Synopsis by Mark Deming

Four African-American women deal with dating, relationships, and the many perils of being single in this sophisticated situation comedy series. Joan (Tracee Ellis Ross) is a successful 29-year-old lawyer who is bright, principled, and interested in finding the right man, but she isn't about to bend over backwards to catch him. Maya (Golden Brooks) is Joan's assistant, who is eager to learn but lacks her mentor's grace and eloquence. Lynn (Persia White) is a self-styled bohemian who knew Joan in college and has an interest in New Age philosophies as well as free love. And Toni (Jill Marie Jones) is an unabashed man chaser who is interested in anyone who's male, good looking, and has a healthy bank account. Mara Brock Akil, a writer for the series Moesha and The Jamie Foxx Show, served as both writer and executive producer for Girlfriends; actor Kelsey Grammer also was a member of the show's production team. Girlfriends first aired on the UPN network on September 11, 2000.
