Now Morgan faces the tough task of shoring up NBC's struggling Tuesday-night lineup, having bumped ''Whoopi'' out of the leadoff spot. With his series, Morgan wants to present a more working-class New York City than ''The Cosby Show'' did. ''We're not quite the Huxtables -- we're a little to the left,'' he says of the Mitchells. ''We're from the streets. There's love and affection in the hood, and we're going to show that.'' While Tracy Mitchell might not boast as much street cred as Woodrow, he's not Ward Cleaver, either. ''We're going to keep our edge,'' he promises. ''Ain't nothing sappy about Tracy Morgan.''
