Moesha (/moʊˈiːʃə/) is an American television sitcom that aired on UPN from January 23, 1996, to May 14, 2001. The series stars R&B singer Brandy as Moesha Denise Mitchell, an African-American teenager living with her upper middle class family in the Leimert Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. [1] It was originally ordered as a pilot for CBS' 1995–1996 television season but was declined by the network.[2] It was then later picked up by UPN, which aired it as a mid-season replacement. It went on to become the biggest success for the nascent network and one of the greatest hits over the course of the network's entire run.[3] The series was a joint production for UPN by Regan Jon Productions, Saradipity Productions, and Jump at the Sun Productions in association with Big Ticket Television.
The series, which ran on UPN from 1996 to 2001, followed the story of the Mitchell family living in the Leimert Park neighborhood of Los Angeles.
