Even though Bowleg introduced Esther to Fred and not Elizabeth Fred still wouldn't have met Elizabeth if it weren't for Bowleg. If Fred hadn't have met Esther he probably wouldn't have met Elizabeth so he still kinda owes Bowleg.
The club owner was EXTREMELY annoying! If I was the audience I would have thrown tomatoes at him. Surely that bouncer couldn't take on the entire audience!
This show is funny! I wish they could have shown flashback scenes of Fred with his wife elizabeth when Lamont was a baby. Or flashback scenes when Lamont was a child and Fred was raising him alone...that would have been funny to see!
"That guy singing' was Billy Eckstine, and He wrote 'Jelly Jelly.' He was a hugely popular, successful and influenctial bop/ big band bandleader/ singer in the 1940s.
@LitCrit101 Wasn't there an episode of Sanford and Son called "Blind Mellow Jelly" about Fred's collection of records by that singer? I had seen the Jelly episode and then when I heard a singer in this episode singing about jelly I just assumed that was the same man whose record collection Fred wanted to sell! Can't be a coincidence!
@gardogg65 Lol! But if you remember in the "Blind Mellow Jelly" episode it was stated that Blind Mellow Jelly had been dead for 30 years and Bubba was his "son".
LOL introduced him to easther

It's funny, but the ending was foreshadowed.
Fred spent a huge amount of time preparing Bowleg's favorite meal, but it turns out he forgot what his favorite meal is.
Or maybe I'm just inserting non-existent foreshadowing lol

In the audience is Esther, and she's not with Woody. She was cheating. You can see her at 40 with the dude and better at 4:10.

Does anyone know the name of the song that Demond Wilson (Lamont) dances to? It's a cool little jazzy piece but can't identify it.

The club owner was kinda annoying getting up on the stage, he ruined some of the performance.
Lamont surprised me, he was good, a lil stiff, but good...
