Starring comedian Thea Vidale, the series marked the first time an African American female comedian was the star of a series named after her.[1] SynopsisThea Vidale starred as the sassy Thea Turrell (known for her trademark one-liner of "See ya!"), a widowed mother of four who worked in a Houston, Texas supermarket by day and ran a 1-chair beauty salon on the corner of her porch in the evenings. The show was the first to feature Brandy Norwood, who went on to become a Grammy-winning singer and the star of her own sitcom, Moesha, (with Yvette Wilson as a member of the supporting cast). Although the show initially attracted high ratings, viewership declined steadily over the course of the season, and the series was canceled after 19 episodes, having ended the season in 43rd place.
