1. Loved what Shanda and Scoop had to say. I am always looking for ways to improve my marriage. Why not I say! Love is good and I have a great love saying on my website www.adomacraft.com - it comes from Africa too.

2. I saw the show and FAT MAN SCOOP has an incredible voice for real, they love each other and it shows.

.... You have NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE in life

Greta Johnson at 3:06AM on Oct 15th 2008

3. I haven't seen the show yet but i think its wonderful to see people that are real and classy doin their thang. Fatman your refreshing and made me smile, Shaunda your beautiful inside and out and its a good look for all women. The Other good thing to remember in relationships is "ALWAYS KEEP GOD FIRST" becausethat way no matter what your faced with if you reflect back on the fact that he's your rock and foundation everything else will drift away or work out fine.

4. Eeeuuuuu!
D.i.v.o.r.c.e....

Helen Thomas at 8:50AM on Oct 15th 2008

5. never even heard of the show.
then again, I'm not into all the reality t.v. b.s.
Its ruined tv.
And every show out there, is so far from reality, its pathetic.

kat at 9:28AM on Oct 15th 2008

6. Another reason to turn off the television! Jeez, has black Tv gone down hill this fast?

Concerned Black Man at 9:53AM on Oct 15th 2008

7.
This show is a new high in "LOW"! Both sad and pathetic!

eric at 10:40AM on Oct 15th 2008

8. Love what they're doing. Hope they run all the way to the bank with it. Get in where ya fit in! whoever doesn't like it is really upset that they did not think of this bull s#%@ first.

Eric Rayfield at 11:13AM on Oct 15th 2008

9. MY COMMENT IS THAT FATMAN YOUR SHAPE IS SO DISGUSTING IN THAT TIGHT T SHIRT. NOW IF YOU HIDE THAT SHAPE I WILL BE ABLE TO WATCH INSTEAD I JUST LISTEN.STAY IN THE BED.0THER THAN THAT SCOOP I LOVE U AND SHANDA

freda mitchell at 11:49AM on Oct 15th 2008

10. I think that we could learn a thing or two from Scoop & Shanda! I know that me & my girl talk about different ways that I can satisfy HER, i see no problem with Scoop & Shana giving us advice on our love life! So, stop the hate and learn something from this young, attractive couple! That our problem we don't talk enough! Big ups, Scoop & Shana, keep doing what you love doing! BANG BANG BANG

H. FLOYD at 12:25PM on Oct 15th 2008

11. I loved the show its was refreshing to view a show with a real married couple who were well seasoned into the relationship. This is what America needs to see a married couple not another baby momma or live in partners, because we as a society have slowed down tremendously with marrying. Shanda resembles the beautiful Chaka Khan.

shalanda robinson at 1:07PM on Oct 15th 2008

12. Please anyone could have a man if they don't care about looks!!They are not sexy they need to have someone teach them proper eatting habits you can obviously see when they are behind closed doors the only thing they are hot and heavy about is FOOD!Why do our examples of positive married blk people have to be a bafoom who walks around looking nasty in boxers and his moo moo wig wearing wife who dosent have enough sence to tell him to shut up,ooohh yeah he has money!I been married for 12yrs and am a positive 30 something blk couple doing our thing in NNJ!!Give me a show!

Nikki6 at 2:44PM on Oct 15th 2008

13. That ole flabby heifer needs to put some clothes on. Is he trying to send the African American public into shock. im ashamed to be a man of color. all because of this reality tv crap. if ya ax me, yalls needa pull that senseless hoohaa off the air. its only gonna pull down the morals of the African American people. I thought you were supposed to look presentable at big events like thisa here yall. shooooot. i done seen this mess comin fo yearss. holy sheep shoot man. its ok, tho. ima stay calm.not loose my cool. but any way, if any one is readin this. im sure there is one thing that we can ALL agree on, and that is OBAMA 08! thanks and have a great day.

concerned person of color at 2:50PM on Oct 15th 2008

14. Now black folks need to be told and shown how to be loving and how to make love. I tend to disagree with the person who thought they are a seasoned couple.
Are we so shallow that we see five years as a "seasoned" couple? or do marriages just not last that long these days?
You want seasoned, talked to Denzel and his wife, but then..they have class and leave their bedroom at home when they are out in public.
When will it end?

Zenobia at 4:45PM on Oct 15th 2008

15. This comment is to Nikki6. YOU NEED GRAMMER CLASSES. Reread that paragraph you wrote...you could use some .. and ,, in a few places...Anyways..All of you are haters! Their is a beautiful thing. Only God can judge so you have no room going around judging people's appearances. They love each other so that is all that counts. Don't you people have anything better to do than sit on the internet and HATE on people. STOP THE B!TCH@SSNESS
