What happens

You Take the Kids is an American sitcom television series that aired on CBS from December 15, 1990, to January 12, 1991. The series starred Nell Carter, who also performed the theme song "Nobody's Got It Easy". You Take the Kids, which was perceived as being the black answer to Roseanne due to its portrayal of a working-class African-American family, featured Carter as a crass, no-nonsense mother and wife. The series also marked Nell Carter's return to a series since Gimme a Break! concluded its sixth-season run on NBC in 1987. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
