The miniseries received such a good reception that it led to a weekly series entitled Brewster Place. However, it was axed after just four episodes due to low ratings. It is frequently broadcasted on TV One, where the miniseries has became a staple.
The show's theme song was performed by American R&B singer Vesta Williams, who performed both the opening and closing credits. LESS
