80's tv show HOMEROOM - Pilot Episode | ABC 7 - 1989

#80stvshow #80stvsitcom #themesong
Gentle soul Darryl Harper leaves the fast paced world of advertising for teaching fourth grade which his medical student wife Vicki supports. Not so much her father Phil, who focuses on the money Darryl isn't making. The kids and brother Anthony keep things light.
City of Los Angeles Resolution (1989) hailed Darryl Sivad's Homeroom as a positive role model for inner-city children. Whereas...shows that too often portray the inner-city and its residents as violent and hopeless, "HOMEROOM" is a ray of hope.

Whoever wrote the theme song🎶 to this show & those children, at the time, singing 🎶 did a superb job!👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

A very solid show that got cancelled way too soon in my mind...

[@TheMilfalicious1]

I loved watching this show

[@rizinggodfist3049]

Zero argument 👍🏾

[@roshondabowens9809]

That's was my favorite show

[@gene5148]

Seems like all the shows with solid values got canceled way too soon, everything now is vulgarity, sex and violence, what a shame. I am thankful to KZbin and these downloads, I hardly what TV now.

Bill Cobbs is still shining at 89 years young.

[@Koolazzmike]

There were a lot of good short lived black sitcoms that got canceled and not given a chance to succeed around this time

[@shurronfarmer]

This series is another in the 80s black sitcom 'renaissance'.

OMG I use to watch this show when I was a lil girl and I loved it. I was soo mad when it stop airing on ABC. It really was a great show. I thought Daryl and Donald were hilarious together. I have been looking for this show for the longest but I couldn't remember the name. I just remembered Daryl and would type the Daryl show. 😆🤣😂 Thank you for posting this show. Gosh I miss my childhood 😢.

[@shareofmoney]

This was another one of those good 80s show cancelled way too early. I like this show and glad it is put on KZbin.

[@IamBillyDee]

Thank you! I just found another tape! Gotta get it digitized and then I will upload a new episode or more depending what's in the tape!

I was in the 4th grade when i use to watch this on ABC i just wish it would of stay on longer Because it really was a good show.

Thanks for bringing this back! This was a classic gone too soon and would have done well on TGIF with Family Matters and Full House if launched in 1990 or 1991.

[@nlee4566]

Right! I was thinking the same thing.

[@sarahsimpkins1311]

It would of done good in the TGIF line up this show came on back in 1989

[@chluckey]

Strongly agree!!😊❤😢..heartbreaking this show was cut wayyyyy too short!.😡😠😞

[@janellejulianajoy]

Omg! This takes me back! I haven't seen this since 1992 or so when reruns were being shown on BET.

[@dlighted1277]

I kept singing a piece of the theme song, "Do unto others, you'll soon discover that, what you do will come back to you". I had to reverse think it out because I couldn't remember Darryl Sivad's name, but I knew his face, and after a little digging, I attached the face, to the name, to the show, to the theme song!😓😄. Long story short...T.V. back in the day was great! Too much brain dead reality mess today. Forgettable. I'm glad I grew up at a time of quality programming, which was not only entertaining, but also educational. Thanks to the poster for uploading this video🙏.

Look at Tre from Boyz N Da Hood. I guess he was in that class the year before he was in the class that he got in trouble in and got sent to live with his father!

[@Chloeceegaming..7253]

Wow, look at the dude from The Parkers. Ms. Kimberly Ann Parker husband. He was so cute.

I remember watching a couple of episodes. I think I watched it on Sunday nights on ABC.

I have been WAITING for someone to post these episodes…primarily because of the theme song….since KZbin premiered! I found the Mr. T version of it and rejoiced. But I am SO glad you posted this. Thx a lot

KZbin is such a time portal I'm seeing so many shows I have never even seen before like Getting By, Grownups 1998 , Just the Ten of Us, Sinbad (a 90s show ), and Thea.

About time. Thanks for the post.

This theme song almost sounds like a New Edition song, although The Dimples performed it.

[@kinglord7707]

They use this same song with a young Shanice for the Mr T video special Be somebody or be somebody fool

I really don't remember this but it seemed good.

[@UnknownAGENT007]

There needs to be an app (besides KZbin) that has all the cancelled tv shows on it. That way they can live on for new audiences to find them

[@evanthomas4468]

This show was funny. It should've been on longer.

[@christophergibbs8523]

I was a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for one day in the Bronx and for two years in the hood in Tucson and El Paso. These inner-city youths are just so precious. Many write them off. God bless Mr. Harper for not doing so.

I dont remember this show at all. Oh well

[@OpentoPublic]

👍👍👍

[@OnlineAffiliateStudio]

I remember this show as a kid. As an adult it makes me realize how divided and down they wanted to always keep black people below. A positive classroom structured show like this would probably have given a more positive spin on the school structure especially when it came down to our people. Might not have ended up with such bad environments in our country today. Just my opinion

[@cityhawk]

Wasn’t Darryl on the show The Naked Truth? The first season was terrific, but seasons two and three were horrid.

[@altonpettijohn2189]

He’s too positive for TV
