ok i was obsessed with southern california when i was in jr high and i loved this made for tv movie, and i've been wondering wtf it was ever since.
this movie is about a bunch of black kids who i think were orphaned? i think they get a foster family? i have a feeling they were singers but i don't remember.
in one scene one of the kids is crying hysterically thinking he killed his mom because she died during childbirth.
at the VERY end of it they're on the beach and one of them goes I LOVE CALIFORNIA!!!!!!!!!!
haha if i find out what this movie was i'll eat my shoe
help me find this TV movie i saw like 15 years ago (3098 views)

dude i found my favorite movie from when i was like 6-7 years old in france because of that site, i love you baner!! i've wanted to know my whole adult life. i even convinced me 2nd grade teacher to let me and my best friend at the time "perform" a scene in the movie in front of our class, since the movie involved a band. i just looked it up on imdb and this is the first user comment on the page:
"In France,This film was so popular they showed it again and again but nobody complained about it, because it's such a good film.The music is fabulous,the actors are good and the story is very interesting. Even if it was made nearly in the 90s you get a real 80s feel out of that film,The costumes like those black gloves and the blue jeans with pieces of it cut out,the music which is mainly synthesizer and even the location,everybody who was a child during that period would know what I mean. There is plenty of TV family film out there but none as good as this one. This film is a TV classic,like Mac Daniels gangs would say CHALENGEEEEEEER!!!!!!. "
no wonder i thought i saw it a million times, they kept showing it in france!

The series centered around seven brothers and sisters in the O'Fallon Park neighborhood of St. Louis who lose their parents and are being raised by the eldest brother, Josh Jerrico (Ralph Louis Harris). The early episodes focused on the siblings attempting to not be split up by authorities. This lead to Josh, the eldest brother who was trying to raise the family alone, to dress in drag and pose as older guardian, Aunt Jelcinda (also known as "Mama J"), to fool their case worker, Alana Michaels (Kimberly Kates). Alana quickly sees through the charade, but decides to help the family stay together. Alana and the family attempt to fool Alana's boss, Mr. Ormsby (Roger Aaron Brown), that "Mama J" is actually taking care of the family. Problems arise when Mr. Ormsby becomes enamored with "Mama J" and pursues her. Ultimately, "Mama J" tells Mr. Ormsby that she cannot enter into a relationship with him because she is focused on the well being of the children.
The series was criticized for ripping off the 1993 comedy, Mrs. Doubtfire, though the situation of a man pretending to be a woman was not a new concept, and the situations on the show did not necessarily resemble the movie. The series is also very similar to the FOX drama Party of Five.
In 1995, the show was retooled and the Aunt Jelcinda/Mama J storyline was abandoned. The episode entitled, The Boarder, depicted Josh being granted full custody of his siblings, thus ending the need for the Aunt Jelcinda/Mama J character. The characters of Alana Michaels and Mr. Ormsby were also written out of the show, and a new character, Scotti Decker (T'Keyah Crystal Keymáh) was introduced. She was a beautiful, young professional contractor who moved into the family's basement to become their tenant, boarder, and very possibly a new love interest to any of the older Jerrico brothers.
