Melba Information

Melba is an American television sitcom which aired on CBS from January 28, 1986 until September 13, 1986. The series was a vehicle for singer/actress Melba Moore.

Summary

The show was about the home and work life of Melba Patterson (Moore), a divorced mother who was the director of New York's Manhattan Visitors Center. Melba was raising her nine-year-old daughter, Tracy (Jamilla Perry) with the help of her mother, Rose (Barbara Meek) and her white "sister," Susan Slater (Gracie Harrison). Melba and Susan had been close since childhood, since Rose was Susan's family's housekeeper when they were growing up. Jack (Lou Jacobi) and young Gil (Evan Mirand) worked for Melba at the visitors' center.

Cancellation

The show premiered on January 28, 1986, the day of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. CBS immediately pulled the show from the schedule after that. The remaining episodes were aired during the summer.
