Netflix Sitcom The Upshaws Premieres on Wednesday (May 12); Hallmark Channel Sitcom Schedule Changes

New Netflix comedy The Upshaws starring Wanda Sykes and Mike Epps premieres this Wednesday, May 12. In the multi-camera sitcom, a working-class family in Indiana struggles to make it work and make it right without the blueprint to do it. In addition to starring in the series, it will also be executive produced by Mike Epps and Wanda Sykes. The series also stars Kim Fields, in which we announced last year that she had been cast in this sitcom. The sitcom stars Wanda Sykes as Lucretia, Mike Epps as Bennie, Diamond Lyons as Kelvin Upshaw, Jermelle Simon as Bernard Upshaw, Journey Christine as Maya Upshaw, Khali Daniya-Renee Spraggins as Aaliyah Upshaw, Gabrielle Dennis as Tasha Lewis, Page Kennedy as Duck and Kim Fields as Regina, Bennie's high school sweetheart. Speaking of Kim Fields, UrbanflixTV has secured Actress/Director Kim Fields to Executive Produce/Direct their new series Vicious. Kim Fields, is of course known for her roles in classic sitcoms like The Facts of Life and Living Single, and more recently, starred in and served as an executive producer on Lifetime's You Light Up My Christmas, and the aforementioned sitcom The Upshaws. Additionally, she has served as director for All the Queens Men for BET, Young Dylan for Nickelodeon and House of Payne for TBS.

Last Man Standing, Reba, The Golden Girls and Frasier

As of last week, sitcoms will be replacing movies Monday through Wednesday on The Hallmark Channel daytime lineup. Mondays from 2pm-10pm is Last Man Standing, which had returned to the schedule. Tuesdays from 12pm-10pm is Reba, while Wednesdays from 2pm-1am is The Golden Girls. Sunday-Friday nights from 1am-5am is a four-hour block of Frasier for six straight nights.
