The Big House
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.

Seasons
In this clever reversal of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air", comedy superstar Kevin Hart (Ride Along, Think Like a Man) plays a spoiled rich kid in Malibu who, after his father is jailed for embezzlement, is sent to live with his auntie (Arnetia Walker) and uncle (Keith David) in a working class neighborhood in Philadelphia. Under the guidance of the loud and sometimes crude Cleveland family, Kevin gets a crash course in dating, religion, and education. Through a series of outrageously funny situations (often laced with genuine emotion), Kevin begins to realize that he has more in common with his common relatives than he ever imagined. Originally aired on ABC, "The Big House" co-stars Yvette Nicole-Brown (Community) and Faizon Love (Couples Retreat).
