Trivia
Eric Monte sued the producers claiming that he did not receive proper credit as the creator of the series. Monte only received a credit at the very end of the closing credits that read "Suggested by the American International picture Cooley High written by Eric Monte". He also claimed that he was promised a credit as a producer. He received an out-of-court settlement. See more »Quotes

First off, lay off the stereotyping comments. They portrayed 'some' of the characters as overweight because 'some' people are overweight, especially black women. 'Fat' people tend to be funny, peculiar? I have no complaints about this show even though I have had complaints about blacks on these boards in the past. This was a GREAT show and they were all very funny and worked together very well. Wish they could bring it back but Fred Berry is dead now. So bummer.
