New Attitude is an American sitcom that aired on ABC from August 8 to September 7, 1990. Based on the play Beauty Shop by Shelly Garrett, the series aired for six episodes during ABC's TGIF lineup on Fridays.
Synopsis The St. James sisters had sunk everything they could beg or borrow into their new business venture, "New Attitude" beauty salon. The partnership was 50-50: outrageous, try-anything Yvonne (Phyllis Yvonne Stickney) got them into trouble, and conservative, sensible Vicki (Sheryl Lee Ralph) got them out. Lamarr (Morris Day) is their colorful top hairdresser, the "prince of perms"; Taylor (Karen Bankhead), the ambitious but inept receptionist (she had flunked the beautician's exam 11 times); and Leon (Earl Billings), the landlord.
New Attitude aired a total of six episodes (eight were produced) before being canceled by ABC in September 1990.
Cast Sheryl Lee Ralph as Vicki St. James Phyllis Yvonne Stickney as Yvonne St. James Karen Bankhead as Taylor Bebe Drake-Massey as BeBe Morris Day as Lamarr Larenz Tate as Chilly D.
