Anyone remember the mid 80s sitcom 227? It ran from 1985-1990 and was about the lives of African-Americans who lived in an apartment complex in Washington D.C. It starred Marla Gibbs and Jack

I had actually never heard of this show before they started showing re-runs occasonally on TV Land. I watch it whenever it comes on now, and really like what I've seen of it so far.

i used to love this show. my favorite was an episode where mary and sandra get locked in a store or something with pee wee herman. i don't remember all the details, but i remember it being hilarious! i guess Season 1 didn't sell very well on DVD because i never did see season 2.

I watched it as my mom enjoyed it and so did some of my friends. I think it came on Saturdays or towards the weekend. I haven't seen it much in recent years, but I like to stop my channel surfing and rest it on that show for a bit.

Hopefully the rest of the Seasons will come on DVD. I can hardly wait to get them

It was on Saturdays yes, which is one of the more memorable things about it, cause in those days, you could see Sitcoms on the Weekend, unlike today. The last Sitcom I ever remember being aired in Weekend prime time was Designing Women circa 1993

She is a BIG movie star yes. When "Enemy of the State" came out, and I saw her as Will Smith's wife, I was like, hey, that's Brenda from 227 ;D
