All of Us is an Americansitcom that premiered on theUPN network in the United States on September 16, 2003, where it aired for its first three seasons. On October 1, 2006, the show moved toThe CW, a new network formed by the merger of UPN andThe WB (whose sister companyWarner Bros. Television produced this series), where it aired for one more season before being cancelled on May 15, 2007.^[1]

The series, loosely based on theblended family of creator and executive producersJada Pinkett Smith andWill Smith,^[2] revolved around Robert James Sr. (Duane Martin), a divorced television entertainment reporter with a young son, Robert "Bobby" James Jr. (Khamani Griffin), and his fiancée Tia Jewel (Elise Neal), a kindergarten teacher who helped him through the breakup of his first marriage.

Robert shares custody of his son with his ex-wife Neesee (LisaRaye McCoy), with whom he shares a tenuously friendly relationship for the sake of their son.

Robert also finds himself in a difficult situation, attempting to maintain the peace, however uneasy, between his ex-wife and his fiancée. Friends of the couple include Dirk Black (Tony Rock), Robert's single best friend and producer, and Tia's best friend and fellow teacher Jonelle Abrahams (Terri J. Vaughn).

In season three, Tia breaks her engagement to Robert, leaving a newly single Robert faced with a situation where Neesee must move in with him and Bobby temporarily after her apartment building is destroyed by fire. In addition to Tia, two other supporting characters, Jonelle and Turtle (James Vincent), were written out of the series. In season four,Laivan Greene joined the cast as Courtney, Dirk's long-lost daughter previously portrayed byRaven Goodwin in the third season's two-part episodes titled "Surprise, Surprise".

In June 2005,Elise Neal, who portrayed Tia Jewel, announced that she would not be returning for the third season of the series, claiming that marital issues between Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith were negatively impacting the show's work environment.^[3] In August 2005,Terri J. Vaughn who played Jonelle Abrahams, and James Vincent, who played Turtle, also announced they would not be returning to the series due to contract issues.

In November 2005,Terri J. Vaughn returned to play Jonelle in a guest appearance for the third season's two-part episodes, titled "Legal Affairs". James Vincent returned to play Turtle in a guest appearance in the third season episode "Creeping with the Enemy".

On May 15, 2007, The CW canceledAll of Us, along with many other programs that originated from UPN and The WB.^[1][4]
