Regina King is definitely a child star success story. She's now an Oscar and Emmy award winning actress and an acclaimed director. She also seems to be a humble person in real life as well.
So true, Donald! Many actors who rise to the level of fame she has achieved would have conveniently not been available to do this reunion show. That says a lot about her as well. Love Regina!
I saw Marla Gibbs years ago at a detroit gas station pumping her own gas in her Rolls Royce. So down to earth. I couldn't even speak and she said never forget where you come from and you're never too good to pump your own gas. 💕💕
Jackee Harry didn’t just win an Emmy for this show; she made history! It was first time a black actress ever won Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.
And Alaina's (Rose) husband Kevin Peter Hall who passed as well. He played her boyfriend on the show and fell in love in real life. Their characters married on the set. He played in Harry and the Hendersons as Harry and in Predator 2 as The Predator and the Elder.
Marla tearing up when she talked about the Jeffersons. She's like our Betty White. Aside from Belinda Tolbert, she's the other last surviving cast member of The Jeffersons.
Yes, so proud of her. Along with Oscar, Regina has a Golden globe award, multiple Emmy awards and nominated for a Golden globe for best director for One Night In Miami. She's on 🔥.
It’s great to see that the cast remained friends all of these years. They all look amazing! And Regina King reminds me of how Ron Howard grew up to be successful as an actor and director. 🌟
I've been introduced to 227 by my mom approximately 12yrs ago. I'm now 35yrs old, and still watch there episodes daily. I've now introduced it to my 10 yr old daughter. This is absolutely a classic.
What a force Regina King has become! Multiple Emmy winner, Oscar winner and now major Hollywood director!! They must all be so proud of her accomplishments.
I found 227 from my grandmother she use to have this playing when I would spend some time with her as a kid I miss her so much now I’m addicted to this show now thanks to her ❤️
Yesh that was thy really good times before cell phone and technology. When people actually when outside to talk and kids actually when outside to play. I wish we can go back in time.
Them seeing Regina grow to such a big star has to mean alot to them all... Not that she isn't among 3 legends herself...Glad they brought Calvin back as well... I hate when shows leave the minor members out...
“There's no place like home With your family around you you're never alone When ya know that your loved You don't need to roam Cause there's no place like home” I could not watch the show without watching the theme song. It was an absolute must. Thank you Marla Gibbs! “I mean no place child” 🤣
Misty eyed watching this, so good to see some of the surviving cast members, Marla Gibbs is a national treasure like Betty White, tried to never miss an episode when it ran, sadly we will never see this era in TV programming again, a blessed witness...
Another people miss out on is that it is the first show in history to depict the capital as a functional city with normal people and not just a politic panache enviornment.
@ felix121984 Great point! However, I have to add a correction. There was another black sitcom in the '70's called "That's My Mama". It started Clifton Davis as "Mama's" son (was Rev. Gregory "Amen"), Theresa Merritt as mama (also Aunt Em in "The Wiz), Teddy Wilson as the postman (also played Sweet Daddy Williams on "Good Times") and Ted Lange as Junior (played Issac on the "Love Boat"). Like most black actors in that era, they were all seasoned Broadway stars. Clifton Davis was especially popular then as a singer, songwriter, dancer, actor, and game show guest. As a songwriter, his biggest hit was "Never Can Say Goodbye". In season 1 the opening credits showed a barber's pole and the theme song was instrumental. Season 2, the closing credits had the best view of a Washington, DC neighborhood ever on a sitcom. I don't know for sure but it looked real to me and not a movie backdrop. I lived in DC as a young child and moved back in my twenties even though I am not a native. The theme song had vocals. The TV series was not very popular in the mainstream even though it was on ABC. I don't remember the competition on those nights. It only lasted about 2 years. As a teenager then, I watched most of the black sitcoms. Plus I had a crush on Clifton Davis 😊😊. The fact that he was in a high profile romance with Melba Moore at the time, made me love him more. She was and still to this day, a favorite entertainer of mine. Other actors who appeared on the show were Jester Hairston, Lynne Moody, Helen Martin, and Joan Pringle (who was married in real life to Teddy Wilson). Lamont Dozier, the great songwriter wrote the theme song for the show. Ironically, the singer who sung the lyrics was not Clifton but I don't remember who he was. The show was not as strong as some of the other shows back then but I liked it. You can catch it on cable on the weekends, the channel I am not sure. Happy hunting!
@@diva70smusic Great call.... I too remember that show and another show called Baby I'm Back on CBS starring Kim Fields, Damon Wilson, Denise Nichols from Room 222. Speaking of Room 222, it was the Black principal who was the star of the series, however, actress Karen Valentine and Denise Nichols overshadowed him.. Also, during this time another Black sitcom premiered that showcased a young Black couple (can't recall the name but it too was on ABC). The 1970s was a good time for Black Hollywood after the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, not nearly as good as Black Hollywood is now, but good enough.. ABC also cast a Black actress (Brenda Skyes) as a regular on Ozzie and Harriet in the 1970s. Actress Lynne Moody appeared on many ABC programs. I remember a lot of Black talent from back in the day.
This hurt my heart. I didn't know Alaina Reed Hall passed on to Glory 😥. She is with her husband again. God rest her soul. I loved 227 so much and still do. 💕
I got teary-eyed watching this, my mum and I watched every Saturday evening, then would watch Amen with Sherman Hemsley... I LOOVE Saaandra, with her big head self!!
This is Amazing!!! We grew up watching 227 in the 80's the show always felt like family. We still watch episodes today. How incredible to see the cast xime full circle. We love ❤️ you 227!!!
Love this and adore the show! I literally have been watching reruns of this every night for like 2 years now! A classic show like this never gets old. Thanks to the cast and crew for this timeless gem of entertainment and talent!!!
Hal Williams go all the way back to Sanford & Son, the police officer "Smitty". Goodness he didn't give him much talking time, Al made it all about the women. Hal has the most experience.
Lester Jenkins is one of the best tv dads and husbands ever! He's so overlooked but was up there with Uncle Phil, Carl Winslow, Dan Connor, James Evans etc.
This was one of my faaaavvvooorrrrite shows growing up. It was amazing to see the cast all together again. Al did a wonderful job of making sure that each person was had their moment to shine/be acknowledged 😱🥰 I love that.
Marla Gibbs was such a great character on The Jeffersons and she did a very good job portraying a different kind of character on 227. That episode with Pee Wee Herman is still engraved in my mind.
The role won Sandra an Emmy (only cast mbr too win one) so if anything she shld be grateful...Urkel saved Family Matters n give him n the cast 9 yrs of solid pay + residuals.... (a huge blessing in the industry).....Problem was he became type cast b/c the character became so popular....But his agent n parents did not serv him well from a financial...At the peak of the character's popularity....ABC made a Ton of money on merchandising n Jaleel received pennies (5% of net vs gross)....if he were going to settle for such a low amount n at the time he had the clout 2 negotiate a much better deal.
Yeah, the MAJOR difference between Jackee Harry and Jaleel White, is that Jackee went on to have another solid, steady and memorable role on "Sister Sister" for six seasons.... And this was after her five seasons on "227"... And Jackee also did several movies.... Jaleel didn't get any major roles after "Family Matters"..
@@hardren101 I tell people all the time that he really did save Family Matters. I was around 6th grade and I said that if they don't do something, this show would not make it past season 2.

