Under One Roof was a Family Drama series that aired on CBS during the Spring of 1995. Set in Seattle, the show follows the daily struggles and challenges of a working-class African-American family residing in a duplex. The Langston family is at the center of the series, with Nesbit "Neb" Langston (portrayed by James Earl Jones), a widowed police officer, residing in one unit with his adopted son Marcus (Merlin Santana) and his daughter Ayesha (Monica Ridge). Meanwhile, Neb's adult son Ron (Joe Morton), along with his wife Maggie (played by Vanessa Bell Calloway), and their children Charlie (Essence Atkins) and Derrick (Ronald Joshua Scott) occupy the other unit.The series was not a hit for CBS, as it was a midseason replacement and only ran for six episodes. African-American cable TV network TVOne would later broadcast the series years later, as it was one of the few family dramas made with a Black cast.
