Avis à la une
After Marla Gibbs left "The Jeffersons" she walked right into her own show: "227." 227 was the apartment number she lived in and it's where everything happened. It's where Pearl Shay (Helen Martin) sat at the window and clowned folks. It's where Sandra Clark (Jackee Harry) sassed it up. And it's where we got our first look at Regina King (she played the daughter, Brenda Jenkins) whose career is only getting stronger the older she gets.
"227" was another family favorite in our house. My mother tuned into it weekly and I enjoyed it as well. Not a whole lot happened on their stoop, but enough to make us laugh.

In the 1980s, NBC had shows like Cheers, The Cosby Show, The Golden Girls and Night Court, among others.
In 1985, they debuted 227, starring Marla Gibbs following her long-running role as maid Florence Johnston on The Jeffersons.
Gibbs plays housewife Mary Jenkins, who is married to her husband Lester (played by Hal Williams), who have a daughter Brenda (played by future award-winning actress Regina King).
Mary's neighbors/friends include landlord Rose Lee Holloway (played by the late Alaina Reed Hall), who had a daughter Tiffany (played by Kia Goodwin), who was dropped by the 3rd season, Mary's frenemy Sandra Clark (played to sassy perfection by Jackée Harry) and Pearl Shay (played by the late Helen Martin), who has a grandson Calvin Dobbs (played by Curtis Baldwin) who is Brenda's boyfriend.
By the 4th season, a new kid character was added in the name of Alexandria DeWitt (played by a young Countess Vaughn) and was dropped near the end of the season.
At the end of that season, Jackée would leave, but would make special guest appearances throughout the 5th (and eventually, final) season, and in comes 4 new characters: Dylan McMillan (played by Barry Sobel), Eva Rawley (played by Toukie A. Smith), Travis Filmore (played by Stoney Jackson) and new landlord Julian C. Barlow (played by Paul Winfield).
It's pretty decent and if you're looking for an underrated 80s sitcom, then enjoy watching 227!

After her successful run as Florence on "The Jeffersons",actress Marla Gibbs takes Florence's sassy and intelligent character and applies it to everyday situations that always occurred on an apartment block in the developments of Washington,DC. But here is the catch: Its not Florence mind you. Marla's character is happliy married to a architect and has
a lovely teenage daughter. Her neighbors by the way is one lady and man-hungry woman who would try every scheme to get her one,often ending up with hilarious results. The other is their upstairs neighbor,who is a elderly lady who raises her teenage son,who has the hots for the teenage daughter. The show would become one of NBC's hottest commodities during its run in the 1980's when its was one of the peacock's ruling Saturday night line-up(which consisted of "227","Amen","The Golden Girls","Empty Nest",and the action packed drama "Hunter"),but it wouldn't last very long and they knew when to quit when they were ahead. "227" was that show. It was funny and it consisted of some very hilarious moments here. The show also skyrocketed Regina King to Hollywood status which after "227" went off the air King went on to star in several John Singleton films like "Boyz in the Hood","Higher Learning",and "Poetic Justice",and to star opposite Will Smith(aka,"Fresh Prince")in "Enemy of the State". The series also had regulars on weekly and fellow actors Hal Williams,Jackee Harry,and Helen Martin. Great Show.

I love 227, being a teenager, I was introduced to it in syndication a few years back and fell in love with it and watched it weeknights alongside Different Strokes and Amen. It's one of the best 80s sitcoms and highly underrated. A wonderful cast especially Jackee, she 100% deserved that emmy. It jumped the shark, however around season 4 when Counters Vaughn's character was introduced (while I liked her you could tell that the show was declining). After the departure of Jackee it took a huge dive then left the airways a year later, but it still was good enough to watch.
The first 3 seasons were absolutely amazing!!! Setting the standard for black television in the late 80s. As soon as season 4 started there was absolutely NO life in the show. The addition of irrelevant characters was Terrible. They were trying to add more youth, more diversity and it really brought the show to its knees. Absolutely dreadful. With Mary daydreaming in almost every episode it was just an overall failure the last 2 seasons. I just can't describe the lifelessness behind those last 2 seasons. I feel like they had new writers or producers who made them take the show in different directions.

- AnecdotesFor the second season, a storyline was considered in which Mary would become pregnant and deliver a stillborn baby. Marla Gibbs said the idea was scrapped because the outcome would have been too much of a downer for a sitcom.
