On the second season premiere (7/6c), Whoopi Goldberg joins the cast in a recurring role of Louise Clarkson, a snooty grandmother who moves in next door and immediately clashes with Chris' mom (the amazing Tichina Arnold) over who should be named the block-watch captain.

Goldberg who herself is a fan of the sitcom will appear on a regular basis during the show's sophomore season.

The comedy which is set is 1980s New York comes along with a groovy soundtrack and Chris Rock's voiceover commentary about his childhood memories, delivered in his trademark barking manner, thrown in between the actors' dialogue.

The show that aired last season on UPN, will be kicking off a night of sitcom programming on The CW at an earlier time of 7/6c.
