I miss this show so much. I wish they would re-air it here in the states. My mum, dad, and sisters would always watch it on BET, I believe it was Sunday nights.
@channel4 What ever happened to Kim Walker who played Gloria on this show? I read that she had died but then I found out it was another Kim Walker so I am trying to find out what happened to the Kim Walker on Desmond's? Do you have any information that is accurate as to what happened to this Jamaican star?
@hennesseyify I wish I knew too - I've asked everywhere I can think of online, but everyone keeps mixing her up with the American actress Kim Walker who died. If you do happen to hear, I would love to know too. Gloria was one of my favourite Desmond's characters, and Kim had great potential that was obviously not fulfilled.
I'm from South Africa and this show came on about ten years ago.... it was the funniest sitcom on the Tele hands down... Pity its so hard to track down here.
Dude i'm in Canada...i caught this show like 10 years ago by fluke for 2 years...best thing on TV...be thankful you were even able to see it then...i can't find it anywhere
@djbigpean Bill Cosby saw an episode of Desmond's when he was visiting the UK, and was so impressed he invited Norman Beaton (Desmond) to appear on an episode of The Cosby Show. There was some talk of it being a semi-regular spot, but sadly Norman became too ill to travel to the US.
@BOLSHEVIXTREME his daughter isn't dead; the Kim Walker that died (I think of a brain tumour) was a US daytime soap actor, not the Kim Walker from Desmond's.
I think Channel 4 license the rights out, as it's been repeated on Trouble (which is in the kids TV section) a few times, usually quite late at night.
I so loved Desmonds, and had a huge crush on Kim Walker (Gloria); I can never understand why she never had any other TV work, and wonder what she's doing now.
as a whiteman, i used to love desmonds as a kid, i can remember getting in late from school some times and at 6-7 o'clock desmonds came on. as a kid, i thought desmonds was "sheer brilliance. i can still remember that song when it first started coming on. THIS COMEDY RINGS SUPREME, ITS UP THEIR WITH THE GREATS.
