[10classictv]

Deacon Frye: and your weight is up about two hundred and fifty percent. lol

[LatinDolphin]

I wish that I was a member @ First Community church. My fave characters are Thelma and the older guy. lol

[LatinDolphin]

thanks for posting...love this show! Grew up on it.

[Brieannas21]

@anthonyisme Yes, DVD's that I made myself.

[anthonyisme]

@Brieannas21 so ur not a seller becuz u did some real GOOD recording!!

[Brieannas21]

@anthonyisme No I'm not a seller. People have asked if they could buy copies, that would be too much work, and I don't have the time.

[8dimndgirl]

Does anyone know who the guy is that sings the line after the lady sings it? (When the choir director calls on them to sing)

[LilacStar82]

@8dimndgirl It's Yo fat ass daddy

[michaelbadera123]

i wanna see romance between thaa reverend andd thelmaa.!!:)

[antweezy171]

I love how right before the Deacon says, "well anyone can have an off night," at 5:25, everyone seems to be talking and doing their own thing. Yet right when he says that, everybody turns to him and laughs :P the deacon has some kinda power lol

[NicheDiva]

"Now God has given each of us a temple. You have torn yours down and put up a Pizza Hut!"

LOL!

Moment of silence for good T.V.

funniest show. I miss it.

[yvessaintlaurent88]

I try to watch this show every morning. It is so positive. I wish there were more shows like it now. Family Matters was another show that made me happy whenever it came on. I mean, I DO enjoy shows that aren't so positive but these kind of shows are something I enjoy seeing because the comedy is so innocent (almost corny--but in a good way). Plus, they teach you valuable lessons.

[dramavogue]

He ate this reverend the the freak up!

[dgprice53]

The very 1st episode, so much memories

[dramavogue]

This first episode is hilarious. He ate this reverend up!@dgprice53

[BigBlueBeast]

Our church sang the song "Glorify The Lord" the Sunday after this episode premiered.

[cutecherryangel13]

that lady thelma that plays reverends daughter...looks like she could also play his wife in the right clothes and hairstyle...just my two cents.

[1024SueNelson]

It is so hard and disappointing to know that this really DOES exist in the the Lord's Holy Temple. People having to be paid to serve GOD.

[Kemyetta2]

The church in the opening is a church here in Philadelphia. I used to be a member of it.

[dnasty312]

[bitemypillow]

it is called gluttony.

[cool4rocknroll]

Deacon Frye: Now God gave us each a temple. You have tore your's down and put up a Pizza Hut LMAO! Sherman Hemsley best line!

[cool4rocknroll]

The late John Hancock was a great actor. He played the first minister in the pilot episode. Before Clifton Davis (Reuben Gregory) took his place as minister. He made alot of appearences on sitcoms like Diff'rent Strokes (1978), Cheers (1982), Who's the Boss (1984), Amen (1986), Family Ties (1983), and Family Matters (1989). He passed away in 1992 at the age of 51 of a massive heart attack. I'm sorry he died a terrible death. His worked will always be remembered.

[therealflamelit]
