THAT'S MY MAMA | How the 1974 That's My Mama Cast Has Changed Then and Now in 2022 | Sitcom Cast

That's My Mama is an American television sitcom that was originally broadcast on the ABC network from September 4, 1974 until December 24, 1975. There are 39 episodes of this series. That's My Mama was never a ratings success. It was not one of the top 30 most-watched U.S. programs in the Nielsen ratings for either the 1974-1975 or 1975-1976 television seasons. As a result, the series ended on Christmas Eve of 1975. It was the first series to be produced by Columbia Pictures Television.
Set in a middle-class African American neighborhood in Washington, D.C., the program revolved around the character Clifton Curtis (played by Clifton Davis), a man in his mid-20s who worked as a barber at Oscar's Barber Shop, the family barber shop he had inherited from his late father. While Clifton enjoyed being a bachelor, his loving, but tart-tongued and opinionated mother Eloise "Mama" Curtis, played by Theresa Merritt, wanted him to settle down and find a nice wife. Additional characters - such as Clifton's two best friends-Earl, played by Teddy Wilson, an easy-going mailman and Junior, played by Ted Lange, a suave and good-humored ladies' man-came and went over the course of a typical day at Oscar's Barber Shop.
Other characters included Tracy, Clifton's little sister, played by Lynne Moody and later by Joan Pringle and her husband, Leonard, played by Lisle Wilson, as well as local seniors Josh and Wildcat, played by DeForest Covan and Jester Hairston. Clifton Davis and Hairston would work together again years later in the hit sitcom, Amen.
The original name for That's My Mama was The Furst Family of Washington. One year before the series debuted, ABC aired the pilot episode of this version, starring Merritt opposite Godfrey Cambridge as her son Oscar, as a one-off special.

This is one of my all time favorite sitcoms I miss those days where did the time go? Why'd it have to go?

The 1974 picture on the left is not Jester Hairston. It is actor Lee Weaver who is still alive at age 92. The picture on the right is Jester Hairston. The 2022 age of Joan Pringle is 77 not 47. Helen Martin was 65 in 1974, not 29. All of these errors need to be corrected.

Thank you, l will

I knew that was wrong. There is no way that Joan would have been only 47 two years ago. Was any research even done?

[@MZ412BABY]

HOW IS JOAN PRINGLE 47? The math ain't mathing.

[@rememberingthestars]

Thanks, l see

Helen Martin 29? I think not. She must have had Joan Pringles genie 😂

[@beachgrad98]

i thought there were only two actresses who played Tracy anyway. Was Helen even on that show?

[@arifbhatti3361]

Please get ur calculation right how can she be 47 she should have been 76 or 77 years. I have observed very meticulously that the profile that you displayed is not quite what it seems to be. Some matches other dont. We should take it into laughter because some of them are no lon ger here and u shouldnt ridicule because it will come back to u. Tu
