Remote patrol

Tonight are the season finales for the two UPN sitcoms that will be back in the fall, "Moesha" and "The Parkers," starting at 7 on Channel 29. ("Malcolm & Eddie," "Dilbert" and "Grown Ups" are no more.) Unlike a lot of comedies, "Moesha" is good at tackling serious topics without melodrama or awkwardness. In tonight's episode, Moesha's cousin Dorian (Brandy's real-life brother Ray J) is unrepentant even though he seems to be sinking deeper into trouble on the street. So Moesha's dad (William Allen Young) takes a drastic measure, and if you were him, you might, too. "Moesha's" sillier spinoff, "The Parkers," will finish its first season as the No. 1-rated show among African-American viewers. As is customary for finales, tonight's episode will see the ongoing romantic intrigues of both daughter (Countess Vaughn) and mother (Mo'Nique) take sudden twists. @ART CAPTION:Ray J @ART:Photo (color) >>>
