Baby, I'm Back was an African-American sitcom that premiered January 30, 1978 on CBS, and abruptly cancelled on April 17, 1978 midway through its first season, due to poor ratings. This sitcom starred former Sanford and Son star Demond Wilson (in his first role after that series' cancellation), Room 222 alumna Denise Nicholas, Helen Martin later well known as gossipy neighbor Pearl Shay on 227; and future Facts of Life co-star Kim Fields.

When Raymond Ellis and Olivia Ellis separate after seven years of marriage, Ray abandons the family (his wife, seven-year-old son Jordan, and five-year-old daughter Angie) and heads to California. While in California, Ray finds out that his wife plans to remarry to Colonel Wallace Dickey, and that he has been declared legally dead. This prompts him to move back to Washington, D.C., where he tries to win back Olivia by proving he is a better husband, and a better father to his kids, and to prove that he is still legally alive. However, he now has to contend with his troublesome mother-in-law Luzelle (Helen Martin) and Olivia's soon to be husband Col. Dickey.

Denise Nicholas still is one of the most under rated actresses in hollywoood. I still think that she is more and more beautiful every day. I really wish I knew what she was doing now.

@georgyscruggs Denise recently wrote a book about her experience in a abusive relationship with her ex-husband. She was also featured in the interview on dvd about "Room 222", the show she starred in in the 1960's. She's a Kool Chick! I love her too!

@BlackAmericaCinema I always thought that the abusive husband was singer Bill Withers! I think I heard that from my late grandmother!! oh well... guess that's how urban legends are born.
