About the show

The show follows the lives of Flex Washington (Flex Alexander) and his teenage daughter Breanna Barnes (Kyla Pratt). The series begins with Breanna wanting to stay with her father, Flex, whom Breanna used to see only two weeks a year. When he blew out his knee during an NBA game, Flex had his communications degree to fall back on and became a sportscaster. Flex works for the fictional WYNX TV station in Baltimore, resides in the ultimate bachelor pad, and lives the life of luxury. He is a ladies' man who wants to be both a responsible parent and a best friend to Breanna. Flex is very protective of his daughter, especially with boys. He has a way with women and has only had a couple of serious relationships, one of which was Breanna's mother Nicole Barnes (Tichina Arnold), whom he got pregnant at the age of 18. When Nicole takes a job in Nova Scotia, Nicole allows Breanna to live with Flex.

Flex's best friend and Breanna's godfather, Duane Odell Knox (Kelly Perine), is a used car salesman who lives across the hall from Flex and Breanna and is a constant presence in their lives for better or worse. Duane's way with women is the exact opposite of Flex, in which Duane usually repels women. The women he does date, however, are somewhat unusual. His only serious girlfriend during the series was Candy (Shondrella Avery), with whom he dated for two years before getting engaged and later breaking up.

On Breanna's side is her best friend Spirit Jones (Sicily Sewell) with whom she creates some mischief. Her other best friend, Arnaz Ballard (Robert Ri'chard), is the object of her on-again, off-again affection. The two were just best friends, but Breanna became jealous of Arnaz's old girlfriend, Ginger (Khanya Mhkize). Arnaz became jealous when, in season two, Breanna started dating Josh (Josh Henderson). The two finally became a real couple in the latter part of the series. They break up by the fifth season and move on to date other people even though they know they still love each other.

Following the ending relationship from Breanna's current boyfriend and a rejection from Arnez as he went off to chase a new love to the mountains, the final show ended with "I Love LA Part 2" where Sarah, after a bad date, walked in on D-Mac and Breanna sleeping together. There wasn't a filmed third part to "I Love LA" to keep watchers on a cliff-hanger and end the show on an interesting note.

Trivia

  • Originally, the fourth season ended with Breanna staying in Baltimore and moving in with her boyfriend, Arnaz, but finding Arnaz had spent his rent on a plane ticket to stop her from leaving for L.A. By the fifth season's premiere, this was changed to them deciding to move to L.A. together, in order to accommodate the network-enforced casting changes.
  • During seasons 1, 2, and 3, Arnaz has a Yin and Yang tattoo on the right side of his neck, but in the 4th and 5th seasons, it's gone. The change is especially noticed when Arnaz and Michelle, D-Mack's sister, go to a rock concert, and afterwards Arnaz addresses the fact about how the band members had numerous tattoos, and he doesn't have any.
  • Many of the show's titles are taken from songs ("The Way You Make Me Feel") or movies ("Phantom Menace", "Spy Games"), or takes on the two ("It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Hip Hop World", "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like...Venice?") *Both Kyla Pratt and Robert Ri'chard have appeared in episodes of Veronica Mars
  • Originally, The series was going to move to the The CW.
