Around this time last year, TV One tested "Love That Girl,"  its first original scripted sitcom, executive produced by comic star Martin Lawrence,  with a limited run of four episodes.

Guess the audience responded positively because tonight (9 p.m.) the network airs two episodes of the half-hour sitcom as part of a full season.

If you missed the first run, the show stars Tatyana Ali (Ashley from "The Fresh Price of Bel-Air) as Tyana Jones, a young divorcee who has returned home to work with her father (Phil Morris) in his real estate business. She lives with her unemployed, aspiring stand up comedian brother Latrell (Alphonso McAuley), and has a best friend (Kendyl Joi) who owns a hair salon.

Tonight at 9, TV One premieres "Love That Girl," its first
original scripted sitcom, that stars Tatyana Ali and Phil Morris, is executive produced by Martin Lawrence and has a theme song (and title) provided by soul singer Raphael Saadiq.

Oh how I wish I liked it.

But I did not. "Love That Girl" is one of those broad comedies that tries to mine laughs out of stereotypes and outlandish characters.
