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."

    • Also, someone knocked over the head (usually in the D Mansion) and imprisoned in the secret tunnel room or whatever it was. I swear that must have happened at least a dozen times the last few years, and each time it drove me crazy! 
    • HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! And here I am rewatching and...

    • 5-9   Honestly? There's nothing going on. And yet unlike Y&R, I'm not bored. But I just think that's because of the acting going on as they play the beats in this Liam dying storyline. Well, that and the outfits.   If there's anything I'm liking it's the continued drama of Daphne going after Carter and not letting anyone get in her way. Not Brooke. Not Katie. NO ONE.    And while I love TK in those glasses, I am not here for a Brooke/Ridge/Taylee triangle.    And of course, Luna would try to use this Liam mess to get closer to Finn.   Okay week.
    • The acting during those Sarah scenes on Friday was horrific.
    • So true. Their hypocrisy is on another level. When Anita called Ted a coward because he used Bill as a fixer, I almost choked on my Ritz. And Dani calling Ted worse than Bill as a husband because Bill never pretended to be a good person? Then why stay with him for decades and continue to kiss up to him, Dani? I was glad when Bill told Anita he wouldn't be her punching bag. Not for me. I can think of 100 other actors who would have smoking hot chemistry with LB. Lindstrom does not. I see zero chemistry. None. Joey isn't sexy or scary.   -- Mona was awesome today. -- Why was Eva playing cards in the back room of the casino? -- Can they make Anita any more sanctimonious and self-righteous? -- Dani said Anita had Ted shook. LOL. Really?       No. But I see what you're trying to do. This is a SOAP OPERA. Characters HAVE to make mistakes and sin and screw up and cheat. That's the deal. I understand the concern that we have 2 leading Black men who have cheated on their wives. I do. But I also understand that this is SOAPS 101. Are we going to hear complaints every time a Black character messes up???    
    • Gone are the days where at least once every week, a character would pull a gun on someone (Ron you really turned gun violence into a joke on this show)
    • Oooooo I like these. I like we are on the same page about Little Brownie Man. And I hope to remember this at the end of June to see how much of it came to pass. I definitely feel that the Eva vs Kat story is about to reaaaally get going.    As for the B/C stories, it's funny you mentioned the Joey/Vanessa/Doug story first. Because out of all of those, it is the only one that has enough structure and build to it that it could keep going as a B story that could eventually climax. I think the only POV we don't have in it is Joey's at this point because Month 2 put in the work to give us Doug's and Vanessa's and they are now circling each other and their relationship. And we still need to know Joey's endgame.   Why we gotta pick on Jacob and Naomi? We need that goody good couple. lol. They talked about how they got together. Mind you, very briefly. But we do need to know a little bit more about both. Something I was hoping we were getting by having them in their own stories....him with the crooked cop, her with the lawsuit...but it didn't turn out as hoped. Hopefully, that won't be the case with June though.   Yeah, I want to see more of THAT Ashley.  I finally had to break down and explain to my manager why I keep laughing every time I see the bottle of Febreze at work. The product placement definitely be working.

    • That is a specific example where I would agree with those fans so I would be critical of the execs doing so. I frankly think that "caring" in this regard is not conducive to dialog. Basically you point out its very subjective nature. What is caring to one person might be callous disregard to another. I suggest it is a trap & we fell in it!
