Jones was impressed by the idea and arranged a meeting with NBC chief Brandon Tartikoff. Medina pitched the idea to Quincy Jones, who had just signed a TV deal with Time-Warner. "That way we could explore black-on-black prejudice as well as black class differences", Medina said in an interview for Ebony magazine. However, given that by then a black character living with a white family was a concept that had been done multiple times on TV, Medina decided to change the rich white family to a rich black family. Medina decided to use this part of his life as the main focus of the show. Medina had grown up poor in East Los Angeles but his life changed when he befriended a rich white teenager, whose family lived in Beverly Hills and allowed Medina to live with them. In 1990, music manager Benny Medina, along with his business partner, real estate mogul Jeff Pollack, decided to market a TV story based on Medina's life.
