The Parent 'Hood is an American sitcom television series that aired on The WB from January 18, 1995, to July 25, 1999. The series starred Robert Townsend and Suzzanne Douglas. Originally to be titled Father Knows Nothing (a parody of the title of the 1950s sitcom Father Knows Best), the series was one of the four sitcoms that aired as part of the original two-hour Wednesday night lineup that helped launch The WB (along with The Wayans Bros., Unhappily Ever After, and the short-lived Muscle).
From November 2021 to 2023, The Parent 'Hood streamed several episodes on HBO Max.
