[@daves4645]

Man, I miss the cheesy 70s.

[@theronedawson3236]

The shows were very family entertaining. Love Dawn outfits.

[@jymmcdonald7491]

I remember my very 1st song that I would request over and over again because it was so Beautiful to me, it was my very 1st song to represent love, not corny pop chart little kid puppy love crush stuff, (I WAS 9,in 1970 when it came out) BUT real emotional heart stirring stuff, wish I had a girl I could give the song to, back then and now,I still cry when I hear it, good tears,not sissy tears.thank you Tony,Joyce & Telma. I'd love to see your show again, PLUS my MoM had a biggggg crush on TONY,✌️to all and THANKS for listening SPACE RANGER JYM 🚀

Most people don't realize that Telma Hopkins started here so by the time she got to television She was already a veteran. She starred in at least 3 sitcoms by the year 2000!

[@johnnybravado7141]

Bosom Buddies, Gimme A Break, and of course Family Matters.

[@d.g.n9392]

We recently bought the DVD box set of “family matters”, and Thelma is such a good actress, also we bought several other retro tv dvd box sets. Very enjoyable.

[@seaor2k122]

​@@johnnybravado7141She played in the sitcom Half & Half.

[@Rusty3659]

She and Joyce were established back-up singers when Tony Orlando hired them to be Dawn. When Isaac Hayes asked the question - "You know that man Shaft?" And then stated, "He's a bad mother -" it was Telma who said, "Shut yo mouth!"

[@elsaportillo6479]

He made her famous without him ..??

[@happels]
