I don't know if a lot of ya'll know this, but Bernadette Stanis did have a show after the end of GT called, "PennyWise". It was shown on Mississippi ETV (aka PBS in MS), the show was about teaching kids how to handle money and Bernadette played PennyWise, the star of the show.

Was this a show that called for her to act or was she just a kind of host? The most memorable post Good Times thing that she has done for me was when she played Tyrone Burton's alcoholic mother in one of the last episodes of The Parent Hood. That was 20 years after Good Times ended and she looked exactly the same.

She was kinda the host on there, I remember show real well. There were other sketches on the show, but she was the host.

The fact that it was on PBS, it's not even worth mentioning-lol

lol true

I remember seeing her and her husband on 5 episodes of the gameshow Tattletales. But that was when she was still on Good Times

:lol:

At least, this show kept her in the spotlight, somewhat.

Did she ever date Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs?

:lol: :lol: :lol: I knew somebody was going to say something along those lines.

I remember her being on the Love Boat. But so was just about every other cast member.

If I remember correctly she was a frustrated wife who's husband had a sports obsession and would pay more attention to football and basketball then to her needs.

Am I the only one here who actually remembers PennyWise?????Seeing as it was on PBS back in 1980, I don't think many people would remember.

How was her name spelled on the credits????
BerNadette
Bernnadette Stanis
BernNadette Stanis
Bern Nadette Stanis
Bern nadette Stanis
Bernnadette Stanislaus

The love of my life's name was Bernadette.

I regret not making her my wife because I didn't trust myself.

I wonder what she is doing now.

SNAP back to reality.

:schmack: I just snapped you back George.

I'm gonna look her up right now. Time I grow up already. I hope she still works at Taco Bell. It has only been a small ten years. so she should still be there right?

oh....yeah sure George...I am sure she is still there. 99% of me believes that too.

Enough with the jokes, ok? I'm talking about Bernadette's show here.

I thought I remebered some black woman and money on PBS as child but extremely vague.

Who should Wise Up? Bernadette? I wish she had done more. She and Jimmie were reunited on his sitcom "Bustin' Loose" in 1987. She guest starred as Ms. Fisherman?(I think the name is right) but was reffered to as "Ms. Fish Face" by one of the kids Sonny(Jimmie) worked with. I honestly though when Jimmie and Bernadette's characters were on screen together for the first time on the show, I thought that they were gonna act like JJ and Thelma. LOL.

For those who laughed at me, get ready to eat your words!!!!!!!

For the record, I never laughed at you! I agreed.If you go back to my post it's stated that I remember some black woman in money very vaguely. I remember seeing the show during the mid-1980s. I never doubted you because you brought back a memory. It was extremely vague but I remembered a little bit of it. I am about to watch the video that you provided. Let everyone else eat their words. LOL.

PBS would put on a lot of black show's and then would cancel them after a season or a couple of episodes. There were show's like 'Up & Coming', "Getting To Know Me, and 'Watch Your Mouth', which never had the full backing of PBS and were cancelled after 1 season.

Here's more Pennywi$e

One of the few episodes of that show I saw as a kid. She was the mean teacher who wouldn’t use the little girls drawing because she felt it was ghetto. Her and Jimmie did have an argument on the show.
