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.
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
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 ? 😂
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.
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!
I was today years old when I found out this show existed. I love Ms. Devine hair and the theme song.
Wow I was 10 when this show came out it wasn’t out long canceled after a season or two but it was good ❤
Love Loretta Divine in everything she does! ❤
So do I. I love her in Season 1 of A Different World.❤

The actress that played Ginger also voiced Max from the Goof Troop R.I.P Dana Hill
That old lady played on 'Seinfeld' as Jerry's mom.😊

From Oklahoma but never heard of this show... WOW🎉
Never heard of this...glad I came across it
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!"
Sounding like Whitley Gilbert
I remember i use to watch this on B.E.T back in 1992-1993 😊
I love Vicky’s appearance on 227 as “Ranger Granger”
😂😂
Oh wow it's Leslie Jordan AKA Beverley Leslie from Will & Grace. He was awesome!
Thats SMOKEYS MAMA ON FRIDAY.
I’ve been transported back to high school ❤❤.
I'm liking that someone's post old TV shows that only lasted one season
Good show but i don't remember well i was 10 years old 😅im 44 now
This is a funny show
My introduction to Leslie Jordan
I must not had a TV when these shows came on. Or if I did my Tv lasted longer than theses shows.
I dont remember this show, but i like it
I love that beehive ❤❤❤
The jokes in this are pretty funny. Leslie Jourdan?! Never heard of it, ever. Dana Hill was in this?!
this must be around the time she played on a different world....as Stevie Rallen the dorm mother.
Auntie Retta 💙🥰💙🫂
Is that lady in the purple Smokey's mother from Friday?
LOL yes
@@princesssmalik1 lol
Wow❤😂 I didn't know that
Yep! I said I know I’m not crazy!
First thing i thought 🤣
I love this show so much.
Not Smokey's mom 😂
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"... 💀
Wow i remember seeing the commercial for this I don’t think it stayed on that long
Remember This Episode 💛 Naturally funny .
Glad you had a great trip and have your plans for next time. I hate being hot, so i totally understand! 😂
4:40 wow I want to know who played the young lady in the mustard colored sweater ❤ she reminds me so much of Bobbi Christina 😢❤️🩹❤️🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💝
I never heard of this wow 😊
I don't remember this show. Thanks for sharing and how long did it last?
March - May 1990. There was only 7 episodes
Wonderful
Wow I never heard of this show
First time seeing this show
Y would they name that child character name tobby
. 😢
I recognize Ginger from National Lampoon’s European Vacation, my favorite one! ❤
I’m over 50 and I’ve never seen or heard of this show!🤯Was it just a pilot or did it actually get picked up?
Leslie Jordan ❤
r.i.p. Leslie Jordan
The theme song! 😊
Leslie Jordan was a funny histerical character. RIP
I loved this show I was upset when they canceled it.
❤
that looks like the Mamaś Family house!
How did I miss this? Thanks
Look at the lady that played Smokey momma from the movie Friday 😂😂
I remember this show, but it didn’t last too long.
So did whitley ( jasmine guy ) get inspired by Bonnie with the accent ?
Why does Bonnie sound like Thelma from Momma's Family?
Don't remember this one 😮😮
So many shows that did not last.
Didn't Vicki Lynn also play the wife of the guy who shot Jimmy in " South Central" #ClassicTv
Yep
that white woman sounds like whitley gilbert.
EGGGzakly!!! This was 1990, ADW aired in 1987...do the math. What a rip-off. The producers should have adjusted her character voice.
I never hear about this show
Is that Smokey’s mama? 👀

I wonder what happened to Laverne Anderson
Me to she just disappeared
@@NorthPhilly-zr7xc right and you can't even find her on the internet barely
@@laraecoleman7122 I know it's crazy the last thing I've seen her on was Friday as chris tucker mom
Why didn't oaklahoma only have two aids or we living in the Mandela effect
Isn't that the pinesol lady? Not the original older looking pinesol lady. The 2000's pinesol lady? 😂😂
No
Did ya'll know that's lisa ray? the light skined girl with the curly hair.
no, its not
Wrong. Her name is LaVerne Anderson. Opening credits are there to teach us.
Loretta Devine was in every black sitcom except for the successful ones...
I'm 48, never heard of this, loretta is pretty, love her on the p.j.'s
Love this! Thank you for posting!
Loretta and Vickilyn were in George C. Wolfe’s The Colored Museum. They did The Hairpiece with Danitra Vance.
