Description:
More than just one of the most popular TV sitcoms of the '80s, 227 is the Washington, DC apartment building where housewife Mary Jenkins and her close-knit circle of friends and neighbors gather on the front stoop to dish about life, family and especially each other in this first season collection of twenty-two hilarious episodes. Starring Marla Gibbs as Mary, Hal Williams as her hardworking husband Lester, Regina King as their teenage daughter Brenda, Alaina Reed as Mary's best friend Rose, Helen Martin as crotchety busybody Pearl, and Emmy Award®-winner Jackée as the sexy, "man-wise" Sandra Clark. Also appearing in the first season's 22 side-splitting episodes are such familiar faces as Leslie Nielsen, Dennis Haysbert, Whitman Mayo and Fran Drescher. 227 ran for five hysterical seasons, proving that when it comes to comedy and laughter, there's no place like home.
