Good start, but then it gets ruined

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

I was born in the 90's and I do highly respect old classic shows because they got this feel that is loss in today's shows.Not sure why a good show that had substance didn't get picked up for another season.Everything about this show was excellent. An Ex-Con Israelite male wanting to be part of his family obviously didn't sit well with a lot of folks. The show had a lot of positive and meaningful plots and episodes.

I'm told two episodes came out in 1989 , but I didn't get to see nor can I locate.

After SANFORD AND SON Demond Wilson did two short-lived series, this one and THE NEW ODD COUPLE (he did Oscar, Ron Glass did Felix). The premise of this show had a husband who had abandoned his family return years later to try to reconnect with the wife and kids. I haven't seen it since its original broadcasts, but I liked it. Perhaps the idea wasn't appealing to a mass audience but the cast was excellent. Helen Martin played the "mother-in-law Luzelle. Luzelle is French for killer. The day she moved in, the rats moved next door." At least that's what Demond Wilson would repeat during the opening credits. He was great, and it was a better show than THE NEW ODD COUPLE. THAT'S MY MAMA was on for at least two seasons, and starred Clifton Davis and Theodore Wilson (who went on to play Sweet Daddy Williams on the popular GOOD TIMES). And then there was Cleavon Little in TEMPERATURE'S RISING.

This was Demond Wilson's attempt at making it on his own after feuding with Redd Foxx over who made "Sanford & Son" a success. In the show, Wilson returned to his wife who was attempting to remarry. Denise Nicholas was the wife and Helen Martin (later on 227) was her mother, Luzelle, who Demond would say was French for "killer". Martin mostly sought to recreate LaWanda Page's Aunt Esther as a foil for Wilson here. She did have her moments, especially when she got drunk on the cooking cherry trying to cook that chicken.First she would stagger out into the living room drunk, then later on, upon entering the kitchen, Martin would be having the plucked chicken do a little two step then take a dive into the bowl. The show would also have feminist periods, but with the lovely Denise Nicholas making the argument, they were memorable as I still recall them. In one, Wilson told her that men are always listed before women: "men and women, boys and girls, his and hers."Nicholas replied with "ladies and gentlemen!"She would then also hit him up as to why there was never a King Bee.The show didn't last long, obviously, but those moments with Martin were funny.
