The show mostly revolved around the conflict of Darryl experiencing upward social mobility and getting rich while leaving his mostly black poor neighborhood behind. There was a constant focus on Darryl trying to maintain his blackness and connections to his culture while dealing with living in a white neighborhood and dealing with common racial microaggressions.

The show was canceled by ABC after two seasons after ABC revamped the Creator/{{TGIF}} block. It then moved to UPN and aired for two more seasons before ending after the fourth season.
