One on One is an American sitcom airing on UPN. The series stars Flex Alexander as a single sportscaster, who becomes a full-time dad when his teenage daughter moves in with him when his ex-wife decides to accept a job out of the country.

The show will be moving to The CW in January 2007. It is unknown whether My Network TV will pick up the series.

Premise

The sitcom takes place in Baltimore, Maryland. Sportscaster Flex Washington (Flex Alexander) reluctantly gives up his bachelor ways when his 14-year-old daughter, Breanna (Kyla Pratt), decides to move in with him after his ex-wife (guest star Tichina Arnold) decides to accept a job offer out of the country.

Supporting Characters

Duane Knox (Kelly Perine) is Flex's best friend and godfather to Breanna. He is a used car salesman and a constant presence in their lives. Also around were Breanna's best friend, Spirit (Sicily Sewell), and Arnaz (Robert Ri'chard), a rock-star wanna-be whom Breanna develops a crush for.

Later developments

One on One was created by Eunetta T. Boone, who later devised Cuts as a spinoff from One on One with some character crossovers. In an episode airing on One on One, entitled "Phatheadz", special guest star Marques Houston returns as Flex's brother, Kevin Barnes when a hair-care mogul buys their family barbershop, "Phatheadz", and forces his spoiled daughter Tiffany (Shannon Elizabeth) to co-manage the salon with Kevin. Although the episode served as a backdoor pilot in hopes of winning a time-slot on the 2004-2005 fall season, the series (renamed as Cuts) later debuted as a mid-season replacement in 2005. Characters from both shows made occasional guest appearances on the other show.

The fourth season marked the final season for Kelly Perine and Sicily Sewell (the actors were fired due to the network issuing pay cuts to some of their series for the upcoming 2005-2006 season). In order to keep the show going, the writers and producers decided to take the series in a new direction for the fifth (and current) season. After graduating from high school, Breanna decides to move from Baltimore to attend college in Los Angeles with Arnaz by her side. Wanting to pursue films, Flex Alexander decided to appear in only a few episodes, allowing his character, Flex, to occasionally visit Breanna when his job allows.

New Characters

Four new characters are added to the show for the fifth season. Cash Bagen (Jonathan Chase), a cocky photographer who aspires to be a filmmaker; Lisa Sanchez (Camille Mana), a materialistic, underachieving college student; Darrell "D-Mack" McGinty (Ray-J), the hip-hop obsessed college student who is really just another boy from the suburbs; and Sara Crawford (Nicole Paggi), a stylish, career-challenged young woman who is constantly in search of love.
