That's it. We celebrate NBC's 80s sitcom 227 starring Marla Gibbs, Jackee Harry, Helen Martin, Hal Williams, and a young Regina King.

I think Regina is cute when she's older. I'd probably still bang her.
>>
I never could stand Jackee Harry though. I hated her sass in Sister, Sister.
>>
No one else?
Really?

R.I.P., Helen.
She would have gotten a sticky I like to think.

I went to Vegas and had I not been assigned Room 227, I would still be wandering around the casino today looking for my room

I remember this show being in syndication in the early 90s. I watched it as it came on after the after-school cartoons on Fox I think. I remember a joke about turtle wax.

I'm sure it's on some streaming service. Probably not Peacock though where it belongs. I think it was on Hulu years ago and then left.
I'm glad I got to see Head of the Class before they pulled it.

Jackee was so slutty (within the confines of a family friendly sitcom)
>>
>>218243407
Yeah, like Blanche in Golden Girls or Roz in Frasier. You can only be so slutty in primetime in the 80s. It's hinted at.

this is probably the first TV show i remember seeing when I would stay home from school due to illness.

tell us what the show was about OP

I'm glad they didn't tarnish it's golden legacy by bringing it back a la 'Fuller House' or 'Mad About You' or anything else they tried to recapture the magic with 30-40 years late.

A black family and their friends and neighbors surrounding apartment 227.

Just a sitcom like any other really. They were like the Cosbys or the Jeffersons in that they weren't all that 'black' in their speech and mannerisms and all that. Like Fresh Prince too. White families like mine watched them just like any other shows. They weren't a different culture at all. Race relations seemed pretty good to me as a kid in the 80s and 90s. I've never been racist though. A lot of people here won't understand that unfortunately.

A lot of all black shows were like that back then. Family Matters is another example. Probably also Good Times and Sandford and Son too. You dont start getting black tv shows with "urban" speaking until like Wayan's Brothers and tyler perry shit starts to gain popularity.
Cosby's influence on black america began to wane.

This was a fun black show. Good times was too damn depressing.
