Moesha, the second show created by Ralph R. Farquhar along with the writing team of Sara V. Finney and Vida Spears (Family Matters), premiered on UPN in the winter of 1996 as a vehicle for Grammy-Award winner/teen idol Brandy and Sheryl Lee Ralph's return to prime time television.
Moesha was the second series by Farquhar after the demise of the highly regard South Central in 1994. Moesha was about Moesha Mitchell as she lives her life and adjust to her new stepmother, Dee. Moesha had always taken care of her father, Frank, and brother Myles before Dee came along. When not at home, Moesha is with her friends, Kim, Hakeem and Niecy at Crenshaw High School or The Den, a local teen hangout.
Following graduation, Moesha and Niecy head off to college together, Kim goes to another college (and series in the form of The Parkers) and Hakeem starts working. The Mitchells gets a new gift in the form of Dorian, Frank's wayward nephew with a secret.

Theme song lyrics:
Mo to the E to the Mo to the E
Up in the Morning
A new day is dawning
Its me, Its me
Now realizing my responsibilities, Its me
My best friends always on my mind, If you wanna be down come on
Gotta do what I what gotta do
Gotta move on
Mo to the E to the Mo to the E
Moesha
