Yes, really love all the Sitcoms back then because the actors are amazing.

[@Heartbeatz31]

Ain't that Smokey mama from Friday. . . " Make it enough!!" . . .Wow what a great find❤❤❤

[@Truemalonemusic]

I love seeing actresses I saw play small roles in other shows have bigger roles. I saw her in a few things but never really got to see her full actress potential. These old shows give me life.

[@t.d.8765]

Wow!!! Ive lived for 40 years! Just now discovering all these shows i never even knew existed!

[@DeeNice681]

I remember watching this on BET and thinking Loretta Devine was fine as hell!

[@nishh664]

Oh my Leslie Jordan… yayyy🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂 my lil funny guy

[@seanpowell1661]

I remember when Vicki Lynn was "Ranger Granger" on that episode of 227 when Mary and Sandra got lost in the woods with those Girls Scouts. One of my favorite episodes! Wait a minute...is that Leslie Jordan ? 😂

[@MikoMoJo]

I was wondering if that was Leslie too!

[@nomessnostress]

I love watching old shows that let me see people back in the day aside from Loretta looking fabulous at 41 i love seeing leslie jordan (rip) now that im in my 30s im seeing all the hotties play mom roles but shows like this lets me see people playing young sexy roles before my time... this shiw aired the same year i was born

[@MsDisneylandlover]

Rip mr Jordan

[@CrystalCobbins-sp4dv]

Oh my Goodness how do I not know this show?? Two minutes in and I'm loving it already. Loretta so pretty

[@marcusamerson6552]

[@lainimoreno]

Love everything from the theme song to the fashions ❤plus it’s funny! I’m an 80s baby and I’m so sad u don’t fully remember this show. Thank you so much for sharing this gem with us.

[@andredupuis5461]

Stephanie Hodge playing Bonnie had to be a copy of the 70's Alice's tv show character "Flo" just not saying "Kiss Mah Griiiiits!"

[@Prsonfi23]

The actress that played Ginger also voiced Max from the Goof Troop R.I.P Dana Hill

[@shuralbaskerville9493]

From Oklahoma but never heard of this show... WOW🎉

[@JoyceHurt-kk6fb]

Never heard of this...glad I came across it

[@tanitrarobinson7477]

Sounding like Whitley Gilbert

[@andieslive669]

Wow, great Sitcom and the actors are amazing.

[@CerveloR5]

Oh wow it's Leslie Jordan AKA Beverley Leslie from Will & Grace. He was awesome!

[@TrangPakbaby]

I love Vicky’s appearance on 227 as “Ranger Granger” 😂😂

[@sarahsimpkins1311]

[@ritagreenlaw8923]

I love this show so much.

[@Mister_Listener]

The jokes in this are pretty funny. Leslie Jourdan?! Never heard of it, ever. Dana Hill was in this?!

[@janetdaniels5955]

I'm liking that someone's post old TV shows that only lasted one season

[@mchin1716]

Good show but i don't remember well i was 10 years old 😅im 44 now

[@drb215]

this must be around the time she played on a different world....as Stevie Rallen the dorm mother.

[@janclark5431]

Glad you had a great trip and have your plans for next time. I hate being hot, so i totally understand! 😂

[@flexizbomb2]

13:39 "You ripped open my flesh and scooped out my guts" sounds crazy, out of context. 😅 Imagery on point, tho. His poor "heart and soul"... 💀

[@keantehill2375]

Leslie Jordan ❤

[@chocolatgrrl2166]

r.i.p. Leslie Jordan

[@davidbarnes1113]

[@uncut3293]

Remember This Episode 💛 Naturally funny .

[@drewdenning9993]

Wonderful

[@Mister_Listener]

Came back to leave another comment! Loretta looked amazing in that black dress with the pom poms. I would have loved watching this show if i had known about it. She is a stunning woman and great performer. Not bad on the theme song, although not that great either. It’s okay she was awesome in Dreamgirls ha!

[@yattamook]

Wow i remember seeing the commercial for this I don’t think it stayed on that long

[@MsDisneylandlover]

Y would they name that child character name tobby . 😢

[@annecollins9584]

Wow I never heard of this show

[@MikoMoJo]

I recognize Ginger from National Lampoon’s European Vacation, my favorite one! ❤

[@sltgirl219]

The theme song! 😊

[@ritagreenlaw8923]

Leslie Jordan was a funny histerical character. RIP

I loved this show I was upset when they canceled it.

[@dabigitalianwilliams9345]

Look at the lady that played Smokey momma from the movie Friday 😂😂

[@drb215]

that looks like the Mamaś Family house!

[@aprilmarizette4437]

❤

[@CodyCole80]

I remember this show, but it didn’t last too long.

[@taylormade242]

So did whitley ( jasmine guy ) get inspired by Bonnie with the accent ?

[@leonedwards7745]

Why does Bonnie sound like Thelma from Momma's Family?

[@jenniferohjenny7142]

Didn't Vicki Lynn also play the wife of the guy who shot Jimmy in " South Central" #ClassicTv

[@keonta81]

Yep

[@drb215]

that white woman sounds like whitley gilbert.

[@cinemeleon2808]

EGGGzakly!!! This was 1990, ADW aired in 1987...do the math. What a rip-off. The producers should have adjusted her character voice.

[@gldnglow]

How did I miss this? Thanks

[@psyourauntie]

Don't remember this one 😮😮
