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?
Please don’t cancel!! Love this show!!
Love the show!! don’t end!! it’s so funny and grasps attention and the cast is amazing!!
Should definitely be renewed.
The current season with the political rallying/campaign manager got old after the first episode! The current season’s episodes unfortunately also do not include “Nikki” (Sherri Shepherd), and have rare appearances by “Barton” and “Lester,” whose interactions with “Boyce” and “Lolli” in the earlier seasons were hysterical! After happening to stumble upon this show last year, it was the first series in a long time where I actually laughed (Cedric the Entertainer as “Boyce” has great comedic timing that is hilarious and charismatic), and I ended up watching all of the seasons On Demand!
Good riddance!
Really sorry to hear this show is being cancelled. Each episode always ended with some sort of positive message. I really think a lot of people just didn’t know this show existed; I didn’t until season three. Hopefully this show will get a last minute renewal and maybe some better promoting.
Great Show! Previous seasons were better but still a good show.
Please renew “Soul Man” for another season!! I Love the show and the
actors!!
They should have a six season Cedric the Entertainer is so much fun 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
This show should be renewed.ithink it is funny. . Why do the good shows always get canceled.
I luv The Soul Man show …it’s very funny.
Show should have been cancelled two seasons ago..and what happen to their daughter ?
how could any person who loves jesus love this god less show pure trash the wife walks around boobs hanging out he well anything but religous i cant believe it was ever on tv
*****5 STAR SHOW! Please keep this hilarious heart-warming tv show on the air. Cedric has been one of my favorite Comedians for many years. He and Niecy Nash show what a healthy marriage looks like and offer a glimpse of what a Minister’s family life mixed with Church can be. I’ve been a P. K. (PREACHER’s Kid) for most of my life and these stories have menough truth to bring back memories to me. Sherri Shepherd has excellent comedy timing and talent IMO and should become a regular cast member! So much fun and deals with important issues with whimsy.… Read more »
I really enjoyed watching this show. This season could use some better writing with the political campaign episodes every week, but overall the show is Good. I believe it still has 2 years left at least that the show could keep going. I hope bland reconsideration.
I Love the show please don’t cancell. Very good show.I have been looking for it.It is no disrespect to the church.It’s comedy,nice to have something light hearted in these hard times.There are way worst shows (with nudity,sex,volger language) that are still on.Please bring soul man back.
