[starkid77]

I always loved this theme song one of my favorites, I will always miss the dad and Nell forever, there's no show like this one:)

[TSquared2001]

RIP Nell Carter and Dolph Sweet

[maleficentdiva]

I miss the 80's :(

[PhoenixxxStar]

I watched it because of her/ it was a good show and I loved the fact that she sang the theme song. She is missed and like John Candy left us way too soon. R.I.P., Nell!!!

[economistman]

Will someone please tell me what Nell says at 4:07-4:10 - i really have no idea...

[economistman]

I love Julie's necklace!

[cocoacarly1]

I love Nell Carter. She was full of surprises to the end.

[UNDERTAKERSFANZ]

i love this show & the theme bay bee

[coopwinters]

How did they write the Father out? Iknow he passed but did they ever mentioned that?

[epifani9]

@coopwinters Sweet is probably best remembered for his role as cantankerous police chief and father Carl Kanisky, who was constantly at odds with housekeeper Nell Carter on the sitcom Gimme a Break!, a role he played from 1981 until his death. Sweet was diagnosed with cancer during the series' fourth season, but continued to work. Dolph Sweet died on May 8, 1985; his final appearance on Gimme a Break! aired 3 days later, coincidentally, on the day of his funeral.

[MrSpringtime22]

kari michelson is very pretty. she dated andy gibb around 1984-85.

not too crazy about that dress.

[kittytr99]

Nell sportin that damn Mohawk. You guys are right. This show wouldn't make it today because Nell is a Black housekeeper, but this was a great show. I loved it and this is coming from an educated black woman. There was nothing wrong with this show then and now.

[runrockwater]

[mmcost]

[brandonmachew3204]

@nene72744 hahaha, so true lol.

[ncatina]

where's the sound??????

[Boogers4dinner]

Takes me back to a time when the world wasn't so liberal. So if you're a liberal, think about how much you loved the show Gimme a Break, and realize that being a liberal is going in the opposite direction of these days when Gimme A Break used to come on. LOL This will let you know that you need to come back to Conservative. LOL

[applesauce2100]

wtf? I like this show as well too but im sure as hell not some convervative nut! As a kid growing I would come home from school and watch this show everyday....wth does this have to deal with conservative or liberal???

[Boogers4dinner]

You know everything was different back then. Somethings on T.V. now are touchy topics and aren't really dealt with anymore. Somethings that wasn't talked about back then are now talked about on TV shows. It's flipped around...the politics of everyday living and what we see on T.V., that's what I meant by that. (Politics) That's all. LOL

[applesauce2100]

well all the family shows from the 80s and 90s they touched such topics, but now the way television is nothing off limits you know., but they don't make shows like this along with Whos the boss, Cosby, Growing Pains, Mr. Belevedre and more.... Miss all those shows

[Boogers4dinner]

LOL...I definitely agree.

[SNSW1]

Your right, everything now must be politically correct, Gimme a break would not be accepted in this day and age every though it's a good show, just because Nell is a black housekeeper, no body would dare to look for the deep and strong and loving relationship she has with for this family @Boogers4dinner

[SNSW1]

Try making a show like this and play it on you tube, and you may get a email from the NAACP. they would ask you to take it off !! and maybe ask question the actor who is black why is she playing this part. @applesauce2100

[mnmcv1]

@Boogers4dinner - why bring politics into this??? It's a sitcom, for crying out loud. but since you did...

if you're alluding to the idea that Nell Harper was a black housekeeper and that blacks as servants represent "the good old days"...no, I think I'll stay liberal, thanks.

PS- Nell was their mom's friend- she promised her on her death bed she would care for her children. So, even on that level, your comment doesn't hold water...

[primarybs]

God Bless Nell Carter....They just don't make 'em like that anymore.

[honeyblonde06]

@primarybs sure dont

[1024SueNelson]

@primarybs They sure don't. She is so precious. My mom is just like her. So loving, strong, and mothering everyone.

[onlycarrystacks]

@primarybs so true I miss her so much I grew up watching her I still love her Nell Cater will always live in my heart

[NICKTUBER80]

This episode is from 1985 i think...

[ProcrastinatingGuy]

Gawd! Why did she have to die?! Good comedians should never have to die, they should live on forever making other people die from laughter!

[1024SueNelson]

@ProcrastinatingGuy Well said, my friend, well said.

[VideoVixen24]

@ProcrastinatingGuy

And she wasn't even a comedian! Her first love was musical acting, and she won Tony a award for her Broadway performance. But BECAUSE she was so talented, she was able to perform beautifully in a comedic role! I really miss her.

[DarienMetal2]

RIP Nell Carter. God I loved this show and never missed it. So cool seeing this. This is my favorite version of the theme song. That girl could sing!!

[darkprince26]

of course she sings well.she used to do broadway musicals before she was on this show so she's really skilled.she was one of the greatest tv actress of all time.god rest her soul

[stndrds79]

oh yeah, this is a really good song. she sings very well!

[honeegrrl]

I like this opening song better than the first one.

[BlackPerspectivenet]

I think they're both really good in their own rights.

[Goukimessatsu2]

now that i'm older..I really love this song.

[jmoon219]

Metallica does a cover of this song on their latest album.

[doranda777]

I used to love this show!!! And I still do!

[chicola315]

I love this show back in the 80's.

RIP Dolph Sweet and Nell Carter

I also thought KAri Michaelson was the most beautiful girl on TV at the time.

[whatpleaseno]

Nell Carter is exceptional

[shanegedmonton]

brings back lots of memories...too bad NC was not happy on the set. I liked her but she did not always treat everyong nicely.

[SNSW1]

I read she had a stormy relationship, with the writers who wrote the scripts, because of creative differences.

[hysteriagirl]

Im waiting for Season 3, Everyone go on to Gimme a Break online and email VEI and tell them to release Season 3 and the Remaining Seasons.

[Drasvt]
