Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
Syl This show and Amen both aired on NBC. Both show featured the comic genius of two Jeffersons' alums, Sherman Hemsley, and Marla Gibbs. We all watched her play the wisecracking maid, Florence Johnston, on the Jeffersons. Now she shines in her own show but not without a great supporting cast. There is Emmy winning Jackee Harry as Sandra, her upstairs neighbor, or veteran actress Helen Martin as the nosy neighbor on the stoop. The show was named 227 after it's address. No it was set in Washington D.C. of all place, a nice change in location. Hal Williams played the ideal spouse to Marla Gibbs' husband. If you look, you will see Regina King who is on her way to becoming a star with credits like Jerry Maguire and Ray. It was a good show with wholesome family entertainment.
blurzzz@yahoo.com great show and if i remember if i remember correctly i believe the the out door new york city set the same street set they used in sesame street? This show was so brilliant and truly great. I remember Jackey being so sexy and i remember it being so great Marla Gibb had a hit TV show after the Jefferson's. This show is one of the great TV shows of all time right up there with the Cosby show and Murphy's place. I remember the street set and the stairs so vividly i can almost remember Oscar and big bird et all and the ghost's of PBS on the street with Marla Gibb. This was such a great show on NBC if i remember correctly it ran on Saturday Night's for a while with Empty Nest and Golden Girls. what a great adult combo.
junioralexis The Washington DC based show is returning to television. Look for it this July on TV Land. This show was really a classic. This show had in its cast the beautiful Regina King, who would later make a name in the feature film industry. Let's not forget the great Marla Gibbs. Her portrayal was the best since her character of Florence on The Jeffersons. It was finally time that she was given a hit TV show. NBC was in the wrong for canceling the series only after 5 seasons, it could of lasted a few more years. I am glad that this show is returning to TV in TV Land. It's about time it was noticed and finally placed in TV history.
mjc_227 I think that 227 is one of the best series, comedy or drama to ever be on television. It blended humour and drama into each episode, over the course of it's run it tackled topics such as homelessness and popularity (character of Brenda). Sandra was my personal favourite!
