I'm so glad I'm not the only one who notices the missing characters lol I really love Regina Hall and feel like she's too talented for such a limited role and her character could actually be essential to a lot of the stuff they talk about with her background. And whenever Pops isn't around I miss him and wonder where…

I agree with this. I think the show tries to be like All in The Family, Roseanne and A Different World but those shows are the other way around, they're actual characters first and the social issues just organically comes into their worlds and the characters are very distinct enough and specific enough for the comedy…
