It's a day of happy news for two sitcoms. TV Land has renewed its sitcom The Soul Man,
starring Cedric "The Entertainer" and Niecy Nash, for a fourth season.
The series, which also co-stars Wesley Jonathan, has been picked up for
12 episodes. Last season, The Soul Man premiered with a live
episode and saw great guest stars like Brandy, Martin Lawrence, B.o.B.,
David Alan Grier, Deion Sanders, Yvette Nicole Brown, Cedric Yarbrough
and TV Land's own Betty White. Season four will premiere in 2015. The Soul Man
follows R&B superstar-turned-minister Reverend Boyce "The Voice"
Ballentine (Cedric) after he relocated from Las Vegas to St. Louis with
his wife Lolli (Nash). While learning to adjust to their new humble
life, they have plenty of obstacles in their way, including Boyce's
brother Stamps (Jonathan), who only just moved out at the end of last
season. Over the last three seasons, The Soul Man averaged a
remarkable 3.19 rating among African-American Women 25-54 and a 2.65
rating with African-American Adults 25-54, posting triple digit gains
over channel prime average (Nielsen, L+7, 6/20/12-5/14/14, 30
Telecasts). The series has also averaged 1.2 million viewers series to
date, up +59% compared to channel prime average. It wasn't good news
though for TV Land's freshman sitcom Kirstie, starring Kirstie Alley, as the network did not order a second season. The jury is still out on current freshman comedy Jennifer Falls starring Jaime Pressly.