They pulled this one out of the archives...I wonder “why now”?!? Glad they did though. This is when there were still shows that were well written, “clean” and “genuinely funny”!
It represented POSITIVE black imagery, that's why you don't see shows like this, anymore. I love everyone of these cast members.
Yes❣️

Back in the day I loved 227 and Amen; they sometimes ran right behind each other.
227 and Amen were the best. I'm still lucky enough to be able to watch it on TV.
On Saturday nights at that!
I loved 227 and Amen. Each character was absolutely wonderful. How could anyone NOT love all these people?
Saturday nights on NBC in the '80's 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The two shows ran back-to-back where I lived. I just can't remember which one came on first.😁❤

They pulled this one out of the archives...I wonder “why now”?!? Glad they did though. This is when there were still shows that were well written, “clean” and “genuinely funny”!
Might be because Regina is really popular right now and is winning awards
I still watch this show on Antenna TV. Reminds me of the good old days of growing up in the 80s
One of the best tv shows ever and underrated,strong chemistry and great cast,dynamic talent,much respect
OMG yes 🙌🏽❤️💯💯
VERY underrated! Love 227 ♥️ 💕 ♥️
This show is still one of my favorite shows to watch on a daily basis. Whether it be on tv, DVD, etc. It brightens my day so much!!!!
