TV show description:
A spin-off of Hot in Cleveland, this sitcom revolves around Boyce “The Voice” Ballentine (Cedric the Entertainer). He lives the high life in Las Vegas, placing at the top of the music charts, when he gets “the calling.”
As a result, he decides to relocate to St. Louis with his family to become a preacher in the church of his former minister father, Barton Moses Ballentine (John Beasley). Making the change isn’t as smooth as he expected and must deal with the ups and downs of his church and family life.
Boyce’s wife Lolli (Niecy Nash) — now a beauty salon owner — and daughter Lyric (Jazz Raycole) aren’t exactly thrilled about giving up their fabulous superstar life for a new humble one. Fletcher Emmanuel “Stamps” Ballentine (Wesley Jonathan) is Boyce’s carefree and womanizing younger brother.
Episode #54 — Boyce Don’t Cry
Election Day arrives and Boyce feels overwhelmed by the impact his campaign has had on his family — Barton is still in hospital and Stamps is moving away. Boyce still needs to win his wife Lolli’s vote.
First aired: June 22, 2016
What do you think? Do you like The Soul Man TV series? Do you think it should have ended or been renewed for a sixth season?
I love this show so much I hate that it was cancelled. And Niecy Nash is the best I love her, she’s like the auntie I have never met LOL.
Love this show , hated it’s cancelled! Clean show, best shows for a family to watch.
I love this show. Good clean humor. Wish it could continue. No other show like this on TV
Bring it back I enjoyed it
I need this wholesome soulful show with Boyce and the whole gang !!! Lester is shaping up to be hilarious.
And here in Richmond our mayor is also a huge church pastor
My heart is broken!!! I looked forward to sitting down and watching Soul Man each week. The whole cast was just soo funny and each could hold their own! The chemistry between Cedric and Neicy Nash was magical! Please bring the show back!!!!!!!
