1. Why did the role of the mother decrease?

2. Why was the rerun character seen very little in the last season

3. The ratings for the show in the 78-79 season.

4. A discussion about the first and second season opening credits when rerun is chasing the truck once raj and dewayne hops on the back of the truck.

5. Why the father was no longer seen or mentioned again.

6. Where did fred berry learn how to dance since the pop locking dance was so popular.



I bet you The E! True Hollywood story would not discuss any of the topics above.

I'm sure they would touch on the ratings and about the disappearance of Mrs. Thomas.

I disagree, if there were a True Hollywood story, I can see them mentioning something about #1,2,3,6. Maybe not number 5 because Bill(?) was never a major regular character. Number 4, why would anyone care about that?

Agreed #4 is silly.

I just would like to know where the idea came from to do the joke on rerun, I like to know everything about a show I watched all the time.

If E True Hollywood Story had a suggestion "box" where we could send them ideas for future shows I'd send them this and a few others!

That would be something where if they ever did commentary as a bonus feature for the dvd, they might have someone talking about that. But you're right, they won't mention something like that on True Hollywood Story.

I'd like to know how this show ever made it to syndication. I mean it only lasted three seasons and I don't think was ever in the top 10. I think that's unheard of nowadays with shows going into syndication.

It finshed in the top 30 twice, after the 76-77 season and 78-79 season. Ranked #25 in 77 and #28 in 79. So I'm wondering why it was not renewed? The show did better than the Jeffersons in the 78-79 season and was not added to the fall lineup of 79. Maybe he cast didn't want to do the show anymore.
