Grown Ups (1999-2000) sitcom an American sitcom that aired on the UPN network from August 23, 1999 to May 22, 2000. Starring Jaleel White, the series was created by Matthew Miller and based on a story written by White.[1] Grown Ups follows the lives of three post-college friends who are coming to terms with adulthood. J. Calvin Frazier is a 24-year-old man whose roommate just left town nearly leaving him homeless. J. also learns that his high school crush Melissa (Tammy Townsend) is engaged to another man. With the help of his best friend Gordon (Dave Ruby) and Gordon's wife Shari (Marissa Ribisi), J. attempts to deal with his problems and adjust to life as a grown up. In the pilot episode, Soleil Moon Frye appeared as Robin Carlucci, J.'s new roommate who wrongly assumes that J. is gay. The series was retooled after the pilot and Frye's character was dropped.

He was one of three post-college friends trying to deal with adulthood. Soleil Moon Frye ('Punky Brewster') was in the pilot for an extra dose of nostalgia, but the show went in a different direction and that was her only episode. 'Grown Ups' ran for one season. The theme music is by Quincy D Jones III (son of THE Quincy Jones), performed by Tiionne 'T-Boz' Watkins.
