Dr. Jazz 04-11-2004, 12:46 AM 227 was a funny show about the tennants of a Washington, DC apartment building. The building's address was 227. There was a big 227 over the building entrance. Right below was the stoop, where many of the show's scenes took place. 227 ran for 5 seasons, from 1985-1990. It aired on NBC on Saturday nights. It currently airs on TV-One. As you can tell, it's one of my favorite shows :) Hope I was able help you some.

I knew that Christine Houston wrote the play but I don't have any recollection of Marla being in it. Who knows? I could be wrong. Where did you hear that information from?

The original play, 227, had been written by Christine Houston of Chicago, and performed by Marla Gibbs' own Cross Roads Academy, a local community theater troupe in Los Angeles. lil_weezy 11-14-2005, 07:52 PM This is what I found.

I didn't think Marla starred in the play...I thought she just bought the rights of it and turned it into the show. |
