S1E1: Where I Live

"Where I Live" is a sitcom that aired on ABC's TGIF block in 1993. The series follows Doug (Doug E. Doug), a Trinidadian-American teenager navigating life in Harlem alongside his best friends Reggie (Flex Alexander) and Malcolm (Shaun Baker). Inspired by Doug E. Doug’s own upbringing, the show navigates school, family expectations, and the everyday chaos of city life, with laid-back humor that gave the show a distinctly authentic personality. Critics praised Where I Live for its authentic voice and realistic portrayal of urban teenage life. While the series struggled in the ratings and was short-lived, it earned respect for tackling real issues without losing its humor. Is this forgotten TGIF gem a hidden classic or just another sitcom lost in the shuffle of the ‘90s? Listen as the S1E1 boys head uptown and break down the pilot episode, "Occupant". Starring: Doug E. Doug, Flex Alexander, Shaun Baker, Lorraine Toussaint, Yunoka Doyle, Jason Bose Smith, Sullivan Walker, & Tammy Townsend www.S1E1POD.com Instagram & X (Twitter): @S1E1POD
