Hangin' with Mr. Cooper: Season 04 (1995)

Theatrical Release Information  |  See Details About All Versions

When Season Four of Hangin' with Mr. Cooper came to an end, it appeared as though Mark Cooper (Mark Curry) and Vanessa Russell (Holly Robinson Peete) were about to permanently move from the cozy suburban Oakland house that they shared (platonically, of course) with music teacher Geneva Lee (Saudra Quarterman) and her daughter Nicole (Raven-Symone); Mark had accepted a position as basketball coach at Georgetown University, while Vanessa had gone off on a honeymoon to New Guinea. But as the series' fifth season begins, Mark has gotten word that he has been fired from Georgetown, and Vanessa wearily returns from the "honeymoon from hell" minus her wealthy fiancé. By the time Mark discovers that his "firing" was merely a practical joke, he has resumed his old job as substitute teacher at Oakbridge High through the intervention of his roommate Geneva, who has been promoted to school principal upon the departure of P.J. Moore. Though Mark and Vanessa are still adhering to their "hands off each other" policy and are dating other people, it is obvious that Mark has fallen in love with Vanessa, and he spends most of the season trying to get her to accept at least one of his many proposals. Just when it appears that she will give him an answer, the season abruptly ends--and since the series would not return the following fall, viewers felt a bit cheated that they were left up in the air as to the ultimate outcome of the Mark-Vanessa relationship. In addition to such familiar supporting actors as Marquise Wilson (Tyler Foster) and Omar Gooding (Earvin Rodman), several guest stars grace the fourth season of Hangin' with Mr. Cooper) with their presence, notably basketball legend Julius "Dr. J" Erving and future Oscar winner Jamie Foxx. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
