Two girls. Same city…different networks.

In 1996 ABC unlocked the TV series ‘Clueless‘ following the success of the movie of the same name and a year later, with its sights set black audiences home and away, UPN built ‘Moesha’ which starred the singer Brandy.

It wasn’t long, as both shows rocked their respective networks’ worlds with superb ratings, before fans cried out for a crossover episode but saw their hopes dashed when it became clear that the rivalry between said networks meant it was impossible.

Then, the impossible happened.

Much to UPN’s delight, structural changes at ABC saw it forced to abandon ‘Clueless’ clearing the way for it to swoop down and rescue the series from cancellation. What this meant?

The ditzy Cher and the sassy Moesha were now sisters.

Two years would pass before the network answered their fans’ prayers by unlocking a crossover episode in 1999 and today, in honour of the epic TV moment, we celebrate it by making it the subject of this week’s edition of ‘Retro Rewind.’
