Sugar and Spice aired from March until May 1990 on CBS.
The small town of Ponca City, Oklahoma, was the setting for this blue collar series about two middle-aged black sisters. Loretta and Vickilyn ( Loretta Devine, Vicilyn Reynolds) had very different personalities. Vickilyn was conservative and quiet, a divorcee making her living with Small World Miniatures, a mail-order business run out of her converted garage. Her gregarious sister Loretta, an aspiring singer with a roving eye for good-looking men, was biding time working as a hostess at Cafe Jacques, where the manager Jacques ( Leslie Jordan) was also seen. Living with them was their teenage niece Toby ( LaVerne Anderson), the only child of their late sister, whose good intentions were sometimes derailed when she took bad advice from her best friend Ginger ( Dana Hill). Bonnie ( Stephanie Hodge), who had a tempestuous relationship with her trucker husband Cliff ( Gerrit Graham), was Vickilyn's assistant at Small World Miniatures. Ralph and Brian ( Troy Searcy, Bumper Robinson) were schoolmates of Toby's.
