Main Summary
The Parkers is a show about the life of Nikki Parker, a character played by actress Mo'Nique. Along with her came her daughter, Kim Parker, and her friends, Stevie Van Lowe, and Thaddeus/Tyrell "T" Radcliffe. Nikki has a friend named Andell Wilkerson, who just can't get a man. One of the many themes is Nikki's huge crush on Professor Stanley Oglevee, whom she has chased around for over five years. She just won't accept the fact that he does not love her back. They all go to Santa Monica Junior College, where the show takes place in nearly every episode. This show was also a spinoff of Moesha.

First Season
The first season was mainly the exposition. All the characters were introduced, including ones with recurring appearances. Kim and Nikki hung out together like friends. They lived in a house. They had a friend named Desiree, who only appeared for a couple of episodes before being removed completely. We were able to see the foreshadowing of Nikki's obsession for the professor, a recurring gag which eventually led to many, many misunderstandings. Along with it came the bitter rivalry between Nikki and Veronica Cooper, both of whom want to win the professor's heart.

Second Season
In the second season, Kim's friends Stevie and T became part of the cast. Kim gets her first husband, although the marriage did not last very long. This season was the pre-climax of the show, where Nikki's relationship with the professor gets a little rocky, even after almost snatching him. Many of the episodes also revolved around Kim, mostly ones about her intelligence level. Nikki and Kim also moved out of their house into a new apartment, where they stayed for the rest of the series.

Third Season
In the third season, most of the episodes revolved around Nikki. This season happened to be the climax of the show, where Nikki and the professor finally kiss for the first time. Kim gets a new boyfriend named Allen, who happens to be overweight.

Fourth Season
In the fourth season, the plots thicken even more. Nikki thinks she got pregnant from the professor and nearly gets married to him. Unfortunately for her, that wasn't the case, although there was someone who did get married to the professor. There was even an episode where Nikki has a dream about getting married to him, but they did not show the whole wedding as they were saving it for the end of the series.

Fifth Season
In the final season, the plots wound down. Andell got the man of her dreams, Stevie and T graduated from junior college, Kim opened up her new business, but did Nikki finally get her dream man?
