The violent "love romp" between Ernie & BESS? It reminds me of Saturday Night Live cast member Finesse MITCHELL describing Niesha BEAMer's (like RAY BEAM ATTACK) clawing ability on the "Appalachian Emergency Room" skit circa 2003. But I'm sure it's unrelated to BESSie Mears from Richard wRIGHT's "Native Son" or the 121 Whitfield address in 27823. Web sources say this episode (titled "The Courtship of Bess Richards") originally aired on OCT. 4, 1986, when I was a sophomore in high school
JESTER HAIRston (565-18-5229) as ROLLy FORBES in the series is unrelated to RALEIGH, the capital of North Carolina, where HAIRston was born (on JUL. 9, 1901 in Belews Creek). TVplates.moc says SHErMAN HEMsley's Deacon FRYe drove a GREY (like alien hybrid) OLDsmobile REGENCY with license plate KNC-481. The 481 end of KNC-481 could evoke NC Hwy 481. The KNC start only needs "C" for KCNC--the CBS affiliate in DENVER, which was a NBC station in the late 1980s when "AMEN" premiered in Sep. of 1986.
Series star CLIFTON DAVIS turned 41 the day this episode aired. In 1994, CBS & Westinghouse Electric Corporation agreed to a long-term affiliation deal that saw all five of Westinghouse's television stations become CBS affiliates. This switch included KCNC in DENVER and KYW in PHILADELPHIA--the city "Amen" and the fictional First Community Church was set in. Usual suspect names: CLIFTON DAVIS as Rev. Dr. Reuben GREGORY evokes the STONE CULT; 1980s high school principals; grocery stores in 27803
Zip code 27803 ends 803 like the telephone area code for FAIRfield County, in the Midlands of South Carolina. Clifton DAVIS could remind of the "big head boy" DEXTER from the middle school 1980s.
A matter of B&G from May of 1994: Police Chief Bennie Murphy said Thursday the robbery took place Tuesday at the Bonnie Be-Lo Market on US Hwy. 17.
The robbery was thought to be a copycat of one the previous year in WINDSOR, NC, which could evoke ROYALS--when combining BONNie & SOUTH CAROLINA
A matter of B&G from May of 1994: Police Chief Bennie Murphy begins Bennie. The Food Lion at Rivers Edge shopping center--802 Harbour West Drive, 27803--was flooded by Tar River flooding in 1999's Hurricane Floyd.
About 20 miles away in neighboring EDGEcombe County, gLENNIE's Grocery and basically all of Princeville was also underwater via Tar River flooding. bENNIE & gLENNIE begin B&G and have ENNIE endings. BONNie Be-Lo begins like BONNeville, a Pontiac automobile brand.
one of the best episodes of AMEN, and one of the best bits of physical comedy I've ever seen. I almost spit my drink out when he jumped on her back...lmao
That was funny. The star of Gimme A Break and the star of the Jefferson's fighting. I got to admit I was routing for Nell. That was a funny episode. I hate that she's gone. Thanks for posting.
My favorite Amen episode!
