This is near the top of my list of favorite shows, I liked every season, except for Season 5. One of my favorite lines was in the pilot when Sandra thought she was got the building in the deceased landlord's will and when the lawyer read the part where the landlord said he left the building to the woman who made the best apple pie he had ever tasted, Sandra stood up and said "Apple Pie? We never used apple pie".

About five years ago, TVOne used to air "227" and "Amen" back-to-back, they even had promos with Marla Gibbs and Sherman Hemsley boxing in a ring. :P

I was watching an ep on YouTube only about a week ago, and in the comments somebody said that the episode which was about a choir competition was Tiffany's last.

Remember Rose's husband played by the super tall guy who played the Predator and Harry (as in "and the Hendersons"). He passed away, he contracted HIV through a blood transfusion.

Saturday night NBC was THE BEST!! :wub:

They did! I watched it, that's where I got some of the trivia I've shared in these thread. :D

And yes, that was her IRL husband too. Luther Vandross sang at their wedding on the show. ^_^

Ugh...well then yeah, she needed to disappear after the novelty wore off. I much preferred her on "The Parkers," which I'm sure I'd be alone in waxing poetic about that show lol

Great, now I got 6 parts of Marla Gibbs to watch instead of doing what I'm supposed to be doing this week. The "Great" is not sarcastic, by the way.

A supergenius/college student at only 10 years old who could SANG. :rolleyes::D Actually, I remember very few Alexandria-centric eps, but I do remember when they did "The Wiz", Alexandria as Dorothy, Rose as The Tin Man, Sandra as The Cowardly Lion... was Meeery The Scarecrow?

She was a supersmart kid who came to D.C. for college and somehow or another the Jenkinses became her charge family.

LOL I think "Meeery" is the definitive spelling of the way Sondra said it. There were no A's in there at all.

I think that's the story about Alexandria, SFK. I don't really remember much about her either because I do remember how she always wore that headband on her juicy curls. I know Regina Hall had to be pissed that they saddled Brenda with a "little sister."

    • Right. Literally for decades, soaps mesmerized their audiences with tales of romance, family conflict, class struggles, and recognizable interpersonal-relationship sagas. We didn't need relentless, heavy violence. We didn't need clones, mad scientists, extra-terrestrials and demon possessions. We didn't need gaggles of plastic himbos and bimbos pushing beloved vets off-screen. We only needed to see people whom we cared about, and the intelligent, moving progression of their lives. Flashy sets, gaudy gimmicks, and high-falutin' hairdos be damned. The characters and the words were important.
    • Absolutely! Brad should've simply moved on from Lunacy. There's no point of freeing her, if you're not going to at least make an attempt at redemption or incorporating her into the fold. It happened with Quinn, who committed quite a few felonies before become the Forrester Matriarch.  Heck, keep Lunacy in prison and have Poppy/Finn discover that she gave birth to twins - 'Sunny' could've come on with a clean slate and still had Sheila/Finn and all the other drama. It certainly couldn't have been worse than what we've witnessed with the destruction of $B.    
    • I would enjoy it if Swan popped up on BTG as an old one time friend/mentor of Anita’s for a cameo. This is just

    • I had totally forgotten that Courtney story. I see Burton was already phoning it in by that point.
    • omg I completely missed that, but now when I see it typed here in your post, it's obvious icky cringe. So now I just checked and Tomas said that -- on May 27 that he likes the author Carl Ivati.  He said it with sort of an accent, so I didn't catch the stupid joke or think about the spelling.   I remember when that aired, that I actually said to myself at the time, "I wonder if that's a Latin American author, and I will have to google him later." And now I see your post, and I see. Well that's cringe, and I feel stupid to have fallen for it.

    • There's a lot you don't need if you have the writing.  You don't even need large casts!  You could make do with a cast of 12-18 actors if the writing is there.
    • Thank you. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with sleeping around if your spouse actually knows about it. She’s just a cheating slut.
    • OMG...Robert Mandan! And Donna Mills is a child. I keep hoping for more of early Ross/Vanessa.
    • I get your point, but I also know that if the roles were reversed -- if a man were screwing around on a woman this way -- everyone would be all "All with his head!" When I say Vanessa needs therapy, I'm actually being kind, because I could begin and end with the fact that she's a cheating slut.
    • Is nobody going to mention the cringefest that is 'Carl Ivati'?
