Half & Half is an American sitcom that aired on UPN from September 23, 2002, to May 15, 2006. The show focuses on the lives of two paternal half-sisters in their twenties who were estranged throughout their childhood, and are finally developing a close relationship. The series is set in San Francisco.
It was the second-most-watched show on UPN's Monday night line-up (next to Girlfriends) and fourth overall on the network. The show was on The CW's first draft line-up in March 2006, but due to several circumstances—including The CW's contractual obligation to pick up Reba, the uncancelling of All of Us, and the pick-up of the Girlfriends spin-off The Game—Half & Half was left off the final Fall 2006 schedule and ended production. The series has aired in reruns on Global TV in Canada, Trouble in the United Kingdom and in local syndication in the United States. Starting October 5, 2015 reruns began airing on Bounce TV.
The plot of the show mainly centers around the lives of the two half sisters, Mona and Deedee, and their growing relationship. Mona, the eldest, is at first resentful of Deedee, whom their father now spent more time with. Mona, on the other hand was left to live with just her mother and thus became to more level headed of the two. Deedee was the second born and was spoiled unconditionally. She grew to be the more fashionable, up-scale, materialistic of the two, and sometimes also a bit dim-witted. The two sisters, throughout the series, begin to grow on each other and learn the feelings each has harbored for the other since childhood, get over them, and deal with the here and now issues including dating men, dealing with co-workers and bosses, and dealing with each other as people. They learn to love each other dearly and quickly take on the roles that would have been theirs had they spent more time together- Mona acting as the big sister often trying to protect Deedee from one thing or another, and Deedee looking up to Mona and asking for advice, as well as acting as each other's confidant and mutual sibling annoyance.
