2004 · 1 season

A breezy, joke-a-minute fish-out-of-water sitcom that coasts on broad gags and easy charm rather than depth.

Overview
The Big House is an American prime time television sitcom starring actor/comedian Kevin Hart. It ran on the ABC television network in April 2004, lasting for only six episodes. The series represents a mirror-opposite of the NBC sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Kevin Hart is a wealthy, pampered student from Malibu. After his father is arrested and imprisoned for embezzlement, Kevin moves to Philadelphia to live with his working-class aunt, uncle and cousins, and enrolls in Drexel University.
