perfect" example of what every African-American show should be. There have been complaints about it too, how it's "too white", "unrealistic", and two of the children are "too light". It seems every TV show of color is destined to be criticized and torn down beyond belief, more so than their white counterparts.

aj_ajc_aj This show is on my list of favorite shows. it always has a moral at the end of the show to teach your kids. How could you not like this show. I cant see any time of stereotype or racist thing in this show. Trudy is a high paid veterinarian which is the complete opposite of a stereotypical African-American woman. I love how Penny is always learning how to deal with her teenage problems. its a great show to show your children or the whole family. Get a grip people. Just because its not like those other cheesy classics like Bambi does not mean it deserves to be criticized so badly. The Proud Family is an unique, inspirational, and joyful television show and a must for families.

spw143 "makes an admirable move into a ghetto"-Dan from BostonDan...I am a avid PF watcher and it doesn't appear that they live ina "ghetto". In fact the neighborhood looks middle class and themulticultural cast appear to be both working class and white collarcombined (Penny's mom is a vet and dad owns a company).I just wanted toaddress that previous statement, but we do both agree that its a funand enlightening show (e.g the episode about segregation)and the life lessons that the show pushes through (communication, respect, honesty, family values) are wonderful... I hope that Disney keeps this one around for some time!!!

nolanjwerner This show is like every African-American stereotype rolled in to one offensive digestible quantity. The dialogue is more laden with slang then Trainspotting (the book not the movie) and this is...Well, it reminds me of a minstrel show, I am just waiting for the episode where they reveal it to be exactly that. I love Recess and Fillmore and a lot of Disney cartoons but this one is just terrible.Yeah, and a couple years later and I still feel the same way. And my African-American roommate says the exact same thing so I feel somewhat vindicated. He even actually tried to contact the NAACP about the show.And to be honest, on top of all the stereotypes, the show itself is really pretty bad.
