The Big House
Season 1
April 2, 2004
6Episodes
In this clever reversal of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air", comedy superstar Kevin Hart (Ride Along, Think Like a Man) plays a spoiled rich kid in Malibu who, after his father is jailed for embezzlement, is sent to live with his auntie (Arnetia Walker) and uncle (Keith David) in a working class neighborhood in Philadelphia. Under the guidance of the loud and sometimes crude Cleveland family, Kevin gets a crash course in dating, religion, and education. Through a series of outrageously funny situations (often laced with genuine emotion), Kevin begins to realize that he has more in common with his common relatives than he ever imagined. Originally aired on ABC, "The Big House" co-stars Yvette Nicole-Brown (Community) and Faizon Love (Couples Retreat).
