Thea is an American sitcom that premiered September 8, 1993, on ABC, and last aired on February 16, 1994, for a total of 19 episodes. Starring comedian Thea Vidale, the series marked the first time an African American female comedian was the star of a series named after her. Thea Vidale starred as Thea Turrell, a widowed mother of four who worked in a Houston, Texas, supermarket by day and ran a single-chair beauty salon on the corner of her porch in the evenings.
