I loved this short lived show back in the Seventies. I think it didn't make it back then because the networks didn't want a decent middle class black family on TV. All the black tv shows back in the 1970's were about poor uneducated black people with barely getting by jobs. It's almost as if the networks were trying to give the American Black Family a bad look. It's as if they didn't want the whole Country to see that there were good,decent moral, educated wealthy Black American Families in America in the 1970's. The show showed class,good taste and family life how it was in the Seventies. And it was funny!
